What exactly is Rupiani’s® stuffed deep dish?
Rupiani’s® is our own take on Chicago stuffed deep dish — thick, hearty, cheese-forward, and finished with a generous layer of tomato sauce on top.
Unlike traditional Chicago stuffed pizza, Rupiani’s® does not use a second layer of crust beneath the sauce.
Instead, each pizza starts with a thick deep dish crust, is loaded with over ½ pound of Wisconsin mozzarella and premium ingredients, then finished with our signature house-made tomato sauce.
The result sits between Chicago’s traditional deep dish and stuffed styles: the substantial, sauce-on-top character people associate with stuffed pizza, without the second crust.
It’s unmistakably Chicago — and unmistakably Rupiani’s®.
What makes Rupiani’s® different from other Chicago pizzas?
It starts with the sauce.
Every Rupiani’s® pizza is built around a bold layer of our signature house-made tomato sauce — the recipe that made Rupiani’s® famous.
Beneath that sauce you’ll find over ½ pound of Wisconsin mozzarella, premium ingredients, and a thick, buttery deep dish crust.
Our style borrows from Chicago’s deep dish and stuffed traditions: thick and substantial, loaded with cheese, and finished sauce-first on top — but without the second crust found on traditional stuffed pizza.
The result is our own unmistakable Chicago style.
Does Rupiani’s® really taste like authentic Chicago deep dish?
Absolutely.
Every Rupiani’s® pizza is handmade in Chicago and par-baked before shipping, allowing you to finish baking it fresh in your own oven.
Our style is thicker, cheesier, and more sauce-forward than some traditional Chicago deep dish pizzas, with characteristics of Chicago stuffed pizza — but without the second crust.
That means you get a thick buttery crust, over ½ pound of Wisconsin mozzarella, and our signature house-made tomato sauce layered generously across the top.
It’s not an imitation of another Chicago pizzeria. It’s our own take on the Chicago deep dish tradition, handmade in the city and designed to deliver that experience anywhere in America.
How does Rupiani’s® compare to other Chicago deep dish pizzas?
Chicago doesn't have just one kind of deep dish.
Some famous Chicago pizzerias make a thinner, more traditional deep dish. Others specialize in the thicker stuffed style, typically made with a second layer of dough beneath the sauce.
Rupiani’s® takes inspiration from both.
Our pizzas have the thick, substantial build, generous cheese, and sauce-on-top character associated with Chicago stuffed pizza — but without the second crust.
Instead, we put the focus on a buttery deep dish crust, over ½ pound of Wisconsin mozzarella, premium ingredients, and an unapologetically generous layer of our signature house-made tomato sauce.
That sauce-forward approach is what defines Rupiani’s®.
We aren't trying to recreate another Chicago pizzeria. We're making our own expression of Chicago deep dish — handmade in River North and built to be enjoyed anywhere in America.
Are these really handmade, or is that just marketing?
Yes. Every Rupiani’s® stuffed deep dish pizza is handmade in Chicago’s historic River North neighborhood.
No molds. No assembly lines. No shortcuts. Just skilled hands crafting each pie the old-school way.
How do these pizzas get from Chicago to me?
Each Rupiani’s® pizza is individually vacuum-sealed and packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
Those boxes are then placed inside an insulated cooler with carefully measured dry ice to keep everything frozen during transit.
When your order arrives, your pizzas will be frozen or cold to the touch. Simply place them in the freezer or follow the baking
instructions for the perfect deep dish experience.
What’s the deal with the dry ice?
Dry ice keeps your Rupiani’s® pizzas frozen during shipping.
Because dry ice is extremely cold, it should never be touched with bare hands. If you need to handle it, use gloves or a towel.
Once you remove your pizzas, simply leave the cooler in a well-ventilated area and allow any remaining dry ice to evaporate. Always keep dry ice away from children and pets.
How fast will my pizza arrive?
Rupiani’s® ships orders Monday through Thursday to ensure pizzas arrive frozen and fresh.
Most orders arrive 2–3 days after shipping, depending on your location.
You’ll receive tracking information as soon as your order leaves our kitchen so you can follow your pizza all the way to your doorstep.
What if my pizza arrives thawed?
Because Rupiani’s® ships frozen with dry ice, your pizzas should arrive frozen or very cold to the touch.
If the dry ice has fully evaporated during transit, that’s completely normal — it means it did its job keeping the pizzas cold.
As long as the pizzas are still cold when they arrive, they are perfectly safe to place in your freezer and enjoy later.
If your order ever arrives warm or compromised, simply contact our support team and we’ll make things right.
Is shipping really free?
Yes.
Every Rupiani’s® order includes free expedited shipping anywhere in the United States (excluding PO boxes).
Each shipment is packed in insulated coolers with dry ice so your pizzas arrive frozen and ready for your freezer or oven.
How big is each pizza?
Each Rupiani’s® stuffed deep dish pizza is approximately 10 inches in diameter and weighs over 2 pounds.
One pizza comfortably feeds 2–3 people, depending on appetite.
Because every Rupiani’s® pizza is handmade, slight variations in size or shape are completely normal.
Are Rupiani’s® pizzas fully cooked?
Rupiani’s® pizzas are par-cooked, meaning they are partially baked before shipping.
This ensures the ingredients are properly prepared while allowing you to finish baking the pizza at home so the crust becomes crisp and the cheese melts perfectly.
Simply follow the reheating instructions included with your order.
Can I customize toppings or ingredients?
To ensure every Rupiani’s® pizza delivers the authentic flavor experience we’re known for, we do not offer customization options.
Each recipe has been carefully crafted to deliver the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, crust, and toppings.
Why are Rupiani’s® pizzas more expensive than grocery store pizza?
Because Rupiani’s® isn’t grocery store pizza.
Every Rupiani’s® pie is handmade in Chicago using premium ingredients, packed in insulated coolers with dry ice, and shipped across the country with expedited delivery.
What you’re getting isn’t frozen pizza — it’s an authentic Chicago deep dish experience shipped directly to your door.
Once you taste Rupiani’s®, the difference becomes obvious.
What if I try Rupiani’s® and don’t love it?
We stand behind every pizza we ship.
If your order arrives damaged or something isn’t right, our team will gladly replace it.
While taste is subjective, we’ve found that once customers experience Rupiani’s® bold tomato sauce, buttery crust, and authentic Chicago structure, they quickly understand why it has developed such a loyal following.
Our goal is simple: ship the best Chicago deep dish experience possible — right to your doorstep.
What happens if something goes wrong with my order?
Your satisfaction with Rupiani’s® is extremely important to us.
If your order arrives damaged or contains the wrong items, contact support we’ll gladly replace it.
Because of food safety regulations, we cannot accept returns once food products have shipped, but our satisfaction guarantee ensures we’ll always make things right.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Because Rupiani’s® pizzas ship frozen on dry ice, we currently ship only within the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Do you offer gluten-free pizzas?
No. Rupiani’s® pizzas are not gluten-free.
For detailed ingredient and nutrition information, please review the nutrition section on each product page or contact our customer support team.
How long do Rupiani’s® pizzas last in the freezer?
Rupiani’s® pizzas remain fresh for up to 1 year when kept frozen.
Once thawed or refrigerated, we recommend enjoying your pizza within 36 hours for the best flavor and quality.
Where can I find the baking instructions?
Every Rupiani’s® pizza box includes a QR code that opens our baking instructions instantly on your phone.
If you ever need them again, you can also access the reheating instructions anytime on the Rupiani’s® website.
