Chicago Pie Pizza

Chicago Pie Pizza

Overview

Chicago pie pizza is a representative of American pizza. Compared with the thin body and sporadic embellishments of Italian pizza, this Chicago pie pizza will make people feel that it is the other extreme of Italian pizza. It has a strong body full of content, and takes the characteristics of American pizza to the extreme, with more meat, more cheese, and more tomato sauce. If it is not tightly wrapped in dough, you will worry that the fillings will burst out. It would be a pity not to try this kind of pizza, so I moved it to my dining table. You won’t know until you eat it whether it tastes amazing or not! A pizza was cut into 8 pieces. My girl ate two pieces until she was exhausted, but she still wanted to eat it, so she took another piece with her before going to work, haha. Because there is corn flour in the dough of this pizza, the crust is very crispy right after baking. Because the fillings are many and juicy, the inside is really soft. The crust is best eaten when it is hot. It will not be so crispy after it cools down. Although the fillings are full of meat, Because there are spinach and mushrooms, you won't feel tired when you eat it. The cheese binds all the ingredients together. When you bite into it, the flavors are blended into one, leaving a fragrant mouthfeel. The sweet and sour tomato sauce not only removes the greasiness, but also adds an aftertaste. All in all, this is a very delicious pizza, from crust to filling. If you like pizza, you must not miss it!

Peel and chop the tomatoes, first sauté the garlic and onion with olive oil, then add the chopped tomatoes and sauté until soft, then break into pieces with a cooking stick
