    Thick crust is sicilian, Chicago should be thin crust set up like a pie with pizza ingredients and maybe even another crust layer as the filling. When I worked at Unos the crust we made was no thicker on the pans than the hand tossed.

    You do put oil in a deep dish pan and it's not cast iron its just a relatively thin steel. I'm sure there are home experts who do it differently and hipster places as well but that's how it was done at Unos when I made pies for a living. Yeah they may be a choin now but they still make good pies (even if I prefer Giordanos or even Malnatis).

    Thickness depends on where you're eating.
    Only thing I've had from Uno's is regular crust.
    Can't remember every style, but I believe Gino's East Deep Dish is a thick crust
    And you are correct on the pans. But that's for restaurants because they bring it out to the customer in those pans.
    Forum recommends cat iron. And no oil.
    I'm trying to upload pictures but they are too large and I don't have time to resize all of them.

    I just made a thick crust for my employees.
    Will post them later

    Well, I'm pretty sure I had Uno's back in the 85-89 timeframe and I thought for sure it was thick crust stuff I had. I worked a tradeshow up at McCormick Center every year during that time. I may have to try one again if it is thin like you say.

    There's thin, regular and deep dish. Then you have several dough recipes. Very popular is called "cracker style" which I have yet to try making.

    Forum food snobs are not always the best source, the restaurants created the style, the restaurant get to dictate what is proper - either way they cook it in oil in a thin pan and it works great, it's also why there is oil in the pan in the original question. I could swear I've had Ginos but maybe not if it is a thick crust, never had one thick in Chicago. It would have stood out for sure as I cuss about people calling a round sicilian a deep dish all the time :D

    Thick is relative, it's not cracker thin and is even a touch thicker than a normal NY style hand tossed but it's not like 1/2 inch thick bread, that's just annoying to me.

    That's what the boss wants when she says thin. Going to work on my normal hand tossed style once I get some yeast, then if I get that close to right I'll try for a super thin for her. Already do an okay deep dish even if I have the same patience issue stretching the dough as I had making them at work :crackup:

    My biggest bitch is when people say to put corn meal in the dough.
    I just looked and Food Network has that in their Gino's recipe.

    Yeah in it seems odd, as a dusting to help it slide no problem. Granted there as many recipes out there as pizza joints I'm sure and basically once they're all cooked with toppings I'm pretty much a fan of every single one :crackup:

    With ya. Nasty as eff if the meal is cooked in. Thats for the bottom only to give it slide motion in and out of the oven. A true pizza snob will agree. I happen to be one.
