Verry Good! My hubby loved it and wants me to put it on my \"cook often\" list. I had a hard time getting the dough to spread, any suggestions?<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/19\/2010 14:13","GUID":"b27821023b00451a9e55c8fe50958af0","MemberId":3018223,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ajackson2004","SubmittedDate":"08\/19\/2010 14:13"},{"Comment":"
Not a fan of frozen bread dough. Used pizza dough from my local italian market. Pressing the dough in the pan was easier than rolling out. Loved the combo of sausage and muchrooms. Living in a suburb of Chicago, I can tell you this recipe is a close second.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"03\/30\/2010 19:01","GUID":"32712638C8D04A4185CE5AF8F889309D","MemberId":1584655,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"linsvin","SubmittedDate":"03\/30\/2010 19:01"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"02\/27\/2010 08:32","GUID":"3f704999f9334774838f0f02f6eabc2a","MemberId":1172134,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jenny73","SubmittedDate":"02\/27\/2010 08:32"},{"Comment":"
We love this recipe. It is one of the best I have found. It has a restaurant quality flavor and is not difficult to make. The only change I made was to use petite diced tomatoes and only 14 oz. of them. The larger tomatoes were overwhelming to the spices. Thanks for a great recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"01\/31\/2008 19:26","GUID":"64387b9cb4fb4766b8edb13ec1fd23ab","MemberId":1122812,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sandra Henslee","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2009 16:11"},{"Comment":"
This is one of our favorite pizzas! I have also used this with our standard pizza dough and it is yummy! Authentic or not, it is very good.<\/p>

I am sure this pizza is great but this doesn't even resemble real Chicago Pies like you would get at Lou Malnati's or Geno's East. Lou Malnati's, for example, does not use onions in the sauce. The Sauce is really quite simple. Just Plum tomatoes and tomato sauce with a garnish of oregano on top (you may add a little olive oil, in the sauce, if you like). The Garlic is applied to the crust in the form of garlic butter. The crust is simple just flour, water, olive oil, corn oil, yeast and salt. The pizza is assembled in the following manner, cheese, meat, cheese, tomatoes, oregano and a dusting of Romano cheese. That is all there is to it. It is a simple pie to make and it keeps people all over the world longing to go back to Chicago just for a slice of it. <\/p>
If you contact me I would be happy to share a recipe that I developed that is a close clone of the traditional Lou Malnati's Pie. It is easy to make. If you have a dough mixer or bread machine it is faster than waiting for bread dough to thaw and it is about a billion times better.<\/p>
I am glad to see that someone else loves Chicago as much as I do. I had tried for years to recreate the taste of Chicago and eventualy just ordered about $80 worth of pies and had them mailed to me on ice. I read the ingredients and took the pies apart until I could duplicate them. I do find that the sausage and pepperoni can't be duplicated locally but I buy the best that is available and the result is pretty good. The other change I have made is I add a bit more yeast to the dough. It makes it a little fluffier but my kids like it that way. <\/p>
I have now posted the recipe here: https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/Recipes\/Community\/Authentic-Chicago-Style-Pizza
