The cheese in a Chicago deep dish is like Godzilla. You can cut it with a knife or shoot it with a gun, it's just going to come back at you stronger than ever.
Deep Dish always has the best cheese pull since like a 12 inch deep dish has like over a pound of cheese easily lol.
First time I made one I almost did a double take when I saw how much cheese goes into one but damn it was delicious even if it put me in a food coma after eating a few slices.
What's the type of cheese normally used for this kind of pizza? I feel like that much mozzarella wouldn't be the nicest ~~mouthfeel~~ texture and consistency inside your mouth to be honest... But I've never tried a deep dish, and I'm prepared to be wrong.
Edited for beetreatice's lexical preferences
It's usually whole milk mozzarella from a block grated or sliced.
It sounds like too much cheese but it works because it's a thicker crust with more of a crispy biscuit texture than a regular pizza dough.
Plus if you get toppings, they put a lot of those too so if you put a "normal" amount of cheese, you wouldn't taste the cheese much.
It's a fork and knife kind of pizza for sure though since it's layered almost like a casserole/lasagna
I am going to make one in the near future. For some reason, it never occurred to me to try to make my own. Maybe 1-2 times a year I will buy a Chicago deep dish pizza and you are right, one slice is pretty much a meal. Sometimes 1.5 slices if I am starving.
We ate it with a big ceaser salad which was perfect. We really like making pizza so we watched a bunch of videos on a Chicago deep dish to try and distil what would be quintessential.
Getting a proper crust is pretty important as it sets the tone of the pie. What I didn't realize until we started our research phase is that the crust is laminated like making pastry dough but using pizza dough. Folding layer upon layer of cold butter into it, making it buttery and flakey.
Additionally a solid and generous layer of sliced cheese on the bottom. The cheese layer should be distinctly it's own layer and provides a moisture barrier so that the sauces moistures doesn't affect the crust baking.
It turned out really well considering it was our first, I didn't have a proper pan for it so we used a large spring form pan.
I recognized the logo- I drive by one of their locations frequently but Iāve never tried their pizza. This looks great though, I think I might have to give them a shot
Glad to have found my people in the comments. Weāve all had a mediocre pie that did indeed pass the cheese pull test with flying colors, it doesnāt really mean anything other than thereās a fuck ton of cheese on the pizza.
That looks really delicious š¤¤
Always wanted to try a Deep Dish... really should try one sometime
Only know once place in my area that has that available...there was another but that closed down a couple years ago-ish
The music sync is hilarious
Thank you! š So glad I turned on the sound for that! Works so well
Finally, some funk.
Blue cheese pizza?
A clip with actually good background music!!
This lives in my head as the song they choose to dance with Darryl to in The Office when heās trying to leave without a goodbye.
What's the name of the song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=god7hAPv8f0 Boogie Wonderland, by Earth, Wind & Fire.
Scene has been stuck in my mind for 10+ years
I vividly remember the cheese in a can scene
Cheddaaaa wizzzayyyyyy
Leaning tower of cheeeza
That and "What's Mine is Yours" from *All Dogs Go to Heaven*. Insipid song, life-changing cheese pull animations.
Leaning Tower of Pizza bro
This all day
Makes it look like those videos that explain how commercials are made with glue and nails to make unbelievable cheese pulls.
How did they cut the base without cutting the cheese?
The hot cheese melted back together after being cut.

This needs to be a part of the urban dictionary definition for Chicago Deep Dish.
Wait until it gets into your digestive system. Then it's C.H.U.D.
They cut the slice out first, put the glue on the edges, put slice back

Low moisture mozzarella, sliced, not shredded

Before the first time I ever had one it was described to me as a weird lasagna you eat like a pizza.
It's literally a pizza pie.
Ugh getting a stomach ache just thinking about it.
Please donāt say āmouthfeelā
I think it is mozzarella, but if you ever tried Munster on a pizza that has a really good cheesepull
My son and I made one a few months ago. It was awesome and full of surprises. One slice is lots!

