The Chicago thin crust tavern style pizza is possibly my favorite type of pizza. It breaks all the rules, so today I travel to Chicago to try to understand it with two Chicago natives who know a thing or two about pizza.

The dude with the glasses is awesome on camera
Thin cracker crust is the only pizza to eat✨ I grew up on it in Wisconsin 🍕
How about that NY Giants win this week!! LFG!
The main purpose of the ice is to develop a strong gluten structure… An industrial mixer (or even a good home mixer) will warm up the dough and make the gluten structure weaker (less stretchable.) You try to keep the dough under 40-50C, depending on goal. Hence, the ice. This applies to all bread making.
The fermentation (flavor) is not considered at this point. It's about perfect gluten development. As for making these cracker pizzas… looks easy!
i've always heard this called St. Louis style pizza – not Chicago
I'm glad to see others realizing that tavern style is Chicago-style pizza. Nothing against Chicago-style deep dish, but… that's not really what we eat.
Professor Pizza is a great place – I talked about it for weeks after my visit!
Glad to see chicago thin crust get the recognition it deserves from outsiders. Deep dish is amazing as a special occasion pie, but that cracker crust is always the best go to.
Dominos makes a thin crust similar to theirs. I'm sure theirs is better.
Cant stand Adam but thanks for the video.
can confirm after the vid i hate Adam.
please don't ever change! love your vids! always watch them while editing my own!
Nah. This is a miss, bro. Chicago tavern pizza is booty cheeks.
Chicago gal born n bred here. I might enjoy a deep dish pizza once every year or so. That's about it. Tavern style is where it's at 100%!
Crazy flavor look so good
Looks like Rosangelas
burnt ass pizzas
BS. The Chi-Town pies were burnt. 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
I love that place in Chi Town.
CHICAGO! My favorite food city! 😋😋😋
We are there a couple of times a year. Yes…my daughter and I each order our own pie. ❤ it.
I can't get on board with square slices. It's too messy.
isn';t this crap called St Louis garbage
I need Chicago pizza in my face!
I am 420% going to be making this dough 🤯😵💫
5 seconds in: * "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAAAAT?!?!? THAT'S AN ABOMINATION!!! >:(" *
As a Chicagoan, I like tavern style, I drool for great deep dish.
And nobody has a better tavern style pizza than Home Run Inn, period. Never burnt, always buttery and crisp. Been eating theirs for 40+ years.
In the Midwest, we simply call this, "pizza."
Imo’s does it good over there in St. Louis.
No , square cut pizza became an appetizer . A normal person doesn't want to eat small squares like it's tostitos.
Thanks so cool Chicago Pizza. It was hard to make but it was yummy. I’m gonna stick to the New York pizza Bronx.❤😊
Jersey has better places
Now I want pizza!
As a Chicagoan myself, I switch off weekly since Friday's are pizza night for me. Tavern style pizza on week, deep dish the next, and on and on! I aint like these lame fellow "Chicagoans" who say that they only eat deep dish during family gatherings and special events. Bunch of lames. Surprised they dont even eat tavern style pizza with a fork and knife like they do with deep dish like a bunch of fags. Eat deep dish with your hands like a true Chicagoan and pizza lover! Sick of Chicagoans downplaying deep dish pizza and saying that to non Chicagoans to turn then away to tavern style. Chicago deep dish is heaven and Im lucky to live in Chicago as a huge pizza lover. Because of both styles of Chicago pizza, I can never go back to papa johns, dominos, and pizza hut! Chicago Deep dish and tavern style all day!!!!
promise you're gonna work on how you say "amatriciana", Ok? 🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes it is better to just walk away from things and go back to them later when you’re in a better frame of mind.
tony! he’s from my hometown and just opened one of his slice house locations here!
Shout out to Tony Gem used to watch him as a kid but he was working in Castro Valley🎉
I see my guy swag carried onto that pizza great techniques for a greater end product salute🎉
We need more videos like this 👍
I found you through Adam. I found Adam after a Reddit post he did. I was a chef before I became disabled so love both of your content and frequently share your videos with my husband as things to have for dinner. Yet to have a bad meal from either of you and we are introducing my FIL to a lot of tasty things he has never tried. Thank you for your amazing recipes and wit
