Why Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza Is Different From Ordinary Pizza

When most people think of pizza, they picture a traditional thin crust topped with sauce, cheese, and toppings. But Chicago-style deep dish pizza is a completely different experience.

At Chicago’s Pizza Kitchen in University Place, we make our deep dish pizza the Chicago way, using a buttery crust, premium mozzarella cheese, and a generous layer of house made tomato pizza sauce.

What Makes Chicago Deep Dish Special?

Unlike traditional pizza, Chicago deep dish is built in reverse.

First, we start with our signature crust pressed into a deep pan. Next comes a layer of mozzarella cheese followed by your favorite toppings. Finally, we finish with a rich tomato sauce on top.

This unique layering helps keep the crust crisp while creating the hearty flavor Chicago deep dish is famous for.

A Meal, Not Just a Pizza

One slice of authentic deep dish pizza is often more filling than several slices of traditional pizza. The crust, generous cheese, and fresh toppings create a meal that satisfies even the biggest appetite.

That’s one reason Chicago deep dish has remained a favorite for generations.

Made Fresh to Order

Every deep dish pizza at Chicago’s Pizza Kitchen is made fresh to order. We never rush the process because great pizza takes time.

Whether you prefer cheese, pepperoni, sausage, or a specialty combination, our deep dish pizzas are baked until golden brown and loaded with flavor.
