Lay this on your friends at some point during the day tomorrow and then walk away smugly, basking in your superior Texanhood: It took a Texan, Ike Sewell, to invent Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. In 1943 Sewell opened Pizzeria Uno restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, offering a style of pizza that was previously unheard of. Sewell was born in Wills Point, Texas, 50 miles east of Dallas, and grew up in San Antonio. A graduate of the University of Texas Sewell achieved both All-Southwestern Conference (SWC) and All-American honors as a guard on the Longhorns team, then migrated to Chicago and blew those Yankees minds.
