I've read about it...but I just couldn't do it. A hybrid is definitely in order. I'd love to visit Chicago; I had no idea there was a vegan pizza shortage :-(Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-13596180140525497462011-04-13T10:56:45.307-07:002011-04-13T10:56:45.307-07:00What a weird anonymous comment you got up there......What a weird anonymous comment you got up there...<br /><br />Allow me to be the first Chicago vegan to tell you that you have done us proud (Chicago and vegans)!<br /><br />I think you are right about the crust differences, the type you describe is very typical of Chicago. However, I think you should come up with a hybrid crust! <br /><br />My favorite deep dish pizza was always Giordano's, and it is the flaky buttery crust that made it. A solid inch and a half of cheese sits directly on top of the crust and it is finished off by the sauce and toppings. Chicago is the only place I've ever seen the cheese go in first (which is very common, but not the rule). My goodness what I wouldn't give for them to make me a vegan pie. Alas, I have been unable to find a vegan deep dish pizza in the city that is so famous for the dairy counterpart. I better get to work on making my own!Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-67780699836981194512011-04-12T18:41:21.502-07:002011-04-12T18:41:21.502-07:00Andrea, it was most definitely like a cake!
