Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

[elleng]

PLEASE!!!!

Chicago deep dish pizza is a hearty and indulgent dish that stands in contrast to the traditional thin-crust pizza. With its thick, buttery crust that’s baked in a high-sided pan, this pizza is more like a savory pie filled with layers of cheese, sauce, and your favorite toppings. The cheese is placed directly on the dough, followed by a rich tomato sauce and additional toppings, creating a satisfying bite in every slice. The slow-bake method ensures that the crust is golden and slightly crisp, while the inside remains gooey and flavorful. Perfect for a special occasion or a fun family night, Chicago deep dish is sure to please pizza lovers everywhere.

1. Leonardo's Pizza, Gainesville, Fl. Deep dish Chicago style pizza

It was amazing. They sold it by the slice and one was all you needed. I bought a cast iron frying pan just so I could try to recreate it. I cheat and get the dough at Aldi’s but I think I’ll try this next time. Thanks for posting!

Never dared trying to MAKE it!

I like Tavern style personally.

3. I also grew up in Chicago, Logan Square,

and I never heard of deep dish pizza until the 70s.
In fact, I didn't know the criss cross cut was tavern
style until recently.

5. I haven't made this in years ...

... but I live in the Chicago area, so that doesn't mean I haven't eaten it recently.

7. John Stewart's rant about Chicago pizza

A classic.
Not pizza. It's a casserole.
