I don't know about that. After all, Canadians invented Hawaiian Pizza.

How do they heat these up? Didn't they remove the ovens from domestic economy class galleys? Has the pricing been determined? What flight durations will get them?

I remember UA also serving some sort of deep dish pizza in C as an option for the pre-arrival meal on flights from LHR back in the 90's.

FWIW, Chris McGinnis at TravelSkills got this tidbit first--he had a post on it Thursday. I'm pretty excited about this myself, and based on how good the burger has been, I'm sure they can manage pizza.
I also see why they'd do deep dish, beyond the Chicago connection: You won't get the crispiest crust out of an aircraft galley, but with deep dish that's less critical to the results. And I'm sure Uno's can provide onboard 'za on a scale that, say, Giordano's can't.

i hate being the debbie downer here, and this is more fitting for the "least substantive" thread (we need to bring that thread back to its former glory).... but the amount of saturated fat in UNO pizza is egregious.
don't get me wrong - it's delicious! easily my favorite frozen pizza. but i do all i can to stay away.

In any case, if one of the varieties is garlic, all I can say is: Brilliant. What could be better than having dozens of pax in a metal can reeking of cheap garlic.

Oh, boy! I can't wait to sit next to someone eating a garlic pizza on an international flight. Heck, even on a domestic flight. Thanks, but no thanks. 
I'm becoming more and more convinced that the people who make these suggestions and decisions don't fly in economy very often. What in the world are they thinking?!?

They are certainly not going to put pizza ovens in the galley. Does anybody think this product will be remotely the same as what one gets in the restaurant? Pizza has been served often on airlines. It sucks.
As such, this will be basically just a "branding" with free advertizing for both companies. Same as all these "designer chief" deals.

But since they're deep dish, Uno's will be supervising, and they'll finish baking in the onboard oven, I'm confident they'll be far more edible than the frisbee-like pizzas one sometimes gets as an end-of-flight snack in TATL J.This sounds like a good choice with a solid Chicago pedigree.
