Pizzeria Uno held a ribbon cutting to celebrate their new La Porte location inside the Pine Lake Resort & Banquets, 444 Pine Lake Avenue, on October 19th starting at 4:30 p.m. The event included a tour of the Resort as well as a sneak preview tasting of the pizza offerings.
The Uno story begins in Chicago in 1943 when Ike Sewell developed deep dish pizza and opened a new type of restaurant at the corner of Ohio & Wabash. It was here that Ike served a pizza unlike any that had been served before. Buttery 'out-of-this-world' crust that had a tall edge like a fruit pie. He created a recipe that combined authentic Italian spices and quality tomatoes with more cheese than people could believe and then baked it for nearly an hour. Today, Pizzeria Uno is international, with locations in 20 states, the District of Columbia, Honduras, Qatar, India and Saudi Arabia, but they still make their deep-dish dough fresh every morning.
Suzanne Jawdat, General Manager of Pizzeria Uno La Porte said of the new location, “We are proud to bring the Pizzeria Uno experience to La Porte. Take a bite out of life and have a slice of Uno’s great deep-dish Chicago-style pizza!”Pizzeria Uno officially opened to the public on Friday, October 20th from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. To learn more, call 219.946.9006, follow them on Facebook or visit their website at www.unos.com .
