Really Enjoyed this, thinking I should lower the rack in the oven to ensure crisping up the crust.

    What differentiates Chicago tavern versus tavern that was started not in Chicago?

  2. I live in central Illinois, that looks basically perfect imo. I would eat that whole thing

    The top looks fabulous but that bottom definitely needs more color. At the restaurant I work at where we make this kind of pizza, the chef really believes in leaving tavern-style pizzas in the oven until the bottom has “leopard spots” of char. They make for a pretty awesome pizza and add to the crispness. I think it’s what your pizza may need too!

    Your idea of getting the pizza even closer to the heating element is a great start. Just wondering, what temp have you got your oven at? I’m thinking maybe it needs to get bumped up, if that’s possible.

    I think I see cornmeal. Are you cooking on a pan, screen, or a stone/steel?

    Anyone used a pizza steel instead of a stone? is it worth it?
