"In 2012, Rance’s Chicago Pizza opened its doors in Costa Mesa as a love letter to Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. Today, the restaurant offers three types of pizza — Pan, which features a thick, buttery crust; Stuffed, which has a rich layer of tomato sauce on top with toppings underneath; and Tavern, which is a crunchy, square-cut pizza. Not only are the dough and sauce made fresh daily, the shop also makes its own dressings — and the ranch has been a particular hit among diners. Some of the most popular pies include Rance’s Favorite pan pizza, which comes with pork meatballs, bacon, and jalapenos, and the hefty Carnivore stuffed pizza, which is referred to as the meat lover’s pie." - Cathy Park
