Pizzeria Uno lovers can now order The Original ’43 deep-dish pizzas fromwww.pizzeriaunochicago.com. Pizzas can be ordered in a 2, 4 or 6-pizza pack with a choice of cheese, pepperoni, sausage or Pizzeria Uno’s world-renown Numero Uno®.
“Our fans throughout the nation have long begged us to make this wonderful product available to them via mail order and I am thrilled that we are able to satisfy their craving for The Original ‘43”, said Pizzeria Uno President & CEO Louie Psallidas. “We see The Original ’43 as an incredibly tasty deep dish pizza combined with a little nostalgia for the Pizzeria Uno experience. It really is an original souvenir of Chicago from the inventors of deep dish pizza.”
Each Original ’43 deep-dish pizza is a handcrafted, 10-inch, deep-dish pie, made using the original recipe from 1943, then packed with dry ice and shipped in insulated containers, usually within 2 days. Detailed cooking instructions are also provided.
Pizzeria Uno’s founder, Ike Sewell, created deep-dish pizza in his Chicago restaurant at the corner of Ohio and Wabash in 1943. The deep-dish pizza had a buttery, out-of-this-world crust, a tall edge, and combined authentic Italian spices, quality tomatoes and abundant cheeses. People have been lining up for Pizzeria Uno’s deep-dish pizza ever since.
Now, Pizzeria Uno fans can avoid waiting in line! All they have to do is click and order The Original ’43.
