If you’re looking to become familiar with new food on a vacation to Chicago, we recommend visiting a popular pizzeria to try Chicago-style pizza. Unlike New York City, Chicago is historically known for its deep-dish pizzas. A Chicago-style pizza includes thick crust, cheese, sausage or pepperoni, vegetables, and tomato sauce that is crafted with fresh tomatoes. The dough of a deep-dish pizza is baked in a large circular pan. Since it takes more time to bake a deep-dish pizza when compared to a thin-crust pizza, the mozzarella cheese on a deep dish pizza is usually buried beneath the tomatoes, vegetables, and meat to prevent it from burning in the oven.
