As someone who worked in a Chicago pizza place for 17 years, the only thing you could have done differently is using butter instead of oil before putting the dough in the pan. It gives the crust a more golden brown as opposed to the nearly charcoal black you got. Plus, it adds some extra flavor.

Worked at a Chicago pizza place when I was younger and they always used butter to grease the pans for deep dish. They also let the dough rise in the pan. They would put 4 pans on a tray with dough in them, put the tray in a huge bag and seal it. I don’t know if it makes it better, worse or the same but I just noticed babish did it differently.

I think you should do seven fishes from the bear

Working at Pequods for 4 years I can make a few edits, it is indeed a cast iron pan that is used, a vegetable oil mix is used to brush the pans before laying dough on in. Also the dough needs to be pressed up against the side of the pan before the cheese is layered. The dough is actually made with cornmeal, so that’s probably why he had trouble getting the consistency right. Also the tomato sauce comes from giant cans of rough chopped peeled tomatoes(seasoned though), but IT IS NOT FROM FRESH TOMATO! Yet you should not see Basil in the sauce it is so finely chopped you almost don’t notice, it’s supposed to be on the acidic side.

Yes, like most pizzerias in the US Pequod's uses canned tomatoes from Stanislaus in Modesto CA, Pequod's uses the 6 pound can of Full Red crushed tomatoes from Stanislaus. Thin crust pizzerias will use the 6 pound can of Stanislaus pizza sauce. Rick Malnati of Lou Malnati's said their tomatoes are canned in California, now what company in California has a facility to provide such a large quantity? Stanislaus! Lou Malnati's has their own label put on the cans because in the past I've seen the 6 pound cans of tomatoes for sale at their restaurant carry out order counter. I've never worked at a Pequod's, however, I saw a video from WGN TV where they were in the Pequod's kitchen and I saw the can of tomatoes that they were using. After they opened about ten 6 pound cans of Stanislaus crushed tomatoes they would add about 1/4 cup of dry oregano and 1/4 cup of fine chopped basil on top of each can, next they would pour the contents of the cans into a large mixer, then transfer the sauce into five gallon buckets.

This episode of The Bear (I've watched it a few times) makes me tear up just THINKING about it. Specifically the GMs instruction to pick up the check for the retired teachers. Such a brilliant show. "I can do respect" is such a great line.

Not sure I've ever seen a New Yorker treat Chicago-style pizza with so much respect!

Peqoud's is pan pizza technically, and pan pizza is from Detroit.

"Forks" is by far my favorite episode of The Bear. I relate so heavily to Richie and seeing him finally find a purpose in life is so heartwarming.

Seasoning shouldn't be "tacky", that's usually the texture associated with oil that failed to get hot enough to fully polymerize - if your finger doesn't glide on it, things will stick to it. I've tried to season a wok before that doesn't fit in the oven on the stove instead, and it's very difficult to do evenly because the outer portion is tacky & not finished while the inner portion is burning off.

Only mistake is they don't use aluminum pans. They use blue steel. They also dust the pan with Pecorino Ramano cheese so that it caramalizes to the crust when baked.

I appreciate how much work you put in to make the deep-dish pizza perfect. Excellent video.

When I lived on my own, I did that with my aluminium cooking trays, only they were seasoned over time as I never washed them (I did wipe them after each use though). After about 6 months of pretty much daily use, they were covered in a very dark brown (nearly black) covering from all the oil and grease and were VERY nonstick.

I work just a few blocks away from Pequod’s Pizza. Never tried their deep dish, but their thin crust is out of this world! In fact, theirs was the first pizza I ever had with pineapple that I actually liked.

You deserve so much applause and praise for your dedication to the craft. Your level of research and production is nothing short of astonishing. Bravo!

This man’s dedication and problem solving is something I aspire to.

first of all, this was my favorite episode of The Bear yet. hands down. Second, however, it kills me that they used Pequod's. I grew up in MI and now live in Chicago and I feel like Pequod's is much closer to Detroit-style pizza with the fluffy crust, versus what I think of as Chicago Deep Dish which has a thinner crust that goes all the way up the sides of the pan and layers of cheese and sauce and toppings on the inside of the pie. Not just one layer of cheese and one layer of sauce. Giordano's does this, but I think places like Uno and Due are better (though I know that is SUPER contentious).

thank you Babish for showing this dish to us, you worked very hard for this

Pequads was a stable haunt in Chicago. It used to be just a pizza place that I loved that nobody know about. You could get in by walking up and seating yourself. Then at some point it got popular and you needed a reservation to get in.

Makes me want to re-watch The Bear, again.

Pretty sure Peqods double bakes their pizza. They do a rise bake, let it rest, and then a toppings bake after it's ordered. Part of that is to speed up the wait time but it might help with the rise firmness also.
