Chicago-style pizza is pizza prepared according to several styles developed in Chicago. It can refer to both the well-known deep-dish or stuffed pizzas and the lesser-known thin-crust tavern-style pizzas.

The thin-crust pizza is cut in squares instead of slices, and is also referred to as a "tavern-style" pizza.
