CHICAGO -- The city that boasts it gave the world deep-dish pizza will soon be home to a pizza museum.
The U.S. Pizza Museum is expected to open its doors in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood on Friday. The Chicago Tribune reports the museum will be open through October, and possibly longer.
The museum was created in 2015 but has mostly existed online and in pop-up exhibits.
Museum founder Kendall Bruns says the new space will be 3,000 square feet and allow him to tell the full story of pizza and its U.S. makers.

I’m dying for a slice!
Deep-dish pizza is a heretical, schismatic branch of the one true Pizza religion.
What will be called? Pizzagate? Fitting place for it.
Sponsored by Papa Johns?
I think a museum is the perfect place for Chicago style pizza
I’m surprised it wasn’t in New York City, since the first true pizzas (Neopolitan style) showed up there with Lombardi’s Pizza in 1905.
I vote for Imo’s Pizza from STL.
Just ask for a crispy crust.
NY style anytime, every time....
Yet another in a long line of museums and I will never take the time to visit. When I was in high school a few of us used to ride our 10 speeds down from Seven Corners into DC on weekends. Park the bikes next to a Smithsonian building and go visit for 3 or 4 hours and then ride home. Those days are long gone because it just isn’t the same anymore. But wow, what a way to spend a Saturday afternoon as a young teenager.
Sounds cheesy.
That Chicago mess should be called a tomato cobbler, not a pizza.
Slices or squares are the only real pizza ... and they’re from New York City!
Kinda like the Rock&Roll HOF being in Cleveland.

Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. ......
There is a deep dish “Sicilian pie” which bears little resemblance to this. More like coffee cake than anything else and the best vehicle for anchovy.
Chicago doesn’t even know how to cut a pizza.
Lol...good description!
There is no pizza like a true Chicago deep dish.
What you describe is the aforementioned “square”, also called Sicilian style.
It was a standard rendition in New York 60+ years ago in addition to the round Neapolitan slices.

The Pittsburgh area has an amazing number of really good pizza shops.
Italian immigrants came to work the steel mills, you see.
