"Can't decide whether you want to make a pizza or a classic casserole tonight? Well, then, deep dish, Chicago-style pizza may be your best option. This is not the flat, thin-crusted pizza you order from Domino's Pizza or snag a frozen version of from your grocery store. Chicago-style deep dish pizza has layers upon layers of cheese and toppings, necessitating the use of a fork and knife to get through a slice."
"You may assume that the pizza-making tools you already have in your kitchen will work fine for a deep dish pizza. But if you're planning on using a standard, lightweight aluminum pan for this type of pizza, then you may want to rethink that. These are not the best pans to use if you want your deep dish pizza to truly shine."
Chicago-style deep dish pizza is a tall, layered pie that combines thick crust with multiple layers of cheese and toppings, requiring a fork and knife to eat. The style differs from flat, thin-crusted pizzas and frozen supermarket varieties. Deep dish can be prepared at home, but proper technique and equipment matter to achieve consistent results. Using lightweight aluminum pans reduces heat retention and undermines crust quality. Better options include black anodized steel pans or heavy 14-gauge pre-seasoned Tuff-Kote aluminum for improved heat retention and baking performance. Avoiding common mistakes in construction helps produce a restaurant-quality pie without traveling to Chicago.
