DeKalb will add another pizza place to the community as Rosati’s Pizzeria, 930 Pappas Drive, pushes closer to its opening date. Read more about their opening here.

1. The crust

The crust, similar to a bowl or pan, holds everything inside its high walls. The dough is worked and baked all the way up the side of the deep pan. This unique style dough offers a buttery crunch with every bite.

2. The toppings

The abundance of crust allows for more toppings than a pan or thin crust pizza. Chicago-style pizza toppings get stuffed inside the bowl of dough compared to thin crust’s sprinkling of toppings. Rosati’s Pizzeria provides a fully-loaded option with their Rosati’s Monster. This pizza comes packed with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and green and black olives.

3. The preparation

While most pizza styles are assembled with the sauce in between the cheese and the crust, Chicago-style pizza flips the script. Chicago-style pizza slathers the pizza sauce on top of the cheese. This formula of sauce on top saves the cheese from burning as the crust takes much longer to cook than a thin crust pizza.
