DIY DEEP DISH PIZZA

264 vs 315 Calories

The Deep Dish Pizza versus is on and we’re competing to see who can make the best one. Only rule is is we can’t use anything other than our Lenovo to help us.  Turns out it was super helpful in teaching JP about deep dish pizza and bringing us an incredible focaccia recipe for Julia’s dough.

Julia’s deep dish pizza is made with focaccia for the crust, homemade robust and rustic red sauce, and fresh classic toppings including sausage, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms.  Reminiscent of Julia’s favorite Chicago style deep dish pie.  This is so good it brought us back to Chicago in each bite.
