Chicago-style / Deep Dish

Made in a deep round baking pan, Chicago-style/deep-dish pizza is traditionally made with a dense relatively low-gluten, low-hydration dough. The crust must be firm and substantial, like a pie crust, with tall sides to accommodate the large amount of cheese, tomato sauce and other ingredients typically filled in reverse order.
