History of California Pizza Two entrepreneurs from Nepal, Italy wanted to put a twist on pizza combining Italian and American styles of pizza. The result of this was Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo opened Pizzeria Uno in Chicago’s Near North Side neighborhood in 1943. The new style of pizza had a deeper dish and crunchers crust. Inside of the new invention are multiple layers of meat, vegetables, thin tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and cracker- like crust. Typically Consumed: This pizza is typically consumed in Chicago. Cultural Influences: The Italian culture greatly influenced this type of pizza. Crust Prepared: The crust is coated in olive oil and then white and semolina flour is added on top. After this it is pressed against the pan’s bottom and edges. The olive oil will slightly fry the dough during the baking process that makes it crunchy and golden. Type of Sauce: Thin sauce is used on this pizza. Traditional Toppings: Traditional toppings would include mozzarella cheese, vegetables, Italian sausage and meats, and tomatoes. Picture: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil.Cook the sausage rounds until they turn brown on each side, 8 to 10 minutes. Grease the inside of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with the butter.Place the pizza dough in the center and spread evenly towards the bottom edge and 1 1/2 inches up the sides. The order of layers is very important to achieving a crisp bottom crust. Begin with the sausage. Evenly lay the sausage on the dough, followed by the mozzarella and marinara. Sprinkle the garlic and oregano on top. Finish with the Parmesan and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the skillet pizza on the bottom rack of the oven and cook until the edge of the crust is golden brown and crusty, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. 5 Fun Facts: 1. 93% of Americans have eaten pizza in the last month.2. Each person in America eats about 46 pizza slices per year.3.
