used a bit less cheese than the recipe called for, but this pizza turned out amazing… love the idea of cast iron for cooking pizza.

Wow that looks really good. My mouth is seriously starting to water. Actually I made deep dish pizza once when I was a teen following a recipe, I can’t remember where from, maybe Joy of Cooking or something, and it turned out delicious.

I think it’s easier to get deep dish pizza right when doing homemade than thin pizza. Thin pizza just never tastes like a real pizza place.

The cast iron skillet is a great idea. I used a 10 inch pro. grade cake pan. Only problem is that I had to remove it first before I could slice it. That was tricky to do.

Not to be nitpicky, but “Deep Dish” and “Chicago Style” descriptions are not interchangeable.

While your recipe is a deep dish pizza as it is cooked in a deep pan and has the crust rising up the sides, it is not a Chicago style deep dish pizza. Chicago style pizzas never have cheese on the top; the cheese is placed directly on the crust followed by the fillings (sausage, pepperoni, onions, etc), then topped with the sauce. In some some cases, additional cheese is mixed into the crust before baking.

In any case, this deep dish pizza still looks mighty tasty!

So how do you use the cornmeal in this recipe? I assume you sprinkle it on the bottom of the pan before pressing in the crust, no?

I’ve always thought that a skillet would be perfect for pizza.

I’ve just created a link to this recipe in our newest “Cast Iron Around the Web” at http://www.cookingincastiron.com
