We really just have one goal – to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.

If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin – then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.

Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

  1. No Malnati’s. Once you get deep dish from Peaquod’s, you’ll never want any other deep dish. Seriously, nothing else compares. It’s the place that Richie went to in “The Bear”.

  2. Grew up in Chicago, still live nearby. Not a fan of deep dish. LOVE tavern style thin crust. Little Joe’s, Joe’s Italian Villa, Little Frank’s, Vito & Nicks… and the classic way is cut in squares. Cheese, sausage, onions, green pepper, and mushrooms. Nothing better!

  3. Oh, and the sausage goes on after the sauce, and if you dip your fingers in the sauce when breaking up the sausage, it doesn’t stick to your hands as much. Old Chicago bar pizza kitchen trick. Mozzarella always goes on last UNLESS you’re doing pepperoni. Then that goes on top to cup up and contain all that grease.

  4. I use a pizza docker so it stays thin. You can also par bake the rolled dough first or leave it in the fridge uncovered for a night to really get the cracker crust.

  5. Love things cracker crust pizza like from Imo's in St. Louis! You need to try provel cheese on the next one. A little goes a long way.

  6. I've watched you forever and I liked when you showed clever ways to quickly make a real meal I could watch the video a few times and be able to make something great for dinner. After watching this pizza video I thought I'm going to try this…after trying to understand the AI recipe (or am I mistaken is it a 3rd grader who wrote the clear and concise recipe sarcasm) I feel let down by your effort! This is not a recipe its the suggestion to google a real recipe and follow that! Please Sam don't settle for being mediocre when I know you can be great!

  7. I’ve never related to anything more than Sam struggling mightily with that gosh darn food processor.
    I’ve never been able to muse one of those efficiently. They always seem to kick my ass like no other kitchen appliance.
    That’s why I don’t own one!!!

  8. I know it's fashionable to dunk on deep dish, but that shit is awesome. And tavern is awesome too. We don't have to politicize pizza — eat it all!

  9. I’m not sure when Chicago started trying to steal this but my entire 50 years this has always been called Midwest pub or tavern pizza.

  10. I dated a woman in Chicago for two years, I live in Atlanta. If I would have put hot honey on a tavern style pizza she would have ended things immediately. Turns out things did end but not over pizza. Hot honey rules!

  11. Tavern style, cut in party squares. Nick n Vito’s on the southwest side invented it. Nothing beats it.
