Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza

Chicago-Style Stuffed Pizza Baked in a Cast-Iron Pan

Kurt
Chicago is the home of the stuffed pizza, and I've been missing it since we moved to Colorado. (Sorry, Old Chicago, your pizzas don't even come close!) I finally decided to make one myself. It turned out pretty well, and I'm wondering why I waited so long to try it!
