I grew up in Medford, Wisconsin, the home of the first frozen pizza: Tombstone Pizza! It started in a bar located across the street from a graveyard. My dad worked at the bar making pizzas for his friend who owned it. When the pizzas stared to get popular, my dad’s friend asked him if he wanted to be a part of the business. He politely said no since my grandpa owned a plumbing business and my dad always knew he was destined to be a plumber, which he is to this day, but he also makes some awesome pizzas!
This recipe is inspired by one of my dad’s recipes, but naturally I made the crust ketogenic. This deep dish crust is denser and has a creamier mouthfeel than the deep dish crust, which is airier and lighter. Either crust will work for the toppings in any of the pizza recipes, but follow the cooking times indicated with each recipe.
