There's a very unique connection between Austin and Chicago Stuffed pies too. Ike Sewell, a football star and graduate from the University of Texas at Austin in the 1920's, invented the Chicago Stuffed pizza while working at a Chicago pizzeria in 1943. Mangia brought Ike's idea back to his gridiron home of Austin and now the whole nation can enjoy his creation.
