Tried our hand at making deep dish pizza for new years. Turned out quite good but I’m no expert so I can’t say how accurate it was. I am told the toppings are supposed to all go under the sauce but I couldn’t resist putting some pepperoni on top

    I was about to get really fucking angry about why there are cucumbers slices on a pizza and then I remembered I need to put on my glasses.

    Looks great, but the pepperoni should be inside the pie, not on top.

    Also, Jon Stewart is wrong in that Daily Show video and doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about - Chicago deep dish pizza doesn’t have cold sauce on it, and he’s a moron for suggesting it does.

      My guess is that he’s too rich to ever go to a restaurant so it’s cold by the time he gets it

      I actually talked my friends out of ordering deep dish last night for that very reason lol

        May or may not be from the area (ahem), but I’ll say this: if you’re not getting it straight from the oven, then what’s the point? Delivered Chicago-style is only slightly more appetizing than delivered lasagna, NGL.

        OP’s pie, however, looks damn tasty. The pepperoni on top are just as garnish anyhow. 🤗

    No judgement but here in the UK this is more like what we’d call a flan than a pizza or a pie. So instead of arguing about pizzas and pies, why not embrace a third category?

    The only part I don’t like about Chicago deep dish pizza is you have to Chicago deep throat it to eat it.

    Looks like you nailed it. Yeah, pepperoni on inside and they wont get torched. If you must put toppings on top, maybe put them on at the end and put it under the broiler for a bit? Either way it looks dank. Would chonch on this.

      The pepperoni was pretty thick and we had no issues with them burning or anything. There was smoke but only because the springform pan dribbled oil into the bottom of the oven. We did one in springform and another in cast iron, both squeezed into the oven at the same time and they both came out identical except I liked the vertical walls from the springform pan better.

    The only wrong place for pepperoni is unused, and put back in the fridge.

    Thanks for doing your part to stand up against pizza gate-keeping!

    Absofuckinglutely no pun intended.

    A bunch of people discussing the semantics of what to call it, while I just want to call it delicious.

    Where’s the cheese? There’s no fuckin cheese?

    Edit: Your to you’re because autocorrect exists

    My mother is from Long Island, so I was raised to abhor anything that was not New York style pizza. Then my wife asked me to take her out for Chicago style pizza. I now make Chicago style far more than anything else.

    Did you do yours in cast iron?

      The one in the picture was done in a springform pan but we also did one in a cast iron pan at the same time. They both came out exactly the same except for how vertical the walls were. Also the springform pan leaked some oil so the oven got all smokey. Would definitely recommend putting the springform pan in a baking tray, we just didn’t have room to do that with the other pan in there.

    Not a Pizza. Period.

    Might as well start calling a boat a ship. Or Pluto a planet.

    We have words for things people, and it would make life easier if we just used the correct ones.

        Aren’t ordinary “flat” pizzas also sometimes called “pizza pies”? Also seems incorrect.

            Mmmyyyeeeeh. Wikipedia page for Pie says otherwise from what I can see? It needs to have some sort of filling, and the crust needs to be a type of casing, whether a cover/top casing or bottom casing, or both. The only mention of pizza that I can see is a link to the page for Chicago style pizza like here, as well as calzone, which both seem to fit the definition of a pie as described.

            I’ll stretch to concede that this style of pizza is both a bastardized pizza and a pie, by modern/conventional standard. But not all pizzas are pies. Good compromise.
