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

That's a nice looking casserole.

    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.

    That looks killer to me. Love a good deep dish pie.

    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?

    It's a QUICHE. Quichza? Pronounced like key-tch-zah.

    I would say a quiche /ˈkiːʃ/ requires eggs whereas a tart doesn't (necessarily), and I have no idea what a key-tch-zah is, we don't have them in the UK. A quiche is a type of tart though, yes.

    You can call anything a pizza if you want. It becomes a useful term if it's commonly understood by your audience.

    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.

    I feel like I’d have to put at least some Parmesan on top.

    Also, squib!

    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.

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

    Edit: I knew this was gonna be downvoted. Pro tip, if you downvote this it just proves you're uncultured BECAUSE THE CHEESE IS UNDER THE FUCKING SAUCE

    Edit: Your to you're because autocorrect exists

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

    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.
