Kenji's tavern style dough recipe as a baseline, but did not cure. Just rolled and baked, which I've found works best.
Cheese was a blend of part skim mozzarella, and whole milk mozzarella.
Sausage was mild Italian sausage from Aldi, which was surprisingly perfect.
Baked in a 500 degree oven, 10 minutes for the cheese, 12 minutes for the sausage.

Looks good
Dang
Looks great. Using a pan or stone?
That’s a good looking pie
Yep that fucks
I tried his cure and wasn’t a fan. I’ll have to try this without it. Yours looks great!
As a fellow Chicagoan South Sider and home pizza maker, that pie looks solid and familiar.
Curing makes the difference in this recipe. It’s fine without but then it’s just kind of a thin crust, not a tavern.

I agree. I don’t like curing. It makes an almost tortilla like texture that I don’t love. It is foolproof for getting crisp though.
Looks fantastic
That looks really good!
Cure the dough? Anyways, depending on the temperature I’d eat that in 8 minutes. Good job. I’ll take 2
I prefer the Kenji dough rolled and baked not dried out.i also dig on the Chicago thin, prefer it to most other pizzas.
Do you shred the cheese yourself?
Mm. I’ll allow it.
Amazing! Looks perfect.
Do you pre cook the sausage?
I’m Impressed. Looks like real parlor pizza. Chicago thin with sausage and garlic is my favorite.
Looks incredible. I wasn’t huge on thin crust, and had no idea about tavern style, til I moved to WI and my Chicago friends showed me the light. Consider me a prophet now.
Love that style… great job 🥇
I’m not a fan of sausage on pizza but I would destroy that. Well made!
Looks great!
Reminds me of various bar pizzas I’ve had across Illinois growing up. We can’t get cracker thin like this in Dallas which is why I’ve resulted to making my own. Yours looks spot on.
Looks fantastic.
The REAL Chicago style pizza. Looks delicious.
That looks amazingly tasty.
Thats looking good
Absolutely gorgeous.
That thin crust is literally perfection bro
Damn, how much pizza is Chicago claiming? Both the big thick shit and now thin too?
Beautiful
Wow. Would it be too much to ask for a video of how you made that? Looks incredible.
Damn……………………serve and respect.
