Redemption currently offers the only authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza for miles. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, hot deep-dish deliverance is available at Redemption BBQ & Market by advance order only. These pizzas take about an hour to make so be sure to order ahead by calling the shop. There are a few tables for dining in or you can take one to go. They also offer frozen pizzas you can take and bake at home. A 9’ pizza yields 4 hefty slices. The open secret Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza offering started as a love letter to Vest’s wife, Anna, a native of Chicago. They lived together in Chicago for 16 years before moving back to Virginia and starting a food truck....
