The debate over the origin of Chicago's deep dish pizza is intricate, with no clear answer, as both personal narratives and business claims factor into its history.
Pizzeria Uno, opened in 1943, is widely acknowledged as the birthplace of deep dish pizza, credited to its founders, though the real creators may have been the cooks.
While Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo opened Pizzeria Uno, the actual recipe and method may have stemmed from pizza makers like Rudy Malnati Sr. and Alice May Redmond.
Deep dish pizza's launch in Chicago sparked numerous imitators, creating a distinct culinary lineage; however, the true origin remains contested and shrouded in local lore.
