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
A bunch of people discussing the semantics of what to call it, while I just want to call it delicious.
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?
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.
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.
You can call anything a pizza if you want. It becomes a useful term if it’s commonly understood by your audience.
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.
The pepperoni was pretty thick and we had no issues with them burning or anything. There was smoke but only because the springform pan dribbled oil into the bottom of the oven. We did one in springform and another in cast iron, both squeezed into the oven at the same time and they both came out identical except I liked the vertical walls from the springform pan better.
Not a Pizza. Period.
Might as well start calling a boat a ship. Or Pluto a planet.
We have words for things people, and it would make life easier if we just used the correct ones.
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. 🤗
