Pizza is a traditional Italian fare that was introduced by immigrants to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In America it has evolved to unique variations, including this Deep Dish Pizza variety. What makes this pizza special is the thicker raised crust which is baked with the pizza. The pizza itself is filled with sauce, cheese, and other ingredients. It is served hot from the oven, cut in triangular pieces and served along with a salad, garlic knots, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks, and/or onion rings. Many in the midwest also call it Chicago style pizza. This recipe has many variants, which are found at the end of the recipe.
