Made this pizza for my family and it was a major hit. I've also tried changing the toppings around...but this is a great start! Tonight...i'm making it just as is. However some nights when I don't have all the ingredients...I will add other toppings. This is the only pizza recipe I use now!! Thanks!!!!

This recipe was awesome! I was worried about making it for my family cuz they don't like to try any new things but they absolutely loved it! And so did I! I was suprised to because I'm such a picky eater, but it was great.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I changed it a bit, I only put half as much olive oil on and used about 1/2 cup pizza sauce. What a good recipe! That fresh parmesan is what makes the pizza.

I thought this was an excellent pizza. I used a round deep dish baker and I had left overs. Plus the dough didn't cook as quickly as it should have. Next time I will definitely do it in a 9x13 as the recipe states.

I am looking for a good deep dish pizza recipe but was very disappointed with this one. It was bread with pizza toppings covering it. I had difficulty getting the bread to cook completely and found it gummy and unappealing. I can see how it would be a great advantage over dough made from yeast, but if you really want great pizza you need to take the time to make your own dough.

I don't really ever leave reviews, but this one deserved it! This is my favorite recipe, and I make it once a week for my husband and myself. It's even better heated up as a leftover! I doubled the fennel seed and I don't use all the tomatoes. Make very sure you drain the tomatoes well, or else your pizza will be a little soggy. Yummy, thanks!

This is our family's favorite "at-home" pizza! Definitely a taste of Chicago!

The dough makes THREE pizzas in a 9 inch cake pan (I read the other's troubles with the too thick bread). I also used whole wheat flour to make it more nutritious, and I put cheese on the dough, then a layer of veggies, then homemade tomato sauce on top with a little parmesan cheese. It was absolutely delish. I can't comment on the taste of the dough according to the recipe because wheat flour has its own taste, but it did taste like it was missing a little something. All in all, I thought it was great!

I have made this recipe many, many times and my family loves it. I cook the dough/pizza crust first for about 15 minutes, then add all the toppings. I continue baking for about another 20 or so minutes, until the crust is golden brown and toppings are all melted and bubbly, that the crust comes out better to our liking. It works for us and you then don't have to worry about whether the crust is cooked through in the middle of your pizza. We also make this in a deep dish pizza pan.
