Thanks Ray, Sue and I feel the same but this thing was so good we couldn't help ourselves. Dinner, next day lunch then skipped a day and did lunch again.Wow, that's some monster of a pizza pie John, looks like it's got a real nice load of meat on too, Like! When I make a pizza I'll usually vac-seal a couple of slices for the freezer. I don't like eating the same thing too many nights in a row, and it's always handy to have around for a quick thaw and micro-zap. RAY
Thanks Jake, sorry about the corners man, being you are also ex- military how about I save you a couple next time? Speaking of military you can see from my signature I am ex-navy, what branch where you in?Looks delicious john. No corners left? How rude
Thank you for the like Joe, and we are doing one saturday night and I promise it will be round.....That’s one delicious look pizza there papa John!
I think you need to start making round pies so Jake and I don’t fight over the corners. Makes it fair for everyone.
Thank you for the like Ryan, and Sue is very persistent with the darn veggies.That's another great looking pizza john! I like that "papa john"! Can't believe you still had to have a salad with all the veggies on that pizza.
Ryan
Thanks for the like Mike, and yes we were able to only eat 1 1/2 pieces each for dinner and were stuffed! Also thanks for the kind words.Looks totally awesome John! How heavy is each piece? I'm guessing 3-4 pounds? LOL. Definitely my kind of pie. Glad to see you back in action.
Mike
Thanks for the like Ishi, and compliment.Nice looking pizza pie!
Thanks Steve for the compliment also!Good lookin' pie right there!
Thanks thirdeye, nice pun....I can't take the credit other than I added a couple of tablespoons of EVOO, it was Sue who got it out in one piece.So, it could be argued that you like to cut corners?
I think one sign of a good deep dish pizza is the right ingredients in a proper order, and the other is getting that pie out of the pan, although I've seen some really saucy ones served in the pan. You nailed both of those.
Thanks for the like Rich, and we are both loving the fermented pies. Sue just said today she likes the tangy taste of the crust, reminds her of sourdough, which she loves.Nice work John . Couple pieces of that I'd be stuffed . How you like the fermented dough ?
Thanks for the like Jeff, boy seems to be a lot of folks who like the corner round here.That’s one fine deep dish pie!! I do love corners too!
Have a hell of an idea Travis...your wife and my wife can get together and watch their carbs...you me and John can get together and eat all the carbs we want! And maybe the wives can eat the fruits and veggies to save john the agony!Well the wife wants to start cutting back on carbs ....so all week ive been making low carb dishes....dont get me wrong they have all been good meals. But.......i was already craving all the things with lots of carbs and now I have to look at this on the spinner for the next few weeks lol! Cheat day????? I think so. Very soon. Nice pizza John. Everything about that pizza looks amazing to me. BIG LIKE!
Decided to do a Deep Dish pizza again by request from my wife, which is unusual as she never liked deep dish until now....
Cold proofed the pizza dough for 3 days then brought out to room temp for 2 hours. I saw a recipe that said to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of italian seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
Here are the ingredients: Tomato sauce, rosemary, basil, italian seasoning, sauteed mushrooms and carmelized onions, turkey pepperoni, fresh bell peppers, italian sausage grilled and sliced, and LOTS of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Added the sauce and spices to the dough along with the shredded cheese, pepperoni, and sausage for a first layer.

Then added the peppers, shrooms, and onions...to finish off the first layer.

Second layer, more sauce and spices.

Onto the grill indirect heat @400 degrees.

20 minutes in lookin' really good....

Couple of minutes later removed from grill and put it in the house to cool for a few minutes.

Then out onto the cutting board for cutting.

Warned you it was heavy on the pics!
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as Sue and I did for 3 meals......
Stay Safe out there!

This is a great idea! I see lots of meat filled deep dish pizza in the future. Of course served with a side of cheese stuffed breadsticks and probably some wings for good measure.Have a hell of an idea Travis...your wife and my wife can get together and watch their carbs...you me and John can get together and eat all the carbs we want! And maybe the wives can eat the fruits and veggies to save john the agony!
Ryan
Thanks for the like Jack, and I have to give the credit to Sue as she is the one that takes them out. I just put a bunch of EVOO so they don't stick and I like a crispy crust.Great looking pizza John. How did you get it out of the pan without it getting messed up? Did it just slide right out?
Thanks yo for the like Ray, and the compliments.John, UDAPIEMASTER! Wow, great looking pizza. Like!
Thanks Brian, you see I posted the recipe for ya.Looks like a hefty pizza mmmm. Kind posting the dough recipe? I have the pizza kit for my ketttle but my biggest issue is getting the dough to not stick to the stone. Costs me about 18%of my pizzas turning into pizzones or fold overs haha. But your dough looks like it came out of the pan perfect
Thanks Chris, missed that as Sue and I have been busy....Most excellent looking pie John. I'll suffer and take the middle slice.
Point for sure
Chris
Thanks for the like Robert, and the compliments as well. I am sure you will post yours up, look forward to it brother.Damn John...what can I say that hasn't already been said? That just looks amazing!! I was gonna do something similar last night but Tracy, unlike Sue, decided that she wanted a hefty meat salad, so that's what we had. Planning on this tonight though. Great job buddy!!
Robert

Thank you Sowsage, thanks for the nice comment. Sue and I have done the low carb diets before but now we are focusing on the low salt ones.Well the wife wants to start cutting back on carbs ....so all week ive been making low carb dishes....dont get me wrong they have all been good meals. But.......i was already craving all the things with lots of carbs and now I have to look at this on the spinner for the next few weeks lol! Cheat day????? I think so. Very soon. Nice pizza John. Everything about that pizza looks amazing to me. BIG LIKE!
Thanks Dan, and the cold fermentation does add a unique taste. Funny you mention the sourdough, as my wife is from the bay area and loves sourdough so I found a recipe I am going to try on the next one.Holy Cow that looks awesome John I bet it was great. Nice job on the long fermentation period doing so makes a huge difference in the flavor of the dough/crust.
Personally I'm more of a zero yeast I use and enjoy sourdough starter I'm a Naples style pizza guy but a good homemade Grandma style/ deep dish style or even focaccia bread is hard to beat. If you haven't tried a sour dough starter made pizza you should.
Thanks for the like Pi Guy, and kind words.Great looking PI! Way to go!!
