Deep-Dish Pizza Recipe – Chicago-Style!

There’s no need to travel all the way to Chicago for an incredible deep-dish pizza recipe. Try this easy, detailed recipe with step-by-step directions for a thick and buttery, flaky crust and a rich, chunky tomato sauce, with plenty of gooey cheese.

If I was stuck on an island for the rest of my life and could only eat one dish, it would be pizza. I never get tired of pizza and love making it at home. According to Pizza Hut, pizza is often voted the number one most popular food in America and in fact, 94 percent of Americans eat it at least once a month! I love knowing that I’m doing my part 🙂

This recipe makes enough dough and sauce for two 9-inch pizzas.

I baked one pizza in a 9-inch cast iron skillet and the other in a 9-inch cake pan. Both came out beautifully but just a little different. The cast iron yielded a slightly crispier crust while the cake pan produced a softer, chewier crust. Both are fantastic and hold up extremely well under the thick layer of toppings.

Allow the pizza to rest for 20-30 minutes before serving so it can easily be moved to a cutting board for slicing.

This extra time to rest and cool ensures the toppings and cheese won’t spill out onto your plate. Not saying that’s a bad thing, in fact it’s super appealing to me! But if you don’t want to eat it with a fork, let it cool a while before enjoying.

Such a fun way to enjoy family time and America’s favorite food!
