United Airlines will soon serve deep dish pizza in economy

Next month, United Airlines will start selling deep dish pizza in its economy cabins, a stark contrast to the generally light and healthy fare that is typically sold on-board. The pizza will come from Uno Pizzeria & Grill, one of the biggest names in deep dish pizza in Chicago. It will be offered among other cold and warm items in the paid snack cart. The airline is also planning to put together a "pizza and beer combo." United's new menu items come amidst a bit of an arms race of sorts among US carriers to provide the best catering across the entire air travel experience. On the premium end of that spectrum, the progress means better airport lounge food, exotic dishes in first class and even free meals in economy on some competitive transcontinental routes. <br/>
