Your bar pizza (the recipe from the class you did) and John's tavern style pizza are both in my permanent pizza rotation when I'm not using the Ooni. Having lived in Chicago for a few years way back in the 80's, John's style is near and dear to my heart!
Chicago people don’t call them “pies”. That’s an east-coast appellation. If you’re going to talk “Chicago authentic”, call them “pizzas”. Sorry, I know “pie” is the trendy term, but native-Chicagoans don’t use it. EVER.
South sider here. Never once happed in my life and my sister has been working for a pizza shop (Phil’s Pizza, Oak Lawn, go get some!) for years. It may have changed in the last 10 years on the North Side. I’ll never use it.
Yup, Tavern 👍

This one's somewhat updated because Never Stop Futzing is on the family coat of arms. In, uh, Latin or something.
Looking forward to the revised version because I think the original one in the cookbook is pretty awesome!

Michael - I think you are going to have to take this one up with John, because he's a North Side native and uses "pie" all the time himself.
