Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

[@beardswagbbq]

I am in love with the Detroit style pizza you shared on another video, I have to say it is mine and everyone else's favorite too. I will have to try this out as well. You are correct with saying the pizza oven attachment brings a great element to knocking pizzas out of the park. Thank you for the amazing videos ✌🏽

[@mattvangampler7508]

Born and raised in Chicago. Now living in Alaska. This pizza makes me REALLY crave it! Nice cook!

[@allthingsbbq]

Hey Matt, this one's for you, you should make it and share with your friends in Alaska. Thanks for watching!

So, I’m a little late to the party because I’m just messaging now. But, this recipe was a hit! I must admit I was skeptical whether the dough would turn out because of how soft it was (and you warned us about it) but it turned out to be a masterpiece. Thank you from Canada.

[@MrFrankwizzal]

From Chicago. You're pretty dead on. I'm down to try this. Everyone has their pie of choice. But I'm glad to see others doing their version or twist on food. It's a beautiful thing that brings us together. Good to see the deep dish making its way around to other folks. Cheers 🍻

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks Frank. Taking on a "Chicago" style pizza is a bit white knuckling, as you are entering sacred territory. Our team really appreciates your encouragement! Thanks for being part of our community!

Chicago native (now in PNW) who grew up with Uno's, Due's and Lou Malnati's. Corn meal is, indeed, essential for this type of pizza. Got into a KZbin scuffle a while back with people claiming they worked at Malnati's, who said no corn meal is used. I'm not buying that, and besides, Lou was dead long before they were born. Nice job, you nailed it.

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks Phil! Always great to hear from someone who grew up in the tradition and can speak to it from experience. We appreciate the insights and thank you for watching! Chicago Tavern Style Pizza drops on Friday.

[@philmann3476]

@@allthingsbbq My pleasure, and another thing you got right is don't make the crust too thick. This is "deep dish" pizza, not "thick crust." (There is a difference.) Good job.

[@lolajoker]

Actually corn meal is NOT used in any of the.main deep dish spots in Chicago. Not at Uno/Due. Not at Malnati’s Bert’s or Pequads. They use corn oil but no corn meal. Corn meal got in the mix when a TV chef used it in trying to replicate Chicago deep dish.

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

Good lord that looks amazing! I got to go to Chicago a few years ago for the first time to see my son graduate from boot camp and one of the places I was recommended to go try was Giordano's Pizza. It was weird to see a pizza like that but holy cow, it was DELICIOUS! Probably one of the best pizzas I've eaten in my life. Sadly now, I'm low carb because of health issues but maybe I can come up with casserole type replica of this because I LOVVVVVE pizza so much! Excellent video as always. So glad I happened upon your channel!

[@allthingsbbq]

Low carb and pizza ... that's a challenge, maybe give a Cauliflower crust a try? Thanks for your comments and thank you for being part of our community!

Hi Chef Tom. Is so good to see you inspiring us for another tasteful summer bbq. Yodler 1500 pizza oven being manufactured hopefully soon. Thank you Tom for inspiring us all.

[@allthingsbbq]

Thank you so much, yes, the WFO for the 1500 will be available early summer! We'll introduce it on the channel as soon as it is available. Thanks for watching!

[@lucabaldi1970]

As an Italian, it always amazes me how much garlic you put in the sauce (and in everything, to be fair). Two full gloves for a can of tomatoes is insane. tbh...

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for being honest. 2 cloves in a 28-oz can certainly isn't garlic forward. However, we would encourage you to adjust the ingredients to your personal preferences. Chicago Deep Dish is a major departure from Neapolitan style pizza, we hope that you will try this recipe for yourself. As always, thanks so much for watching!

[@hungrydad7537]

That looks pretty good I did this a couple years ago on my Green Mountain grills and like that because you get the nice smoky flavor and can still Get nice Browning on top!

[@CharlesHopkins]

Instead of using oil and then dropping your crust into the pan for a Chicago Deep Dish, what I've seen a lot of Chicago area pizza places do is to butter the DD pan and then pour grated Parmesan Romano cheese in the pan. Then, roll the the parmesan cheese in the pan making sure that the Parmesan cheese coats and clings to the sides where the crust will come up to. It forms an exquisite golden crust that adds a lot of flavor to the pizza.

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for the great tip, and thanks for watching!

[@AlanEyerly]

Do have to have a food processor to mix the dough or can you use a kitchenaid mixer?

[@allthingsbbq]

You can use your stand mixer. Thanks for watching!

Please teach me how to make non rubbery chicken!

[@allthingsbbq]

The key to avoiding rubbery chicken skin is high heat and/or direct flame. It's hard to render chicken skin at smoking temperatures. You can still smoke chicken, just start or finish over high heat (400+). Also, here's a really fun technique that's great for crispy chicken thighs: www.atbbq.com/thesauce/recipes/crispy-chicken-veggie-teriyaki/. Thanks for watching!

I live in the Chicago land area, looks great but, it’s kinda a thin deep dish. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ 👍🏻👍🏻🍕🍕

[@allthingsbbq]

The taste testers loved this one :)! The thickness of the crust and the depth of the filling cooked perfectly together. The crust had amazing texture and flavor and of course, the filling was classic Chicago. We hope you will cook this recipe for your family and friends. Thanks for your comments and of course, thanks for watching!

[@daddymoon666]

I made a few of these a whiles back... I fermented the dough for 24 hours and treated the dough like focaccia bread... Oh My God, it was amazing... I also added some tricks to make that crust taste even better with slightly crunchy crust... These deep dish style pizzas are like sponges for flavor...

[@robweiss6060]

... "tricks to make that crust taste even better with slightly crunchy crust"? SHARE SHARE !! :D

[@allthingsbbq]

As one of the "taste testers :)," one of the great elements of this pizza was the crust. Sturdy, F-L-A-V-O-R-F-U-L, and flaky. The crust alone was worth the price of a slice, and the filling didn't disappoint either. No doubt you are a baker, we encourage you to try this as presented.

So, several pizza places in Chicago actually make a pizza sized patty of sausage that goes on top of the cheese. And your pizza looks great, but not nearly thick enough.

A chef would know not to put sugar in San Manzano tomatoes. And give us a break with the hot water and yeast. Why use active dry yeast especially Caputo which is super expensive and only last a couple of months. I suggest you get IDY packets and there is no need to bloom it. Now a chef should know that.
