The construction is pretty easy....mozzarella, sausage, sauce, more mozzarella and parmesan.

Cheesy tomato pie. Not pizza.

Try to be less of an ass.

I'll think about it when you do the same.

I simply posted a recipe.

Uh huh.

Did you see anything other than that?

Humorless.

Hmm. I know there are people (strange ones at that) that prefer Chicago style to NY style. I'm totally biased in favor of NY. The recipe sounds delicious, but more like savory pie than what I consider to be classic pizza. I generally prefer Neapolitan to Sicilian but I think of pizza as something to be picked up and eaten in my hands, for this recipe, I would need a fork and knife.

Waiting for pepper's "bite me" pic

The mere fact that you mention two different pizzas, Neopolitan and Sicilian, posits for us that there can be three, four or more types.

Those with a poor grasp of logic won't understand the nuance.

I'm partial to Pizza Hut.

She mentions 2 types of pizza from Italy, where pizza was born. No Italian would acknowledge the monstrosity in your picture as pizza. It's a cheesy tomato pie, which is fine, and will be tasty. But it's not pizza.

Maybe Rf will allow you one of her chew toys.

Sometimes we make thicker pie but use a large cast iron pan not a cake pan. I think makes for better crust

I'm thinking about doing that. I think the pans used in the Chicago Restaurants are heavier than cake pans too.

I’ve only had Deep Dish Pizza once, in Chicago. I liked it overall, but it had too much sauce and seemed more like a casserole than a pizza. I would try it again. Most of the pizza up here is very thin crust brick oven pizza. An Italian market in Portland has Sicilian Slab pizza with very thick crust. That’s my favorite. High quality pizza is one of the few non-seafood dining choices of which we have an abundance.

I think getting the sauce amount right is the hardest part. When the thick crust Sicilian ones are good, they are very good.

When I was a kid and we were in Maine for the summer, there was no place to buy pizza on the island so my grandmother’s cook(a true Mainah) made “pizza” using Jiffy pizza crust mix(just add water!). It was god awful.

Looks like a cross between Norman Rockwell and Mad Magazine.

For many years and up until 2000 sometimes, Lombardi's had a place in Philly too.

Real pizza.

The dough was too elastic and couldn't be shaped against the wall. I did use the cast iron pan and a little left over for a large ramakin. I'm prebaking it for 10 mins.

The next time I make one I'll go flat Neopolitan.

My mom grew up in Hatboro, a suburb North of Philly. When she was growing up, there was no pizza in the area. When she was a teenager, she heard of something called 'tomato pie', which she thought sounded awful. How times have changed.
Her mom was a terrible cook-her tagline was 'well, I didn't like cooking it either'.

Might turn out OK. The crust actually felt like it might turn out more like a Sicilian thick crust.

We're waiting....

The pizza was fantastic but the crust was definitely more of a Sicilian style and would probably have been better just flat. But, if I did it that way, I wouldn't be able to get as much "filling" on it.

That looks like a delicious casserole! Would eat!
