Americans love pizza, but it’s not without debate. Which toppings are the best? Does pineapple belong? New York-style, Detroit-style, or Chicago-style? Thin crust, flatbread, thick crust, or stuffed crust? Pizza lovers all have their preferences. Rosati’s Pizza of Chicago understands everyone enjoys pizza differently, but we also know we have the best Chicago-style pizza. Next time you have a craving for a deep-dish pizza, don’t even bother searching “Chicago pizza near me.” Just go to Rosati’s Downtown.
What is Chicago-Style Pizza?
Chicago-style pizza, originating in Chicago, is a deep-dish crust similar to a pie crust versus the thin, flat crusts of New York-style pizza. The deep dish pizza crusts are generally made with a higher fat content, giving them a flaky, buttery, and delicious texture.
Chicago pizza is assembled in the reverse order of traditional pizza: mounds of fresh mozzarella on the bottom, toppings of choice, and finished with a layer of sauce. The Chicago-style sauce is a chunky tomato sauce. The sauce on top helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Chicago-style pizza is often baked in a deep, round pan, giving the pizza the high edges needed to hold the saucy and cheesy goodness. Chicago-style pizza can be more hearty and indulgent than a traditional slice. When the craving for Chicago pizza hits, and you’re wondering, “Where can I get Chicago pizza near me?” wonder no more. Rosati’s Downtown and Rosati’s The Loop are the answers.
