The MOST Chicago Pizza EVER?! | Tavern Style Pizza ft. @nachosandlager

- Most people know about Chicago Deep dish pizza, fewer of the local thin crust variety that many (matter of fact, most) of us locals eat on the regular. That’s right, I’m talking about Tavern-style pizza. Thin cracker crust, blistered cheese, spicy sausage/giardiniera on top and cut into SQUARES, tavern-style crust IS Chicago pizza.
I want to toss a big shoutout to John Carruthers of Crust Fund Pizza (@nachosandlager on IG) for letting me run a special for one of his pop-up pizza drops. John’s research and techniques are top tier and I wouldn’t have been able to make this video without him. If you’re ever in Chicago, check to see if he’s running a pizza drop for that month, you’ll be glad that you did. The full recipe for classic Chicago tavern style pizza is below. The recipe includes how to make the dough, sauce, and how to bake the pizza. It also includes some recommendations for toppings, gear that I find useful for making professional-level pizza at home and a few other blurbs. I hope you guys dig the video and, more importantly, the recipe! Let’s make some pizza.🤘🏼 Adam

Yoyo. If you made this pizza and have pics come post them in the Discord! I want to see... - discord.gg/aFQ4h4BXg4
This is the most legendary collaboration of all time. 2 Chicago legends.
I consider myself more a folktale, but ty.
Lived my entire life in Chi burbs, moved to SoCal about 6 months ago. Found your channel recently and your videos are the only time I miss home.
Happy to virtually deliver a little piece of Chi to Cal. Thanks for watching man.
i lived in Chicago my entire life, I prefer tavern style over deep dish all day.
Thanks for sharing some of the secrets! Can’t wait to get started on the recipe testing
You a real one for this one Adam, true chicago content my bro
Love from the West Loop ✊🤟
Always makes me happy to see you rubbing elbows with the Sasto
i just drooled on my keyboard. that pizza looks incredible........
OMG this recipe is EPIC! I grew up in the NW Chicago burbs, and this is definitely spot on for super thin crust tavern style pizza! I mostly grew up on Lou Malnati’s, but I also love me some crispy thin crust too. This recipe DEFINITELY hit the spot! Made 2 pies this evening (Friday) after setting up the dough and making the sauce on Monday afternoon, got 2 more dough balls left for dinner tomorrow. So much for my diet this month! 🤣
Great job! Thank you very much for sharing!
thank you for making the best version of my childhood fave pizza. tavern style for life.
I'm honored that you feel that way mate! Yw.
I am so excited to taste this dough! Have a batch on the counter waiting to dock and cure! 😝🤓🤤
I love this pizza with cubed pepperoni vs slices. Im also more used to a tomato paste heavy sauce.
That sound when you slice it… agghhh so hungry now
Rolling is ABSOLUTELY fine and good. Proof is in the fact that many other doughs are rolled and are light, flaky, airy, etc. A few include: pita, biscuits, croissants, and pie dough.
Perfectly charred like we like it! Giardinara ftw!
dude! delicious!!
Thanks mate! You should make it.
Good shit as always Adam!
Thanks Bill!
Big fan chef. ❣️
Gracias!
Dude, that bottom was burnt beyond recognition but hey, kudos for trying. Pizza steels tend to hammer the underside hard so lighten up the sausage size and to melt the cheese you can fire the top burner (broiler) for 30 seconds to get the top done to your liking without turning the underside to carbon. Instead of coarse Semolina, use the 2X ground (RImacinata) Semola. Most people don't care for the sand on the underside... Cheers!
Reminds me of the black chunks I use for grilling! What do you call it again? Oh yes! Coal briquettes! Didn't even know you could eat them! 😂
Oh ya you over cooked it!
Dude! Tavern style pizza is my jam. I miss it most along with Chicago style dogs and Italian beef. Moved to rural central WI 22 years ago and there's only a couple places that come close to a passable tavern pizza. Both of those places were started by former Chicagoans.
Killing it.
Thanks mate.
Im baked off za watching you make za 🤣🤣 im going to order Italian fiesta now🤣
Been using CFP's recipe for the last year. Moved to Franklin, TN last year from Chi to meh food and horrible pizza. Resorted to making my own. The pizza steel was the game changer!! Had to "import" Tony's (in Edison Park) Hot Giardinera and cases of Old Style.
#squarelife
Square Life baby. You're a real one. Love the dedication. The pizza steel was an amazing upgrade on my end, too.
in the same boat...in wilco too, pizza game is weak
No flop all the way 😍
San Marzonos tomatoes are always whole plum tomatoes in a can. Also your under was a little to black. And usually the sausage is cooked ahead of time to make sure it's completely done. The recipe is good though and will try for the pizza crust.
How long in advance of baking should your dough come out of the fridge for the recipe?
Did not expect to see Joe Sasto lol sick
He's a good bloke.
He was great on top chef!!
I keep trying to make a thin crunchy crust as it's my husband's idea of a perfect pizza crust. Can I substitute semolina flour for cornmeal? Are the two interchangeable? Thanks!
