>It turns out one of America’s most iconic comfort foods started with a failed plan and a Texan who didn't even like the idea.>In 1943 Chicago, a former University of Texas football player named Ike Sewell decided to open a restaurant with his partner, Ric Riccardo. Sewell's original vision had nothing to in with pizza.>He was a Texan, through and through, and wanted to bring the taste of Mexico to the Windy City. They worked on their plan, but when they held a trial run of the menu, the food was apparently a disaster.>Forced to pivot, his partner Riccardo suggested they get into the growing pizza business. Sewell was not impressed, describing early versions of the dish as a 'soggy appetizer.'>But they kept working, determined to create something different. They wanted a hearty meal, not just a snack. They developed a thick, substantial crust and reversed the ingredients, putting the mozzarella on the bottom, followed by toppings, and finally a chunky tomato sauce. >The result was a brand-new style of pizza, baked in a deep pan like a pie. On December 2, 1943, they opened Pizzeria Uno at the corner of Wabash and Ohio, and deep-dish pizza was born.Sewell, the man who once disliked pizza, had accidentally created a culinary legend that would become a symbol of Chicago itself. >This new creation was a perfect, affordable meal for working families in the city, and its popularity grew steadily, becoming a cornerstone of American food history.
