What is unique about Chicago style pizza?

Deep dish pizzas require longer times in the oven than thin-crust pizzas, and if the delicious mozzarella cheese was on top and exposed to direct heat for the full baking time, it would burn or become rubbery. Thus, Chicago style pizzas are built in the following order: crust, cheese, toppings, tomato sauce.

Why is Chicago pizza different?

Unlike regular pizzas where the dough ends are rolled, the dough in a Chicago deep-dish pizza is pushed and pressed to the sides of the pan, creating a crispy crust afterward. Basically, bakers push the dough to the sides, similar to an apple pie crust, to create a thicker type of pizza.
