You can get a wide variety of deep dish pizza pans online, by searching for ‘deep dish pizza’ on Ebay or Amazon. I personally got the Chicago Metallic Pro via Amazon; its a 14″ pan which is enormous…a perfect size Ebay seemed to have preseasoned (used) pizza pans, at a wide range of sizes.

Personal fave: Spinach, Italian Sausage with Extra Garlic!

This is an excellent recipe!! I worked at giordano’s for 2 years and I have to tell you that this tastes just about the same if not better! I’ve made this several times for friends and they are thoroughly impressed. Thank you!

Hi Sharlene. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of our favorite meals. Thanks also for sharing your tip about using cast iron skillets.

Make that a 2″ deep by 12″ skillet not two 1 inch deep cast iron skillets.

BTW- I used two inch deep cast iron skillets to make this in and it worked out fine!

OMG! WOW…this is a great recipe! I’ve been to Giordano’s and they DO have a great stuffed pizza but I made this recipe last night and may I say, this is the best homemade pizza I ever made! The crust was chewy, crusty and NOT soggy! I put the spinach and cheese in it along with onions, olives, beech and button mushrooms and a bit of the sauce inside…it was GREAT!!! Thank You

no, unfortunately I did not bring one…… I bought lots of stuff in Chicago, including a normal frying pan (don’t laugh but it was on sale at Target and I could not resist), but I have to look for one around here

C, I’ve never been to Pizzapapalis or tried their pizza, so I’m not sure exactly what it is.
Inge, of course you can try it. Do you have a deep 12-inch/30 cm or similar pan?

I forgot something: I HAVE to be able to make a perfect Chicago style stuffed pizza until my daughter comes back home in June – she is studying at OU/Oklahoma and was with me in Chicago and we really ADORED the pizza………..

Hi, I am from Germany and we spent 10 wonderfol days in Chicago around New Years. The most remarkable experience for us was Giordano’s stuffed pizza – I loved it so much I was able to bring back home two pieces on the plane. Now I am looking for a recipe to make it here at home. Do you think I can try yours??????
