After all, Chicago is home to deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hotdogs smothered in tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, and pickles. Attend a Chicago culinary school and you'll have a chance to try (and make) it all. Deep Dish Delish in ChicagoOne of Chicago's claims to fame is its Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. While its origins have been disputed, one famous story says that Ike Sewell of the original Pizzeria Uno wanted a pizza that would be filling enough to be a meal—not just a snack. He allegedly invented deep-dish pizza in 1943, and Chicagoans have been enjoying it ever since.Today, locals and visitors alike flock to the original Pizzeria Uno, plus other pizzerias vying for the title of Chicago's best deep dish, like Lou Malnati's, Gino's East, and Giordano's. Chicago's biggest Italian pies my steal a pizz'a your heart, but that's only the beginning of all the Windy City has in store for you.
