If made properly, deep dish or Chicago-style pizza can be life-changing. While this pie is controversial in the pizza world, here's what I have come to know. If you make a great, buttery crust, top that with a bunch of cheese, well-seasoned Italian sausage, and thick, flavorful sauce, you're in for a treat. Don't @ me. Whether or not you call it pizza, you gotta admit that it tastes DOPE.
