Tony Gemignani, pizza grasp and restaurateur
I’m pondering of New 12 months’s resolutions as I write this. Normally, a weight loss plan is on most of our lists. Slicing carbs is half the battle, so why not begin the yr off with a cracker thin/tavern pizza referred to as “The Deluxe”? This can be a Chicago pizza normal. It sometimes has Italian sausage, inexperienced bell peppers, mushrooms and onions. This fashion of pizza is historically reduce into squares, and it’s one of the crucial frequent combos to any Chicagoan. I favor roasting purple bell pepper strips fairly than utilizing chopped inexperienced bell peppers. Additionally, I don’t use simply any mushroom, however favor sautéed button mushrooms. As an alternative of white and diced onions, I take advantage of sliced purple onions. Add hand-pinched Italian sausage, and this combo is a timeless basic. Right here’s to 2021!
