LYD Spotlight: Pizza by Alex - Garland, TX

Get excited for a Garland’s own Chicago-style pizza! Pizza by Alex in downtown Garland dishes up traditional Chicago-style pizza plus the common pizzas we all know and love. While Pizza by Alex’s other pizzas are delectable; eaters must order their famous, unique Chicago-style pizza. What exactly is a Chicago style pizza? It's street name is Chicago Deep Dish and originated, of course, in Chicago. The pizza is formed in a deep dish pan where the crust is around 3 inches tall filled with any pizza topping with cheese and red sauce melting throughout. But what makes this Chicago style is the thin, light crust on top to make the pizza pie! This dish is a hearty, carb-y, lasagna cut into triangular slices, in a sense, that just begs to be eaten! The melted cheese sinking into the marinara and tasty toppings (of your choice) just makes your mouth water! You won’t even care that you’re stuffed after about 2 pieces. You’ll want more! If that sounds like too much for tonight's meal, no worries! Pizza by Alex creates thin and pan crust pies too.
