Many of you know by reading my Facebook and blog posts that I adore NYC pizza.  However, I do have to hand it to Chicago, they have amazing pizza too– and their very own style of making it. Chicago stuffed pizza (vs. deep dish that we see at Pizzeria Uno) is the idea of a deep dish pizza, however a thin layer of dough forms in a bowl in a high-sided pan and the toppings and cheese are added. Then, an additional layer of dough goes on top and is pressed to the sides of the bottom crust. The tomato sauce  goes on…
