π **Today in Pizza History | September 25**
Today has a terrific one. On **September 25, 1955**, opened in Chicago. It was the sister restaurant to Pizzeria Uno, the restaurant credited with introducing Chicago deep-dish pizza in 1943. That means **Pizzeria Due turns 71 today**. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}
And pizza history may literally be made **tonight**. In New Haven, Connecticut, organizers are attempting a Guinness World Records title for the **largest gathering of people dressed as pizza**, aiming for about **5,000 human pizza slices** on the New Haven Green. ππ :chatgpt-content-reference{index="2"}

ππ **TODAY IN PIZZA HISTORY!**
On September 25, 1955, Chicago's famous **Pizzeria Due** opened its doors, helping carry on the city's legendary deep-dish pizza tradition.

Pizza has changed a lot over the years, but one thing hasn't: people will go to some pretty crazy lengths for a good pie!
Here at **Red Dirt Pizza**, we'll skip the pizza costumes and stick to making the real thing. π₯π
