Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Place the dough in a well-oiled 9-inch deep-dish pizza pan. Press the dough into the corners of the pan and up the sides to form the crust.
3. Sprinkle the cornmeal on the bottom of the crust.
4. Brush the olive oil on the crust.
5. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust, followed by pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers.
6. In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed tomatoes, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture over the toppings.
7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Bake the pizza for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This recipe yields 1 9-inch deep-dish pizza. You can add or remove toppings as you like. Some other common toppings include sausage, bacon, and olives. Enjoy your homemade Chicago-style pizza!
