I just made this crust for a deep dish. I coated a 12” skillet in butter and worked parmesan all around. Best pizza crust ever.

Thank you for making the PROPER sauce for Chicago Deep Dish. It should be chunky, with a bright and tangy flavor to it. You did it the right way.

I would personally add fresh basil, very light fennel, fresh minced garlic too it but that's just me. Fresh herbs can add a nice pop. Good to have a few handy if possible, even kitchen window grown is better than most dried.

This recipe was lights out! Aced it on first attempt. I was worried how much moisture the cheese created, but the dough most definitely held up and it's texture was sensational. Thank you for this amazing technique!

Ohmigosh. I love this pizza. Ever since the pandemic started I've been baking breads and pizza dough, but never anything like this. I loved everything about this pizza. Thank you for breaking the recipe down and making it easy to follow. This recipe is going into the regular rotation. :)

Started my journey to make this about 4 hours ago. Crust is sturdy yet flaky. I used spinach and my homemade Italian sausage. Great pie! I’m from Chicago so I’m of course enjoying a slice with a glass of RC. Thanks for the recipe!!

Made this after struggling to nail a deep dish recipe for a long time. It turned out great - thanks for helping me!

Ive watched and downloaded what feels like a million videos on making Chicago deep deep pizza. Many had great content. Your video was also great. You edged out the rest with a very concise content filled video.

I live by your Tavern Style video. Can't wait to try this one. I have been using actual anchovies instead of fish sauce and I love it

Looks amazing. looking forward to try it. Thanks

Made this recipe twice before and it’s fantastic. One was a veggie version and it was really watery. Going to try it tonight with veggie meatballs along with 2 more stock sausage pies for the family. It’s worth the kitchen hump 😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This came out amazing, the second time I made it. 2 grams of oregano in the sauce is over 2 tablespoons, i halved it second time around. The thickness of sausage layer you recommend was still raw after 30 minutes of cooking. I checked quite a few other recipes and they recommend pre-cooking the sausage. I did that and it came out amazing. The olive oil dough is so easy to work with. Love the tip on the Parmesan crust.

Broooo it’s beautiful

I had the hankering for a Chicago style pizza yesterday but there isn’t any pizza place near me that does them. Hit the Googles and didn’t like any recipes there. Came to the KZreads and eventually found this one. It is dead simple and turned out really well. Only issue I had is my imperialistic mind trying to convert the metric measurements without a scale. Ended up needing to add a little more oil and warm water to the dough as it mixed but in the end, fantastic pizza pie. Well done.

What would happen if I use regular pizza dough?

So i made it tonight. It was excellent. I don't live in Chicagoland but pretty close (about 4 hours south). I've had many of chicago deep dish pizza in my life. Lou Malnati's, Unos, Giordano's, Ginos East, Nancys. The one that stands out that i did not like is Ginos. Way too much cornmeal in the crust for me. All the others i really like. Luckily in the last few years we have got Nancy's locally (to me it taste just like Giordanos). So anyways i thought it was excellent. I cooked it 35 minutes and it was perfect. I think it would have been overdone at 40. The only few minor modifications I made was to not use san marzano tomatoes (a snow storm was coming in and there is only one place in my town that sells them that i know of) and i didn't use the homemade sausage mixture. I instead just sliced sweet italian sausage in place. I have attempted to make chicago pizza before it was a mess. Thanks for putting up this video. I think next time i will try without the cornmeal to see what i prefer. Any chance you will put up a video on chicago tavern style think pizza? Honestly i've never tried it because every time i've been in chicago i've always wanted the deep dish pizza. We do have a local pizza that seems similar (really thin and cut into squares) but since i've never tried to chicago variety i can't tell you how close it is.

I would say probably not. It sounds like the pie crust would be too rigid and crack. This dough is tough enough to hold up to all the sauce and cheese.

That looks better than Giordano’s! Have you tried or made Detroit style pizza yet?

Man I need more detail, how long can it rest before I use it. Can it wait several hours as in make it, rest it at from 12N 5:27 then make beautiful pizza at 5:00ish? I can’t wait to taste even if I ruined it with the rest! 🎉

Bro-binski, love your style love your way and will proceed accordingly.... next time 'round. Why? Because this scatter shot guy already formed the dough. But for NY style thin crust however, I needed to kneaded the dough prolly a bit more. What the phock 'twas me first time ever attempting this. This a.m. I pie'd up a dough ball for my lady friend aka wife and had some trouble on the transfer from surface to stone, needless to say I likely ruined the stone because holes in crust, sealed cheese and sauce who cares. I will, in spite of our doughy differences go Chicago style in my cast iron even though no cornmeal in muh dough and prolly more h20 than you. Anyways, new subscriber here. Ps I'm factually known as the "wonton guy" Peace & Chicken Grease. Regards, Mike Badger, E.L.Wonton Los Angeles California

Can you do the ingredients in spoons or cups?

People don't argue if grandma pie or detroit style is pizza. Yet both have thick crust, then cheese and sauce on top. Why question deep dish?

Well, we gave this a shot last night. Wanted to make 2 pies, so I doubled the recipe. The taste of the crust was the best thing about the pizza…but it really wasn’t enough to go all the way up the sides of the pan. I really think it wasn’t enough dough for a 12” cast iron skillet. Next time I’m going to triple the recipe and I think that should do. Ideally I’d like the full height of the side of the pan to be covered. I’m not gonna buy two 10” pans. I used another guy’s sauce and I think doubling that was a mistake. It way way over-seasoned. Also, it was short of being enough for 2 pies. The pizzas were really soupy and we ended up having to wait a good 15-20 mins coming out of the over got things to solidify a bit. I think the sauce was too “liquid”. Next time I’ll go with the tomato method from this video. All, in all it was a ton of work for really disappointing results. But I feel like it’s a learning process and we learned some things, so that’s not bad.

I buttered the f out of the cast iron and the crust got stuckz. Any other tips?

@AdamWitt

Honestly, if theres enough fat, theoretically you should be fine. Maybe try adding a bit more corn meal, too. Just let it cool a bit then use an offset spatula to get under the crust and lift it, making sure to press the spatula to the pan as you scrape the entire time - don't dig into the za. Just keep practicing!
