How Does Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza | Cookin' Somethin' w/ Matty Matheson Work?

Chicago-style deep dish pizza is like a casserole and a pie had a baby, it's thick, cheesy, and full of flavor.

Imagine you're building a layer cake, but instead of frosting, you use cheese and sauce. The crust is like the bottom layer, super thick and sturdy. Then comes the sauce, think of it like tomato soup poured over the crust. Next, you add cheese, not just a little bit, but a lot, like when you eat cheese sticks for breakfast. Finally, you top it with pepperoni or whatever toppings you love.

Now imagine this whole thing goes into a super-hot oven, like the kind that makes your cookies go from dough to golden-brown in no time. The heat works its way through all those layers, making the cheese bubbly and the crust crispy on the outside but soft inside.

That’s how Chicago-style deep dish pizza is made, it's like a warm hug in a plate!
