This was the best tasting deep dish I ever made at home. Everything homemade in a 14” cast iron skillet. It’s hard to get it to slide out without breaking parts of the pizza.

Bottom was cheese, next layer was sweet Italian sausage and top was a homemade sauce with grated Romano cheese off the block.

Suggestions on how to minimize breaking it while getting it out of the skillet is appreciated!

    That looks awesome! Nice work! I have a Breadman PZ200 Ginos East of Chicago 12″ Deep Dish Electric Pizza Oven, but I have the same issue getting it out without breaking it. The last time I used a large pizza spatula and another normal spatula to lift the pizza so I could slide the bigger one underneath and lift it without breaking it. It worked but it wasn’t easy…

    I really like deep dish, but it’s not what I want when I crave pizza. Deep dish has its own craving

    Pizza is love, and deep dish is valid.

    That being said, IMO that crust should be more buttery/oiled up and seasoned or something–get some oregano or garlic butter on it. Doesn’t look too bad, but dough seems a tad crumbly/cracker-like.

    A little more burn, ensure resting time, & I really do believe the crust is too naked in general! would still ask for a slice, obviously 😀

    If I was, it wouldn’t be that one

    If the crust is breaking, it needs more time in the oven..

    that’s just a cheesy tomato pie at this point though, not Pizza imo.

  11. Yes! Every time I go to Chicago I make sure to grab a pie or two 😮‍💨!!

  12. I like pizza, so yeah I absolutely like deep dish. Bread, cheese, sauce, other stuff if you want, I mean it really doesn’t get better than that
