This Loop Pizzeria In Illinois Bakes A Buttery Deep Dish With Real Malnati Family Roots

A deep-dish pizza with a buttery crust and a family tree tied to one of the biggest names in Chicago pizza history? That combination stops me in my tracks every time. The crust is the first clue.

Let’s Eat: The Chicago pizza experience in Nashville

Tavern-style pizza was invented in Chicago in the 1930s as a way to provide customers with a snack to drink with their beer (and, thereby, have more beer). Its distinctive features start with an ultra-thin, cracker-like crust. The toppings are spread edge to edge and the pie is cut into small squares instead of the usual wedges.

AI Cameras Send Alerts in Seconds at Chicago-Area Stores, but Bias Fears Linger

International Fresh Market — Reported Site of AI Alert Demonstration. Security cameras in about two dozen Chicago-area stores are now doing more than recording — they're using artificial intelligence to flag suspected shoplifting and send alerts to employees within seconds.
