The article discusses the ongoing debate over Chicago-style pizza, focusing on the distinction between deep dish and tavern-style varieties. While deep dish, popularized by Pizzeria Uno in 1943, tends to be viewed as the emblematic Chicago pizza, tavern-style, which has its origins in the early 20th century, is often asserted by locals to be the true style. Tavern-style pizza, served in small squares and designed to accompany drinks, offers a portable option and gained prominence during the latter half of the 20th century, yet remains overshadowed by the richer deep dish variety.
Chicago-style pizza has long been debated, with deep dish overshadowing tavern-style since the 1940s. Yet, many locals argue tavern-style is the true representation of the city.
Tavern-style pizza’s history dates back to the early 20th century, emphasizing its role as a drinking companion rather than a full meal, often served in small squares.
