Sir if you came up with this you need an award. I have been making pizza at home for years and this never crossed my mind. It's perfect for when my kids have friends over. My starter is being fed post haste! To the Man cave Robin!
Very nice idea! As a native Chicagoen, I would sprinkle cornmeal in the muffin tin before adding the dough. I make Chicago style pizza often, but we fill it with spinach, most often. I would probably have to add it to the sauce here to keep it from being too wet. This looks great though. Will certainly use it for a party.
Ha! I’m a sub, and a viewer for nearly a decade! So, I was gonna watch this sooner or later, for certain - BUT………it was the title in the thumbnail that made it a MUST watch NOW! lol,lol,lol !!! Well played, chef John! Peace PS - (this “ps” is typed just after watching the vid. I was compelled to return to my original comment and add that: the details in Chef’s technique are freak’n fabulous, and, even prior to my first attempt at this recipe, I can see that Chef John REALLY TRYS to ensure our collective success on our first attempts! He IS the best at conveying his ideas and techniques to me and my fellow “home chefs” world wide!) He deserves more acclaim than he receives! Ok - that’s my 2 cents - plus inflation. (lol) 👍
As someone who never really got into deep dish this looks like the perfect vehicle of delivery for it! I was never a fan of the giant slab style, so this seems like a much more enjoyable way to eat it
These!! Huge hit! Long story - no time to make your pizza dough recipe I was up against a rock and a hard place. Decided, in a pinch, to buy frozen dough (believe me that goes against every principle in my soul) but get this…no frozen dough anywhere!!! I ended up using puff pastry sheets!! 🤦♀️ But ya know, they worked out just fine. Thx Chef John!
Just so you know, you can do something very similar with canned biscuits from the store. Flatten them out, put them in a muffin tin, and put whatever toppings you want in them and bake. I use leftover casserole in them. Great way to use up leftovers.
Chef John you are the undisputed king of stoner food. My friends love it when I make your snack recipes, they’re always a hit. Thank you for your amazing recipes and your sense of humor.
Uh oh, you made all the people from Chicago roll their eyes when you mentioned deep dish and Chicago in the same sentence! Thanks for making this video!
At first I thought these would be nice for a Super Bowl party potluck if the Bears were playing, but then I realized I'd much rather make them before I die.
Welp, now you've gone and wandered into mouth waterfall territory. These look amazing and I love that sausage/pepper combo too. Definitely gotta try these soon.
You are so fun to watch and listen to Chef John! I love your sense of humor and the little pokes & jokes you make at cooking conventions (not the Shriners kind) . This Chicago pizza recipe is just in time for the big game! Thanks!
Made this tonight and it was AMAZING was a hit the whole family wanted more! I’ll post pictures on allrecipes thanks again for making me the star of dinner
Perhaps I am in the minority of viewers, but I mostly watch videos of recipes I intend to use. To wit, I hope the recent popularity and proliferation of impractical, novelty-hunting cooking channels does not unduly influence this channel. Because some of your shortest videos showcasing some of your simplest recipes have brought such joy to our home! Your honest approach, showing every step, has done so much to demystify cooking. You empower in the truest sense by sharing knowledge and teaching skills. And I am not commenting on this recipe in particular or any other recent video necessarily, but I hope that the fickle RUclips algorithm which seems to increasingly serve and reward the worst natures of the RUclips community does not doom you to making the kind of silly, overly elaborate, entirely impractical, best only watched and not recreated recipes which sadly seem to be the new hotness around here. Sorry to express my gratitude with a side of negativity and implied demands, but I guess what I mean to say is: I still think you're the best! And I hope you never change!! May you forever be the Sid Vicious of unpretentious but delicious!
Hmm! Deep dish pizza! Delicious memories from a short trip to Chicago that I made in 2009. Strangely enough, ever since I had that kind of pizza, I became a fan of green bell peppers as a pizza ingredient (which I wasn't before). It does add a very tasty touch to it all. Cheers!
Your pizza sauce recipe is literally the BEST. I always keep some in the freezer which makes it 10 times better. I wonder if you reheated these for a party the next day you could first oil the muffin pan and pop it into a 500 degree oven for a bit before putting the cold pizzaitas in and heating at 350. Maybe fry up that crust a bit for some crunchiness. I'm gonna try that.
This is brilliant! While I've never been a huge fan of deep dish pizza, this looks like the perfect, delicious alternative; giving us the taste and flavor of CDDP, without it being "too much". Thanks again for another wonderful recipe, Chef John!
"And it's ok if a little bit [of parm] goes on the pan. Since there's no way to do this without that happening." This might be my new favorite Food Wishes line of all time.
Eyyyy, Chicagoooo! Shout out to my Chicago brothers and sisters out there, love my home town Chicago. Don't forget the side of giardiniera for an authentic Chicago experience
Sausage and spinach are the best deep dish toppings! Especially when it's a sausage patty instead of crumbles. Anyone in the area looking for the best, try Gino's East and Lou malnatis!
@@annbrookens945 my first deep dish was a spinach “stuffed” pizza at Nancy’s Pizza, a north side local chain. Gino’s is my favorite, but Lou’s is easier to obtain in the suburbs. Love a good slab of sausage!
Gino's East? Come on man, no way! For the best pizza you've gotta get yourself over to I don't know what I'm talking about, because I've never been to Chicago.
I just made this tonight. Delish. I got lazy and didn't roll out my dough thin enough so it was a bit too bready, and thus, not enough sauce. So I served it with a side of pizza sauce and saved the day.
John brother, I've been watching your videos for many many years and this is the first recipe of yours I'm going to make. In future pizza recipes you might want to mention the huge huge benefits to flavor and texture you get by leaving the dough in the fridge for 3 days.
My retired professional pizzeria cook friend says he and his boss learned over time that dough that had been made 24-48 hours in advance was noticeably better than fresh dough. Even eight hours in the fridge improved it. Never heard of a three-day rule. Any idea why this works?
@@serendipityshopnyc it doesn't need to be 3 days, it could be 2 or 1 or even 4 but as the dough sits in the fridge kts called cold fermentation and as it's just sitting in the fridge covered its developing complex flavors over that period of time
@@serendipityshopnyc so I would say 3 days is my lkmit. What you could do is make the dough, refrigerate it for 2 days then you can freeze it. Then when you're thawing back out for 24 hours in the fridge it becomes 3 days total Cold fermentation of dough like this is probably the single biggest improvement one can do to improve pizza dough
For Cooking/Camping I have what I think is considered a 4" Cat bowl. I bought them at Wal-Mart years ago for making my own Pot Pie's. They Nest well and are Stainless Steel and would be Great to use in a Copy Cat of this Recipe. I'd suggest just cutting a Square of Dough large enough to fit into the pan for a Sizing Measurement and Go From There!
I make it a point to get this pizza every time I go to Chicago. I can never decide which joint I like best. Last time I was there I went to Gino's East and it was fantastic but then it has been fantastic at every pizza place I have gone to :D
i am going to make the dough now and im having a few of these for dinner later........i cant believe i didnt think of making something like this sooner, thanks chef
LMAO I love your sense of humor! I am pretty OCD, but the order in which YOU place your dough doesn't bother me. However, the peppers do! I cannot stand the taste or smell of bell peppers... especially cooked!
Love this video. This summer I created a version of this and a twist like this for spanikopita as I have been starting to plan items for my small food business 😜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look so good. I've been looking for a different variation of pizza, I make my own pizzas but living alone, I can't eat a whole one. These would be perfect for freezing some for later
What a neat idea! That looks good! Happy New Year! You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions! ; )

