the only way to make that combo better is with a non-deep dish pizza
I agree: deep dish pizza + Beer + another non-deep dish pizza = better combo
Do you like Beau Jeau's? Used to love to hit Idaho Springs for some Beau Jeau's and Tommyknockers.
Nice looking pie! I make my own pizza too... Never tried making Chicago style pizza before though. I stick with mostly New York style and Sicilian style pies. Nothing pairs better with homebrew then good pizza!

When it comes to homemade deep dish, the crust is the key. Storebought won't do. You've *got* to do it up yourself: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-real-chicago-deep-dish-pizza-dough/
Drool...I grew up in Chicago but now live in pizza hell where the crust is cracker-thin and the cheese is some kind of artificial rubber stuff. I've gotta learn how to make deep dish pizza myself!
Get a deep dish pizza from Pi. Or if you are in the O'Fallon area try A Better Pizza.
I'm a Chicago native and agree with you, but some good pizza can be found in the area.
The only place I would ever eat if I lived near O'fallon is 17th st BBQ...
Well not really, but dayum that is some good Q
The Black Thorn, in south city, has good deep dish pizza...and pi is good, as Spartan says. It's not that there's no good pizza, it's more that 99% of the population around here can't recognize it.

Where in So Cal are you? There are a couple of places in the IE that make good deep dish pies.

I'm in Laguna Hills (south OC).
The only place I know that does deep dish right is Tony's Little Italy in Placentia.

These guys know their stuff... When I describe it to folks, I don't refer to it as "Chicago-style" pizza... This is legit Chicago deep-dish pizza, just moved a ways west...
(Now I'm hungry, and feel the need to hop across the freeway to the place that makes the Italian Beef sandwiches!)
"Good" does not do Black Thorn justice. Incredible. But be prepared to wait 1.5 hours from when you order the deep dish.

On the gripping hand, I grew up about 40 miles from Manhattan, so I know New York style a lot better to begin with. A good thin crust pizza is something special in it's own right, and hard to find in most of the country. Sadly, the only really good place nearby closed up recently.
