I think it all came from NY anyway. A high school friend's mother used to
make a what she called deep dish sicilian style pizza. She is sicilian.

The buyer owned a chain of Italian restaurants and they had their own
'brand' of pizza. We found a Sicilian pizza restaurant closer to home.
They also made their own sausages, but their pizza wasn't as good.

Unfortunately around these parts of South Texas, it was settled by German
immigrants who didn't allow the Italians in. Don't know why because
Italian food is so much better than overcooked meat and potatoes with
sauerkraut. Maybe I'm just prejudice the food, as I had to eat those kind
of meals at home when growing up.

If you ever get to San Diego, there's a part of town called, what else;
Little Italy. There are at least 5 city blocks packed with Italian
restaurants all in the same area.
