JJ asked Kristen Ashley:

Is Benny's Pizza pie just a normal pizza? i mean is that what you call it in the US? Cause i keep imagining a pizza pie, as in a pie with pizza stuffing (if that makes any sense) lol.

Kristen Ashley Well, Chicago Style pizza is pan pizza. Deep dish. LOTS of delicious, chewy crust. Back in the day when I was young, we used to go to Cubs games then go to Uno's pizzeria (the original one, or Due's, the one Uno's opened down the block when it got so popular, they had to have another location...and if memory serves, they did indeed just open another restaurant down the block!).

It came in a cast iron pizza pan and honestly, one slice would do you. A slice was like, an inch thick!

So no. Chicago-style pizza, thus Benny's pizza, is not normal pizza. It's not even normal pan pizza. You can only get true Chicago-style pizza in Chicago. And if you manage to do that, you'll count yourself lucky.

We had pizza for dinner last night. And now I'm craving it again...but only if I could beam myself to Chicago for some Uno's!
