The best pizza style you didn't know about.

Bacon & Pepperoni Detroit Deep Dish Pizza

Winter means it’s time for some pizzas that take longer to bake. There’s no better way to heat your house than with pizza.

Decided to take a crack at a Detroit deep dish pizza tonight. It’s a thicker dough pushed into a well-oiled 9x13 pan. Then, in Detroit style, the toppings go on in reverse order. First the pepperoni and bacon, then the cheese, and lastly, some stripes of tomato sauce.

Placement in the oven is key for this type of pizza. You don’t want the cheese to get too brown before the bottom is crispy, or vice versa. I could have moved it down one spot and it would have been perfect.

Overall, it was very good! I think I did pretty good for a first attempt at Detroit deep dish. Now I just need a real Detroit deep dish pan.
