On the hunt for Pope Leo’s hometown deep dish in Rome
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is traveling to Rome this week to meet with Pope Leo the 14th.
Before he left, he repeated his now common catchphrase:
JOHNSON: Everything dope, including the pope, comes from the greatest freaking city in the world.
Well, that includes deep dish pizza, which the Chicago-born pope has a soft spot for.

WBEZ’s Mariah Woelfel and the Sun-Times Zubaer Khan are in Rome and visited several pizzerias to find out.
