In Chicago, eating pizza is a dining experience, not just a snack. But it wasn't always that way. Ike Sewell changed things back in 1943 when he created Deep Dish Pizza. Some folks call it Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Ike figured that if you combined some of Italy's old, authentic recipes with impressive quantities of the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses, pizza would become a hearty meal. So he opened Pizzeria Uno as a fine restaurant specializing in his new Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and it wasn't long before the restaurant had more customers than it could handle. Because Uno didn't have enough room to expand, Ike did another wonderful thing. He opened another Chicago Pizzeria and called it Pizzeria Due.
