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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soup in a bread bowl, but delicious nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No canned onion rings on top?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (7 children)

People are gonna cry about it, but I think this looks delicious.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I thought it was eggplant but I'd eat it either way. Looks great!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it was blood pudding

Haven't clicked the link yet but I'm betting it's The Daily Show.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I have returned from my 1,000th lifetime watch of that video to say your instincts are indeed correct.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Hey buddy can a pal get the recipe?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not OP, but here’s one I’ve made that’s pretty close to Due’s/Lou Malnati’s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice. We used this recipe https://www.brianlagerstrom.com/recipes/chicago-deep-dish-2 though 10% semolina instead of straight AP flour

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ooh! I’ll have to give that one a shot. Thanks! Sucks being addicted to food you can’t get any other way that’s not “make it yourself”.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Going by primary ingredient I guess it would be like a tomato tart. Though the dough is yeasted so it probably doesn't fully match a lot of categories.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It matches the pizza category, don't let Margherita Berry over there hassle you.

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

I'm more of a pizza than that bloody flan! :P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I thought a flan has fillings that are eggy? I agree that this looks kinda unusual for pizza - although it also looks very tasty.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What's up squib-fellow :) We did sprinkle the cheap parmesan on top. We bought some real grated parm but it stayed in fridge too long and went mouldy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Naw. Downvoted for the improper use of "your" in the edit.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

That's a pie, not a pizza but it's probably very tasty

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't ordinary "flat" pizzas also sometimes called "pizza pies"? Also seems incorrect.
