Cultural historian Tim Samuelson is quite sure the person behind the tomato-y treasure is an artist-turned-pizza connoisseur.
No ifs, ands, or buts – deep-dish pizza is a hot Chicago commodity. But an icy argument sometimes circles the internet: Who first created the city staple?
"They would put samples out on the bar for people to try and it was like, you know, 'What's this?'" Samuelson said.That's why Pizzeria Uno pays homage to a different man named Ike Sewell. Therefore, nobody would ever have tasted Gino's East Pizza - which opened in 1966. Its take on deep dish came from Alice Mae Redmond, who worked as a cook at Pizzeria Uno first. She's not the only employee who left.In 1971, the first Lou Malnati's in Lincolnwood brought a new twist to the deep-dish dining experience.
