Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between deep-dish pizza and regular pizza?

Should you eat a deep-dish pizza with a knife and fork?

Obviously, it’s a matter of preference and the decision is up to you. However, you might be more inclined to use utensils when it comes to eating deep dish pizza, as you would if you were eating a pie. This way, you can avoid spilling or getting your mouth too messy when you eat it.
