Chicago’s WEIRDEST Pizza Style & Recipe (NOT Deep Dish)

I traveled to Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Company to try their prized menu item from the source, the Pizza Pot Pie. This famous pizza creation took social media by storm over the past decade or so for good reason. The gooey, pizza-like creation is extremely photogenic sure, but it’s also wildly delicious. If you love a pot pie AND don’t mind it tasting like pizza, then this recipe is for you. I hope you dig it! 🤘🏼 Adam

________________________________________________________
Pizza Pot Pie Dough:
480g Bread Flour (4 cups)
288g Room-temperature Water (1 ¾ cup)
6g Salt (2 tsp)
5g Sugar (1 tsp)
5g Instant Yeast (2 tsp)
Olive Oil, as needed
To a mixing bowl stir together the water, salt, sugar and yeast. Add all the flour on top and mix by hand until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rest for 25 minutes.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead on a clean work surface until relatively smooth, it’s okay if it’s not perfect. Transfer the dough to an oiled container, cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.
Pizza Pot Pie Sauce:
1 pound Hot or Mild Italian Sausage, ground
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
½ Yellow Onion, diced
28 ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
2 tsp Dried Oregano
½ tsp Red Chili Flake, more to taste
1 tsp Fish Sauce, more to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Kosher Salt, to taste
To a large saucepan over high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and all the Italian sausage with a pinch of salt. Break the sausage up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned.
Lower the heat to medium and add in the garlic, onion, green pepper and a pinch of salt. Cook until the veggies have released most of their water, about 5 minutes.
Add in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, chili flake, fish sauce, a few cracks of black pepper and small pinch of salt. Stir everything together then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Allow the sauce to cool for 10-15 minutes.
To Build and Bake:
1 recipe for Pizza Pot Pie Dough (see above)
1 recipe for Pizza Pot Pie Sauce (see above)
½ pound Wisconsin Brick Cheese, sliced medium thick
3 Whole Cremini Mushrooms, stem removed
Melted Butter, as needed
Cooking Spray, as needed
Preheat the oven to 375F (190c) with the oven rack situated in the center.
Spray the inside of an oven-proof bowl with cooking spray. Lay in the slices of cheese, scoop in some sauce then press the uncooked mushrooms into the sauce.
Shape a piece of dough by hand into a disc about ½-⅓ inch thick lay it on the top of the bowl. Press the dough onto the bowl so it goes down 2-3 inches of the bowl.
Put the prepared pizza pot pie on a sheet tray then bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is just cooked through and still quite pale.
Remove the pizza pot pie from the oven and immediately brush it with melted butter. Allow the pizza to cool for 3-5 minutes.
Carefully, using heat-proof gloves, invert the pizza onto a plate, remove it by loosening the crust from the bowl with a spoon (see video) and reveal your gorgeously gooey creation. Feel free to eat this by hand, but it’s a good idea to reach for the fork and knife for this one.

    I was born and raised in Chicago, now residing in Las Vegas, and I always regret that I didn't get a chance to visit a lot of the amazing restaurants back home. The Chicago food scene is god-tier.

    Why have soup in a bread bowl when you can have pizza in a bread bowl?!

    For all that want to go there get there early and most importantly CASH ONLY. How this place hasn't been hit is amazing.

    Another great video! But I’m still mad at you for using canned Skyline Chili in your regional hotdog video. Cincinnati deserves better. We have so little.

    oven grinders is honestly such a fantastic restaurant. The pizza bowl is good, but honestly having went there over 20 times I gotta say the sandwiches and mediterranean bread are what keep me going back once or twice a year.

    As a Chicagoan living in AZ- I crave this often! So glad to see you recreate this, their Mediterranean bread is a sleeper though, a MUST have accompaniment!
