Chicago deep-dish pizza is like a casserole and a pie had a baby.
Imagine you have a big, round pan, like the ones your mom uses to make cookies or casseroles. First, they put a layer of crispy crust on the bottom, like the base of a toy box. Then, they add cheese, thick and soft, like a blanket for the crust. Next comes sauce, not thin like tomato juice, but more like syrup, it’s thick and tangy, just like the juice you get from a lemon when you squeeze it hard.
Then they put in pizza dough, folded over the top like a lid on a cookie jar, sealing in all that gooey goodness. Finally, they bake it all in a hot oven, so everything gets crispy on the outside and melty inside.
How It Feels
If you bite into it, it’s like taking a big, warm hug from your favorite blanket, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Some people say it feels like eating a pizza sandwich, but instead of bread, it has crust and cheese doing all the work!
Examples
