As some of you know I have started making pizzas lately totally scratch made and cooking them on the grill.

Well up to now they have been just regular crust pizza's, so I went in search of a deep dish pizza.

Found one here:
For a Detroit style deep pan.

Cooked up some Italian sausage on the grill, and let them cool and then sliced.

I only used it as a baseline for the process, as I used the same pizza dough recipe that I have been using. I did increase the recipe to allow for more dough, and I cold proofed it in the fridge for 3 days.

Put it in a 9x13' pan with some EVOO and let it rest for 30 minutes.

First layer sauce, spices, pepperoni, and sausage.

Then added peppers, mushrooms, and caramelized onions.

Next layer, put on the mozzarella cheese, more sauce, more pepperoni, and more sausage.

Then the rest of the peppers, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and mozzarella.

Then off to the grill @400 indirect for 30 minutes.

On to the cutting board. to rest a few minutes.

Then cut with a large knife as it was too thick for the pizza cutter.

Plated, was a bit of an gooey mess, but it tasted really good.

Definitely
will try to proof the dough as it does add a nice flavor and texture.

Great job! I love pizza on the grill but haven't tried my deep dish on it yet. Detroit Style is definitely the best!

That looks perfect, John! Gooey is the best way to have deep dish pizza. The edges look just crispy enough too. Excellent! Thanks for sharing and enjoy.

Nice. Looks yummy. I bought a pan couple weeks ago for Detroit pizza but have yet to try. Been trying to get blood sugar down. Maybe not trying hard enough.
 
Oh my God John!! That is nothing short of amazing!! Holy smoke that looks good, and I won't complain if I get the center or a corner. I'd be thrilled to get either. Great work buddy!! You're sure taking pizza to entirely new levels. Keep it up and you'll own a pizza empire....even if they are just for you and Sue :emoji_laughing:

Big LIKE!!
