Authentic Chicagoan Pepperoni

Stuffed deep dish pizza is a variant of deep dish pizza. Our version of this Chicago specialty features the pizza ingredients "stuffed" beneath a generous layer of our house-made tomato sauce.

The home of Chicago's finest stuffed deep dish pizza, our pies are what most people imagine when they think of deep-dish, packed with 1/2 pound of Wisconsin mozzarella cheese. At Rupiani’s, this isn’t just pizza—it’s a deep-dish experience. Thick, cheesy, and unapologetically Chicago.

Absolutely. Every Rupiani’s stuffed deep dish pizza is 100% handmade right in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. We don’t do molds, machines, or assembly lines—just skilled hands crafting each pie with care.

So if your pizza isn’t a perfect circle, that’s a badge of authenticity, not a flaw. Those little imperfections are what make each Rupiani’s pizza truly one of a kind—crafted the old-school way, and loved by Chicago’s finest.

Each Rupiani’s pizza is individually vacuum-sealed and packed in a sturdy cardboard box. These boxes are then carefully stacked inside an insulated cooler filled with just the right amount of dry ice to keep your pizzas fresh for up to 3 days in transit.

When your order arrives, you might see some dry ice left—or maybe none at all. That’s totally normal! Dry ice sublimates (turns into gas) during shipping, but rest assured, your pizza will still be frozen or cold to the touch (40°F or below).

Once your pizza arrives, take it out of the shipping box and pop it in the freezer right away—or follow our easy reheating instructions for the perfect slice.

Dry ice is extremely cold—never touch it with bare hands. Use gloves or a towel to handle it safely and avoid burns.

Once your pizzas are out, place the cooler with any remaining dry ice in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children and pets, and let it fully evaporate. After it’s gone, simply discard the empty dry ice bags.

Because our pizzas ship frozen on dry ice, we currently only ship within the U.S.—including Alaska and Hawaii. We offer free expedited shipping nationwide, so no matter where you are in the States, delicious Rupiani’s pizza is just a few days away!

Yes! Every Rupiani’s order ships free and fast with expedited delivery to any U.S. address—excluding PO boxes. It’s just one more way we deliver the best service (and pizza) in the industry.

We ship orders Monday through Thursday to ensure your frozen pizzas arrive fresh and perfectly chilled. We don’t ship on Fridays or weekends because of dry ice safety and the perishable nature of our product.

All orders include free expedited shipping with plenty of dry ice to keep your pizza cold. Most orders arrive within 3–5 business days after you place them.

While we do our best to deliver on time, occasional delays can happen due to weather or other factors. Thanks for your understanding!

Each Rupiani’s stuffed deep dish pizza is roughly 10 inches in diameter, weighs over 2 pounds, and comfortably serves 2 to 3 hungry people (or more, if you’re sharing!).

Because every pizza is 100% handmade by skilled Chicago artisans, slight size variations are normal—expect about ±1 inch in diameter. That just means each pie is uniquely crafted with care.

At Rupiani’s, your satisfaction is our top priority. If your order arrives damaged or contains the wrong items, we’ll gladly replace it—no questions asked.

Because of food safety rules, we can’t accept returns or exchanges after shipping, but our Unconditional Guarantee ensures you’re covered. If you need help, just reach out—we’re here for you.

Absolutely! Rupiani’s pizzas make an unforgettable gift any time of year. Just add your items to the cart and include an optional gift message—it’ll be printed on the packing slip.

And don’t worry—we never include prices in the box, so your gift stays a delicious surprise.

We get it—“expensive” is all about perspective. Consider the cost of traveling, parking, dining out, and tipping—it adds up fast.

Each Rupiani’s pizza stays fresh for up to 1 year (365 days) when kept frozen. Once thawed or refrigerated, please enjoy it within 36 hours for the best taste and safety.

Rupiani’s pizzas are par-cooked, meaning they’re partially cooked before shipping. This ensures the ingredients are prepped but the pizza isn’t ready to eat until you fully cook it at home.

Be sure to follow our easy reheating instructions closely for the best taste and authentic deep dish experience.
