Little Joeys is off 441 in Baylee's plaza. North on 441. Actually Summerfied but what I still think of as outside the Villages.

Seriously, I had the orginal owners deep dish pizza in Chicago many years ago. It was as thick as a slice of apple pie. It was the best pizza I ever ate.

Does anybody know the originator's name of the deep dish pizza? Mama something?

I love all pizza but unfortunately, my taste buds are not very dicriminate so the guy down from whatever street I live in is good enough for me.

I believe Uno Pizza says they were the first in 1943.

Here's what it says on a website about the history of pizza. The following sentence was marked 1943.

Chicago-style deep-dish pizza (a pizza with a flaky crust that rises an inch or more above the plate and surrounds deep piles of toppings) was created by Ike Sewell at his bar and grill called Pizzeria Uno.

We need a good NY pizza. Chicago makes a pizza casserole not a pizza pie. They have there place i guess, but I would not put Chicago and pizza in the some sentence without smiling.

Thanks. It was nice of you to take the time to look this question up!

MEMORIES: We grew up on "Toni and Ann's" Pizza. It was a little tiny pizza place owned by Tony and Ann in Chelmsford, MA.. They would close and go South for the Winter and people would flock to by frozen pizza's and freeze them. We couldn't wait until Tony got back in the Spring to reopen. It's been closed for years now but the children decide to open up again , this time in Dracut, MA. The place was a gold mine.

We would go to Tony' after dancing at the "Commodore" Ballroom on Saturday nights :-)........The good old days.

Everyone seems to think where they come from has the best pizza. I can't tell you how many times I've visited NY and at the best had only a mediocre pizza. I grew up in Miami and judge pizzas from what I remember in the 50's.
It's what you are used to. Same goes for NY bagels. My first 10 years were in Pittsburgh and swear the hot dogs there were better than anywhere else in the world. I'm sure that there would be those that disagree.
You pay your money and take your choice.

Who has the best pizza? It's a question that's probably on equal footing with the age old questions of what came first, the horse or the carrage, or the chicken or the egg! So I have to say that the question is purely relative.

As for me, I feel that I'm currently lucky because in the small upstate NY village I live in I have a choice of six - yes - that six different places I can get pizza and all of them deliver to my home. They are all unique, with different charactistics, sizes and shapes, and not a one that's part of a chain like Pizza Hut, Dominos or Papa John. Also, there's not a one of them that I don't like.

In a couple of months though, that luck will end when we'll have moved to our home in TV. We will then no longer be able to order from any of those six pizza places, and that to me is one of my few negatives about moving to TV. During our two month stay, after closing on our TV home in January, we only discovered one place that delivers pizza, and it's Papa Johns, a chain operation, and you can't order other Italian meals and more like I can with the 6 local places. I feel that any of the six up here in NY are better, but at the same time we find Papa Johns acceptable and will still order from them unless a better option comes along in the future!

I lived in Naperville for about 11 years before moving to NW Florida.

Originally, I am from central Illinois near Peoria.

No, I do not miss it at all!

I think Bonny is right; Uno's was the first to do deep dish Chicago style pizza.

It is so good but it packs on the pounds!

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...

I agree with the Papa Murphys take and bake. Get your pizza to order and take it home. We had one in St Cloud MN, and really missed it when we moved to Florida. We like to eat at hme more n hte winter months when the restaurants are so crowded!!! I just googled it and there are Papa's in Apopka, Lake Mary, Longwood and Ocoee. So maybe we have a shot at it. They are franchised. And that Garlic Chicken pizza is great!!!

Forgetaboutit. Hands down, Sicilia's Pizzeria on Federal Hill in Providence, RI. Mmmmm.
