Uno was a small neighborhood grill opened in 1943. It was 1978 before anyone outside of that local neighborhood knew of it, when another fellow persuaded Mr.Sewell to give rights to expand the market and focus on the pizza recipe.
It was obviously well marketed, and God Bless their success. I just don't consider it "Chicago Style Pizza". That is a marketing tag, nothing more.
(I consider it a 'casserole' too.... lined with cornmeal.) But that's just me...
