Oh my goodness, the cast iron is such a great idea - why have I never thought of that? It would give such a crispy crust, the way Deep Dish needs to be...I can't wait to try this!

Once again, you make me blush! I agree, sun about the cast iron. We all have it but pizza? No way!
Thanks for lovin' this, momo. Krum, I never thought of it either but it would almost make the crust taste as though it were fried, wouldn't it? Thanks for the five, guys. xoxoxo
