Of course, the deep dish pizza is just the tip of the iceberg. Chicago also charms with its Art Museum, the shores of Lake Michigan, and its lively neighborhoods.

Eager to extend the American adventure elsewhere? Why not kill two birds with one stone and discover other great travel deals, like enjoying savings on transport, planning a mountain escape, or even taking advantage of a free night at Center Parcs? And don’t forget to check out great rates for travel insurance to travel with peace of mind.
The deep dish: a caloric and irresistible icon
For novices, tasting the deep dish is both a challenge and an invitation to escape. Born in 1943, this unique dish first reveals a rich, thick crust, covered with an inverted festival of gooey cheese, crispy vegetables, meat, and finally – to crown it all – a generous tomato sauce. Forget Italian pizzas in the Neapolitan style: here, indulgence presents itself in thickness and visual delight. If you lean towards a lighter option, head to establishments in the south and west neighborhoods, where the classic pizza is offered in square slices to share with friends.
When tourism and gastronomy team up
Is betting on gastronomy as a tourism driver? Chicago fully embraces this, transforming its pizzerias into real attractions. This initiative follows the success of the “Chicago Brew Pass” that had already introduced thousands of visitors to local breweries. This time, it’s the pizza ovens that are making the city vibrate, much to the delight of gourmets… and travelers curious for authentic experiences.