I can't answer the question outside the realm of theory, but I'm one to recommend experimentation. Try it! However, I will say, cornmeal is a pretty important piece of the puzzle. Cornmeal part of the signature taste and feel of Tavern style.
@@AdamWitt Thank you so much! I really enjoy your channel.
cool! this is a flammekueche!
Not sure what that means but I'll take it!
@@AdamWitt it's very similar to alsatian pizza, the flammekueche!
Can this dough be frozen after is rolled out?
Come on cornmeal in the crust? If you do your research you'll see it's mixture of corn oil, butter and olive oil and AP flour only time cornmeal should touch the dough is on the pizza peel! But i still love you check on the Ricobene's breaded steak sandwich? It has the same red sauce like italian beef from my youth..
Actually I'm changing my message it's corn oil only for the cracker crust i had lou Malnati's crust in my head 😅
This style of pizza is popular elsewhere in Illinois. sausage has to be in big chunks like that.
11:34 thats just burnt, who are we kidding
For real
Is there a specific reason as to why you don't just add the yeast, salt and sugar to the water first, then the dry ingredients and just pulse it all together? I don't work with food processors so it's a pretty new concept to me, I've only ever worked on doughs by hand.
Sure thing. It's Instant Yeast as opposed to Active Dry meaning that it can be worked into the dough without being "bloomed" in warm water.
You want a large heat sink. Large mass of metal is what you want and cast iron is better than cookie sheets as cheaper alternative.
If you really from Chgo, we don’t call anything tavern style 🤷🏼♂️
Reminds me of the black chunks I use for grilling! What do you call it again? Oh yes! coal briquettes! Didn't even know you could eat them!🤣🤣
Was that Top Chef final three season 15 contestant Joe Sasto getting a pizza?
Lol, yezzir.
No offense to you, sir. And I liked how your pizza turned, but many of my customers would call that burned. However I will try this recipe with my friends and family to get honest feedback before releasing this to the public…appreciate you.
I think 550 was too high too. 425 is probably perfect for the crust, but I would have pre cooked the sausage first before putting it on pizza.
Probably wouldn't have let that crust fridge over night. Yeast need time to rise, and this pizza is flat
Yep burnt
@@kassenz The whole point of this pizza is to be ultra thin (flat). It was definitely burnt though.
@@kassenzprecooking the sausage is unnecessary and contrary to what they do in the pizza places. This way they remain insanely juicy and the flavourful fat is rendered out onto the pizza. Sausage pieces that small will cook to temp easily in 10 mins.
The can of tomatoes that you said was San Marzano is actually San Merica. And they put a chemical in the tomato to firm it up and make it last longer in the can. Huge effect on the quality of the flavor. Make sure you read the label before you promote something. Just saying. Great video.
Friends: we know you can’t cook so don’t recommend it
Me: have you tried my pizza tho?
Wooooow Fella thats burnt..!
Something Milwaukee and Chicago have in common! A love for cracker crust 'za! I hear St. Louis likes it, too, but they put Provel on theirs??? Eww! What do ya expect from Cardinal fans? Anyways...next time you drive up nort', eh, to see the Brewers crush da Cubbies, stop at Balistreri's or Zaffiro's for a Milwaukee CSMO (pronounced "chizmo"). I'm not even sure if they put any leavening in their crust at all...great stuff, tho!
Hahah, I just read that entire thing in a 'Sconie voice. That was amazing. Thanks for the recs.
@@AdamWitt Keep it up! I'm a new fan since I saw your collab with Stephen Cusato making Italian Beef. Great stuff.
@@Jackalope235 Amazing dude! Stephen is the man. Welcome.
Except Wisconsin versions are not close........wells bros... Soggy mess................. I have tried over 20 places in and around Milwaukee when I worked there and your best was like rosatis which is mediocre at best in Illinois
I have never once in my entire life ordered a chicago thin crust pizza and it be completely charred. Slight hints of char maybe here or there but not full char.
burnt. looks like pizza i make when i pass out drunk
No wonder the pizza was crispy the bottom was like a peace of coal 😅
Some black spots are ok but this looks completely burned
Yeah, that lil very dark, shall,I say burnt...., I know spotting is good, but, no spotting is just plain burnt.....
Shit!!......It burned!!
It is kind of incredible I didn't know a pizza could look this shitty.
Little overdone on the crust. 7 min x 7 min is more my speed. Otherwise, fantastic looking pie. 10 outta 10, would eat.
That crust is burnt
Burnt pizza
St. Louis Style Pizza.
Burnt pizza no thank u
who cares for u thin cut chicago is the best
@@waltDisney-34079ok peanut head. And doesn’t matter what you consider “the best”. Burnt pizza is burnt pizza
wow.........one of the most overly complicated recipes for something that is supposed to be simple I've ever encountered.......and on top of it the end result was a charcoal briquette.
You took them a bit too far. Burnt them a bit.
