Chicago deep dish

Finally broke out the recipe @Carolina Q has shared for Chicago-style crust. First attempt was a sausage, onion, black olive, spinach, and pepperoni pie. Did it at 500* in a cast-iron skillet, elevated a few inches above a PS, legs down. Took about 30 minutes, turned and foiled (because the top was charring a bit - might be because we used a sprinkling of mozzarella on top instead of the traditional parmesan/romano) halfway through.

Now, pics:

The crust turned out perfectly; these pictures don't do it justice. It was a perfect golden brown on the bottom.

My wife and I can vouch that this crust is pretty much identical to Lou Malnati's or Gino's East. Thanks again, @Carolina Q!

And now I'm hungry again, think I'll have another beer instead and call it a night. Damn that's a good looking pie.

@ShadowNick: Edwardo's was always my wife's favorite, but their crust is a little different. And Giordano's is awesome.

Gotta agree. When in Chicago, Eduardo's and Pequod's are my go to spots.
