The name "tavern-style" comes from the pizzas originally being served in taverns, often as an enticement to drink alcohol. This origin in taverns is also linked to the pizza's shape, as the square shape of the slices made it possible for taverns that did not have plates to instead set them on napkins.<ref name="tavern">{{Cite web |last=McClelland |first=Edward |date=June 30, 2020 |title=Tavern Style Isn't Just Chicago's Signature Pizza, but Its Signature Food |url=https://www.chicagomag.com/dining-drinking/june-2020/tavern-style-pizza-history/ |access-date=August 22, 2022 |website=Chicago Magazine |archive-date=February 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227103519/https://www.chicagomag.com/dining-drinking/June-2020/Tavern-Style-Pizza-History/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Tavern-style thin-crust pizza

Tavern-style pizza is a type of pizza that has a crust firm enough to have a noticeable crunch and the slices are cut into squares, as opposed to wedges.[1][2][3] It is also known as Milwaukee-style pizza.

The name "tavern-style" comes from the pizzas originally being served in taverns, often as an enticement to drink alcohol. This origin in taverns is also linked to the pizza's shape, as the square shape of the slices made it possible for taverns that did not have plates to instead set them on napkins.[4]

Residents of two cites claim to have originated it in the 1940s: Milwaukee, where it is known as Milwaukee-style pizza,[5][6][7] and Chicago.[1][8][9]

As of 2013, according to Grubhub data and the company Chicago Pizza Tours, thin-crust outsells the more widely known deep-dish style among locals, with GrubHub stating that deep-dish comprises only 9% of its pizza deliveries.[10][11] In response, Technomics food industry researcher Darren Tristano questioned GrubHub's conclusion on the basis of the delivery service's user demographics, saying that its younger users can not afford deep dish pizza, while NPR noted that the data would not include information on two particular deep-dish chains (though with just 20 restaurants in the city of 2.7 million) that are not on GrubHub.[10]
