how is Chicago-style made?

Chicago-style pizza is a deep-dish pizza that originated in Chicago, Illinois. It is made by creating a high, buttery, flaky crust and filling it with a layer of cheese, topped with chunky tomato sauce, and sometimes other ingredients like sausage, pepperoni, vegetables, or olives. The toppings are added in reverse order from a typical pizza, starting with the sauce on top of the cheese. This creates a filling, hearty pizza that is typically served in square slices. To make a Chicago-style pizza, the dough is first pressed into a deep-dish pan, then a layer of cheese is added, followed by the toppings and sauce. The pizza is then baked in a high-heat oven to cook the crust and melt the cheese.
