Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza: Whole Pie

    All the best stuff goes into this pan Pizza, dreamed up in Chicago, by Ike Sewell, who founded the first Pizzaria Uno in 1943.

    We start with a base of fresh dough made from all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Then, it's layered with Mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, black olives, mushrooms, green and red bell peppers, onions, pizza sauce made from scratch and topped with a generous helping of Parmesan cheese!

    Tasty, filling, comfort food that is Chicago's culinary gift to the world.

      Jeff, you're not the only one! I was getting hungry again and I had just finished a slice! In fact, I showed my wife the photo and asked her to compare it to the real thing. She liked the photo better! The magic of photography! That's why we do this.

      Phew! I'm sweating after that. Jan, was it as good for you as it was for me? ;)

      Sure, Rockey, I'm a regular Picasso with a dough hook! :)
