1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 375°F


Wait until the oven is fully heated! A fully heated oven will make sure that the pizza comes out hot and delicious. You want to make sure that your oven is nice and toasty! While you’re waiting for your oven to preheat, make sure to recycle our packaging!

2. PLACE PIZZA IN CENTER RACK OF OVEN


Place the pizza in the center of the oven. If the pizza is too close to the bottom of the oven, the crust will burn, and if it is too high in the oven, it won’t cook properly! Do not put the pizza on a pan or stone, as it will affect the cooking process. If you’re worried about cheese falling onto the bottom of your oven, you can place a cookie sheet at the bottom of your oven to catch anything that falls.

 
 

3. BAKE FOR 40-50 MINUTES


You want to make sure that your deep dish pizza reaches an internal temperature of 165°F! If you don’t have a thermometer, a good way to tell is if the sauce is bubbling. When pizza is done, we recommend using a spatula to scoot the pizza out of the oven and onto a surface that you can cut on, such as a cutting board or large plate. Make sure to wear oven mitts, as oven burns are not fun!

4. LET REST FOR 5-10 MINUTES


To make sure that your pizza is set, and to prevent all of your toppings, cheese, and sauce from going everywhere when you try to cut it, let your pizza sit for five to ten minutes! To cut your pizza, we recommend using a large chefs knife, as a regular pizza cutter might not do the trick!

 

TIPS AND TRICKS FROM THE EXPERTS

  • If you’re looking to get the ultimate cheese pull to impress all of your followers, we recommend cutting all the way through the crust, but not cutting the tip of the slice of pizza all the way through. That way, when the piece is lifted, the cheese will still be connected to the rest of the pizza and will result in a glorious cheese pull!

  • Just like a regular thin crust, you can add your own toppings! We encourage you to get creative, but remember, any wet ingredients may change the texture of the sauce and cheese.

  • Don’t forget the sprinkle of parmesan cheese and the red pepper flakes for the true Chicago slice!

  • Recycle your packaging! All of our packaging is recycling friendly.
