Pizza: History of Squares and Slices in the Windy City

Author Steve Dolinsky takes us through the history of pizza styles, locales, and people that make Chicago a famed pizza destination.

In The Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide: A History of Squares & Slices in the Windy City, Steve highlights his top picks for pie, offers a pizza lover’s glossary, and shows you every pie he ate along the way. He'll share some of the stories behind and within the book, and talk about just why Chicago is such a strong pizza city.
