Here's my version of your Chicago Deep Dish, Nate.
Sadly, my phone died for the cooked pictures...
I only have this pre cooked one. It turned out great and only took about 15 minutes. I put way too much sauce on it and a lot of it came off after the first slice, but that wasnt necessarily a bad thing, just aesthetically unpleasant. As I'd have to make my own breakfast sausage, I decided on pepperoni and mushroom toppings and used parmigiana cheese instead of pecorino.
I will definitely be making this again.
Thank you for the inspiration!
