Deep dish or thin ?

Yum!

I make something similar: pre-made pizza dough (12") from the local Dollar Tree ($1.00, of course), my own tomato sauce, pepperoni, different cheeses. Unfortunately don't have any olive oil right now, used veggie oil, not the same.

Still, it's edible, much more so than the pizza chain stuff.

Thanks for the video!

Ill have to ask my son where we had the deep dish pizza. He lives in Illinois but not Chicago and a couple years ago I watched my 3 grandsons while they had a getaway and as a thank you for doing that they took me to my fave city which is Chicago. We stayed at the Westin on Michigan Ave and walked to the pizza place...it was delicious.
I seldom eat pizza so even cardboard with some cheese melted on it would taste good to me. :)

My brother lives in New Haven, CT. And Ive also eaten at the place Radish Rose mentioned. It was also very good pizza.

Both these places were super crowded.

I like thin, spouse likes deep-dish. Neither of us likes excess tomato sauce. He's big on prosciutto; I prefer sliced fresh mozzarella to the commercial shreds.

Lethe200,
You're absolutely right about sliced mozz vs shredded-unless you shred your own. The bagged shreds are treated with something powdery to prevent them from "going back to the cheese" as it were, and stay separated. I don't know if it's bad for you, but it does inhibit taste somewhat.

My favorite Italian pizza place only uses "slabs" of mozzarella and it melts so nicely .
 
Have to have thin style and will only eat the toppings from a thick crust. My favorite is at an Italian restaurant, Portofino's, a few blocks from here, and if you have to pick it up, may as well eat there, and have a glass of Chianti with it. We did that just last night!:p
 
I will eat any kind, but I love thin. My favorite place is a shop called Angelos. Coal fired oven, not to be trendy,but because that's what they started with back in the day. Crust is newspaper thin with black soot marks on the bottom,paper thin onion slices, crumbled sausage and charred pepperoni. Rumor has it that they use the same mop to clean the oven that they do on the floors.
Ok with me if that is what imparts the flavor. Fold the slice and let the grease slide down your arm.
 
Thin because I make my own. I use the small wraps and load it with whatever I want and then pop in in the toaster oven.

I rarely buy it anymore because it's just too much unless I am only getting one slice. Our local grocery store sells two pieces for $3.00. It's good. Can't beat it and sometimes they even throw in a can of Pepsi.

Yes, and there's also a big difference between using really fresh mozzarella, packed in water and very perishable, vs the vacuum-wrapped block mozzarella. And now I'm hungry......!
 
I grew up eating deep dish tomato pie because that's what my grandma made, and it was always cut into squares. It was delicious. There was only one place I ate tomato pie besides at grandma's, and that was at a bar/restaurant called Romeo & Juliet's. My mom worked late on Fridays, and when she closed up shop, sometimes we'd have supper there. The tomato pie they made had a thin crust. There would usually be a few of us, and my Aunt Shirley, who didn't like tomato sauce, would order her special personal pie... no sauce, extra cheese, and roasted garlic. She sprinkled it liberally with black pepper before eating the whole thing. I say, eat your pizza any way you like it!

My preference is for a thin-crusted Classic Margarita pizza. I don't like a lot of bells and whistles on my pie. I like tomato sauce, fresh sliced tomatoes (in season), fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and a little fresh oregano. Simple. Although I wouldn't turn down any well-made pizza.

Traditional pizza style “Sfincione”, like my grandma used to make. ​

They both look wonderful! It was in my wedding vows in addition to the love, honor, cherish and do not order pizza more than three times a week LOL. Just in the last couple of years I have started to make my own pizza dough. I wanted something my grandson would enjoy doing together in the kitchen besides cookies and brownies. He loves to make his own pizza! Now I make dough and freeze it in individual servings and freeze. We can pull those out at anytime.
