Once I moved to Chicago I couldn't believe all the choices there were for pizza, especially deep dish. I love a good deep dish pizza but I must say I'm not a fan of many of the crusts that accompany them - they sometimes taste like unsweetened pastry crust, yuck!
So I came up with my own deep dish pizza that I could make in a cast iron skillet and cook on my pizza stone. It's delicious and relatively easy to make even with a fire in the middle of the preparation! And best of all a lot less calories then a slice of take out.

We pulled the fire scene out of the video and made it a blooper, so enjoy the fire and the rest of the videos that make up this fantastic dish.
Not really a cheat day dish but still higher in calories than my usual meals.
