    Easiest, fastest one is Chicago deep dish. From start to eating is under two hours. Dough takes 4 minutes plus an hour to proof, seriously.

    http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1167656/how-to-make-authentic-chicago-deep-dish-pizza-in-two-hours-or-less/p1

    Traditional doughs can take a day or three in the fridge.

    I like this one.  It is really easy.  It is from the "bread in 5" recipe but scaled down to a smaller batch.

    Note, when measuring the flour pile it up high and use the back of a knife or something similar to scrape it level.  "Scoop and sweep", described here.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Thanks for the AP tip. I've never tried the forno dough with AP. I bought way too much 00 and still working my way through it. :) Will try AP when (if?) I ever run out!

    Kenji's version of the pan pizza doesn't look as thick as mine. I think mine's a bit too thick.  Not sure why as I use the same 10" pan he suggests. Same ingredient amounts too. Good anyway. One suggestion - use more sauce and cheese than on a standard NY style pie. More dough needs more toppings. This one needed more.

    @carolina_q looks like a winner to me! I'll have to check the size of my lodge but it looks like the same one.  It's about the biggest CI with a handle that would fit on a large BGE.  I typically put a whole bag of shredded Kraft cheese on it. 

     re AP flour in the forno bravo recipe, I'm sure some pizza purist will tell me that the hydration is different, but I don't care :) 

    man I want a pizza now.

    Did you form the dough up the side of the pan? Usually the dough on the edges is higher to contain the toppings. Also agree with more sauce and toppings on deep dish.
    Have not made one on the egg, YET. Just my experience from tasting Deep dish in Chicago years ago.

    For thin crust I like the Serious Eats Neopolitan dough.
    http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/07/basic-neapolitan-pizza-dough-recipe.html
    Use the OO flour, it gives it a good cracker crispness to the crust. Definitely make 2-3 days in advance. The dough can be mixed together in about 5 minutes.

    Not up the side on this pie. See pan pizza link I posted. I do pinch it up the sides on a Chicago Deep Dish, which this isn't. It's just a pan pizza, à la Pizza Hut. 

    This is a Deep Dish... =)

    Both were done in my oven. I haven't done a pizza in my egg in over two years now.

    Thank you. It is probably the quickest, easiest pizza I have ever made. Not very healthy with all the sausage and cheese, but mighty tasty! If you like DD, read through the link I posted. A step by step how to do it.

    Super simple recipe for thick crust. 
    3 parts flour by weight(bread flour works for US, AP for Canucks)
    2 parts warm (90ºF) water by weight
    15 ml yeast for every 450g flour
    5 ml salt for every 450g flour

    Mix in a bowl and turn out onto a floured surface, hand knead for a minute or two. It will be sticky, use some flour to work it. Form a ball. 
    Put in an oiled bowl (wipe the dough ball around so oil is on all sides), cover and let rise in a warm place. I fire the oven to 100ºF, then turn it off. 2 hours you are ready to go.
    You do not need to knead when you turn out of the bowl, I put on a piece of parchment cut to final shape, spread the dough and top and cook.

    +1 on the Artisan bread in 5 recipe noted by @smokeypitt.  Easy to make, and easy to work with as far as stretching/rolling your crust to desired thickness.  It is best if you make a day or more ahead, but it will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
