    I got this idea to make a deep dish pizza with Chicago style crust and load it with ground sausage and meatballs.

    I lit the oven with a sliver of S.C. lighter wood from Clemsonfor and stacked oak snow stake pieces.

    Set some sugar maple next and started the crust.

    Rolling along...

    Cornmeal pizza dough resting before going for the rise.

    Dough in the pan partially up the sides. I used homemade sauce. The meatballs and sausage were store bought. I used a full bag of mozzeralla cheese in this pizza. I eggwashed the edges before placing the top on.
    The top was also eggwashed before going in.

    Out. It cooked for about 45 minutes at 350 or so. The oven was not as hot as I would have liked it, but the dough was risen and had to go in. I think 400 would have been ideal with a shorter baking time. I set a cast iron trivet down to keep the pan off the hot bricks.

    First of two pieces for me.

    Looks great to me! We are having salmon tonight, but I am having second thoughts.

    You know Jon, I'm beginning to think that looks really tasty.
    You're a real pal for showing us how it's done.

    FP- what can I say? I got stuck eating frozen taco pizza tonight, and you whip up THAT? I will be up your way this summer. You will wake up one morning and I will be sitting next to your brick oven with a knife, fork, plate, and bib on. I'll bring the beer! :confused:

    That style pizza is very good, especially if you like the crusty part.