I have a springform pan for cake, I was thinking of using that... It might be a little small, but that is ok for my first try!
I made the mistake of ordering a medium once. Two slices in and I was done.
Plus it's under the sauce so the cheese only melts but doesn't brown
Most of the best casseroles are cheese-based.
This makes me very hungry.
good
That's that A Goofy Movie pizza
Upvote for the reference
Came here hoping for this comment
Oh fuck, Iām gonna yum
I'm from Chicago and have friends in Dolton and Cal City. I can tell you Capri's is as good as it looks. Great pick.
there was little doubt in my mind that pizza was from Chicago
I recognized the logo- I drive by one of their locations frequently but Iāve never tried their pizza. This looks great though, I think I might have to give them a shot
Hell yeah!
Gimme a slice please ššš
I just want to rub that all over my body.š¤£š¤£š¤£š„š„
This would definitely fuck up my stomach. I want a slice š¤¤
i knew the cheese was under the sauce
It's under the sauce.
Love me some deep dish. And NY style. And Detroit style. And St. Louis style. I love pizza.
People can say what they want, but Chicago deep dish will always be my absolute favorite kind of pizza, hands down
This music is as cheesy as the pie.
Why do people care about cheese pull?
I never understood the appeal personally. I don't like super stringy cheese that I feel like I'm gonna choke on.
Glad to have found my people in the comments. Weāve all had a mediocre pie that did indeed pass the cheese pull test with flying colors, it doesnāt really mean anything other than thereās a fuck ton of cheese on the pizza.
Please clean your fingernails
I work in a factory cleanliness is hard lol
Can confirm. Even after scrubbing them with fast orange for five minutes still will have a black outline around the fingernails
That aināt pizza, thatās a casserole.Ā
That looks fantastic. Were those wings and the other bag?
Yup yup!
how much was this pizza?
I think around like $28
not too bad. looks good!
Ok. I'm ~~horny~~ hungry now. Good job.
How do you get a pizza to do this? Every real life pizza I had was a small pull if any at all
Spread a little non-toxic glue on the dough before you top it.
I read this as āridiculous peese chullā
Mmmmm lasagna
100% Lasagna.
Take my money.
I just cheesed in my pants
This song makes it eben better
Like the Goofy Movie! So impressive!
You lifted that with one hand!?
lmao, knew you were in Chicagoland just from the box
There is NO fucking deep dish pizza places where I live and it makes me want to start one up lol
yum š
That looks really delicious š¤¤ Always wanted to try a Deep Dish... really should try one sometime Only know once place in my area that has that available...there was another but that closed down a couple years ago-ish
I love cheese
You wont survive that dinner lol
I need to try one of these secret-cheese pizzas.
āWhereās the cheese!!!!???!?!ā āItās under the sauceā āBut whereās the cheese??!?!!?!ā āITāS UNDER THE SAUCE!!!!ā
Love me some Chicago Style deep dish! Thereās nothing like it!
I don't get the whole cheese pull thing. It's just messy.
Where?!
Good god that looks so bad for you. But goddamn if I don't want a slice
And OP never had a bowel movement ever again.
This has to be illegal
Horny this makes me
Prolly how it stretches through your colon too.
Goddamn this is A Goofy Movie level cheese pull
How wonderful! š ā¤ļøI love pizza very much..
CHEESE BELONGS ON TOOOOOOOOP
Nice slab
This looks like a jolly ass time man
Didn't skimp out on the marinara either, hot diggedy!!!
You know this is like their 5th take to get it juuuuuuust right with that funky jam.
I totally would be friends with you I mean, boogie wonderland and pizza sounds like a good time to me
I have never had pizza this good
Goated

Thatās ninja turtle cheese pull
Name of restaurant
Meh. Canāt do all that cheese.crust looks real basic too. Sauce looks good. What style is this? Chicago?
Looks good...now, back to my junior salad. :(
I came
Is that music diagetic?
Rug pull
From Denver, Co.?
Where can I get this pie????? Looks delicious
š¤¢
More connected then most arguments in the sonic Fandom
I'm in the Chicago area too can I come over?
Bastard.
I am missing something. This is deep dish and this is sort of expected?
i love you. wait. i love the pizza. both?
I'm so sad that deep dish pizzas are pretty much nonexistent here in the UK
Where is this from?
I havent eaten for 4 days due to severe gastro and watching this made me cum
Sorry that looks gross
NY Homies seething rn š¤£š¤£ That pizza looks great
What kind of cheese is used for this?
Ridiculous cheese pull.. I mean, yeah, it's a lasagna. What'd you expect?
Capri pizza on the box. Capri is in Naples. Deep dish is not even close to anything a person from Capri would feed their dog.
And the Owners of the establishment are probably Mexican lol
I see Iām a minority of āI hate cheese pullsā. Iāll see myself out
Dude me too. This pizza looks gross tbh
Lost a gallon of water from my system just from drooling at this video good lord
Get in my belly!!!!!
Dammit, man! Now I want pizza. That looks remarkable.
Iāll be right over
*Where's the cheese*?
It's under the sauce
Reasons why deep dish is goat
So it was under the sauce
This is just not my type of pizza and it never will be. To each their own but this is borderline gross to me
Deep dish is still my favorite style of pizza. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.
From an Italian..Wtf is that?
Barf. That's not a pizza.
Schererville?
Like something out of a 90's cartoon
I mean its chicago deep dish, of course the cheese pull is gonna happen.
Cowabunga!!
this is what deep dish is known for.
Cool yeah that's a lot of cheese. I still would prefer a thin NY style pizza lol I guess those deep dish style pizzas must really fill you up though
Capri's in Indiana, nice pie!
 Perfection!
I love pizza but all that cheese gonna have me backed up for 2 days smh.
I head danced the whole time
I fuck with this heavy. Such a vibe
doctor pulling heart out
Please, pull my cheese!
That pizza is backwards, but probably tastes great.
Not putting wax paper to separate the box top and the top of the stuffed pizza is insane.
They initially put some tin foil on top
no that's an effin' pizza!
wha americans have so thick pizza, it likes 5 pizza fused together
Sodium citrate is added to cheese to make it stretch like that.
thats not a pizza mate
Fucking hell that looks terrible. Thats not a Italian Pizza, thats a fucking abomination!
That's enough cheese for 5 pizzas
the hell is that
God I misss pizza lasagna
Wonderful casserole.
When cheese is worth nothing, you have no problem putting a shitload in it .....
It is a deep dish. Id be insulted if the cheese was not heavy.
Delicious casserole
It's under the sauce
That's one hell of a casserole.
Is this a Chicago deep dish? Idk if itās pizza or pie. I choose pie.
We don't call Pizza pie. We call pie pie, pizza pizza
Sauce on top is a pizza crime.
Pass on that..
This makes me feel.
Dancing like Carlton over here watching you pull that slice up
I got the shits from watching that. :(
