I’m craving a Chicago style deep dish pie and am looking at alternatives to making homemade dough. There are some online recipes using store bought pre-made pie crusts or refrigerated pizza dough like from Pillsbury. I plan on using my cast skillet if I go the dough route. Has anyone had any success using either of these store bought crusts or should I suck it up and make my own dough?

Would buying dough from somewhere like WholeFoods fit the bill?

This is what I do. Whole Foods dough in a cast iron pan.

Sliced provolone on the bottom. Topped with a layer of mostly cooked sausage (to get rid of the grease). Then a topping of veggies mostly cooked (to get rid of the water). I like onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic. Then topped with mozzarella cheese.

Then indirect on the BGE grill.

I also like to do the same thing with non pizza ingredients. Broccoli, Cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, ect with cheddar cheese is a good one.

So long as you know what you're doing, it will be so much better if you make your own crust.

We shipped them from Giordano's one time.
It's pricey to ship though and not something we would do often.

Not to hijack the thread, but That's Amore in Metairie and NOLA has a killer dd pizza. If you have the opportunity I suggest checking it out.

Yeah, just get Lou Malnati's to ship you one.






If Pequod's would ship I would buy one weekly.
