Grateful for this video. I spotted the recipe on the Ooni app and was thinking about getting a cast iron pan just to make this pizza!

I don't know if I quite understand the point of cooking a deep dish pizza like this in an Ooni oven. It's going to be way too hot to cook through, and you might as well just use a regular oven at that point. Maybe someone could explain.

Can you make these in a karu since its smaller?

Once you've made one, can you add fresh dough to the same pan or would that not work? Does pie need its own cold pan?

On Ooni 16inch model this came out raw and burned on the edgees, I cant get my Ooni to work even when placing the dough on the stone, its like 2 out of 4 will be raw dough or burned edges :( thinking of selling my Ooni coz of this...how hard can it be ?!

Two typos/errors in your recipe:
1) Your blog post calls for vegetable oil mixed in the water. Your video recipe doesn't have it.
2) Both the blog post and the video mix up teaspoons and tablespoons. For example you say 1/2 tbsp salt, which is about 9 grams. You probably mean teaspoons.

This is not Chicago deep dish. I love Ooni ovens, but this ain't it! Absolutely not even near enough cheese. This is a flatbread with toppings.

Bro u gotta use full fat low moisture slices of mozz in at least two layers to get that binding you want and grate fresh parm on top to better thicken and bind the top layer of the tomato sauce (which should be WAY thinner than what is presented in this recipe). Seriously y'all should consult the plethora of YouTube videos that actually get this recipe right! Take it from an actual Chicagoan! Sheesh, this recipe is an abomination and I say that in the nicest way possible you could describe a watery looking tomato sauce pie thing you've made!

I’m first. But I can’t quite bring myself to calling this tomato quiche a pizza. Neapolitan > rest
To each his own...

That's nowhere near a Chicago deep dish pizza!
