Homemade Chicago Style Pizza

Warning!  This recipe is so not good for you!  But, it is soooooo delicious!  By far, this is my husband's favorite meal I cook.  It is also requested by several family members when they come to visit.  We usually reserve it for special occasions.  At least, it is better for you than ordering out greasy pizza.  This is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
