Annunziata Palese, the woman who co-founded Nancy’s Pizza, and whose nickname became synonymous with stuffed pizza in Chicago and made the city’s greatest cheese pull famous around the world, died Jan. 20 at 87 years old.

Palese’s late husband, Rocco Palese, first made the Chicago-style stuffed pizza in 1971 at Guy’s Pizza, which they took over in the Hermosa neighborhood.

“When he invented the stuffed pizza, there was war,” she said in a 2016 Tribune profile, her English imbued with Italian. “We fight. I no want to do it. Sometimes we was so busy, and he fool around with the stuffed pizza, and I needed help, because we had nobody.”

““We were just people who worked in the kitchen,” she said in 2016, “Me and him, we used to work on the pizza, so once in a while, we fight.”

“But we laugh. We fight,” she said. “But after, it was nothing, no more.”

“I wish he was still here. God, he took him too early.””

The definition of a good life and relationship.