If Chef John ever needs a kidney, I'll find him one. This man is a national treasure.

They tend to taste like soggy biscuits in sauce, canned or homemade pizza dough is better

Chef John, all your recipes look beyond delicious.

Cold pizza was always my favorite breakfast, no drinking required. 😉
Yes...cold pizza and hot coffee.

Did that work? If not did you do the first batch with a bit of cornmeal on the bottom of the muffin tin?
Made these Sunday night and they came out great. Warmed two up in the air fryer today for hubby's lunch and he said they were just as good as fresh!

Coming from the d... Im so glad u mentioned Detroit style. Much love to ya chef john. Been a fan for years.
I LOVE deep dish pizza and these look perfect! No knife and fork required!
This is an awesome idea. You can make and freeze and EAT whenever you want. God bless you chef john. Keep the great ideas coming 😋😋😋
Now this is something I'll be able to eat all day.
Thanks chef John. You're my hero 👍
Why are you so amazing chef John? This looks absolutely divine. Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait to try them! Do up a few batches and could freeze them for the pest ever pizza poppers! 😃
Chef John, I love your videos, food and your personality. Thanks for posting.

Very cleaver, awesome execution, it is such a good idea I am surprised that I have never seen this before.

My absolute favourite foodtuber definitely is...whoever's video I just watched most recently
I am now disappointed that I was teased with the possibility of seeing a freakishly small spatula. lol
These look amazing!
True Chicago style is thin, crispy and cut in squares. We call it pub style. What we Chicagoans order daily is pub style. Deep dish is tourist pizza.
That pub style spans from Iowa to SE Wisconsin - it's not unique to Chicago.
I think even Jon Stewart could appreciate these. He might have to stop visiting New Jersey if he says anything, but that will be our secret, OK?
LMAO I love your sense of humor! I am pretty OCD, but the order in which YOU place your dough doesn't bother me. However, the peppers do! I cannot stand the taste or smell of bell peppers... especially cooked!

That’s cause it’s basically a lasagna
