Nice job! That pizza looks plenty tasty!  
It does look like you went light on the sauce and heavy on the cheese though (maybe just light on sauce ;-) ).
I would have blanketed that pizza in crushed tomatoes. :-)

Thanks for trying out my recipe that I see you managed to locate
(on Lesson 3 of Deep Dish 101 at http://RealDeepDish.com).

Nice to see people getting good results.

Yea I went a little bit lighter on the tomatoes because I wanted to make sure they cooked all the way through.  Total cook time was 27 minutes.

King Arthur all purpose should work fine as well.  Is that available in Canada?

Bob, check the nutrition labels on your local brands of all-purpose flour. The Ceresota brand has a 22g carb to 3g protein, with 1g each fiber and sugar making up part of that 22 grams of carbs.
If they have the same or similar carb component listings, they are probably the same thing.

pythonic,

You must have me confused with that CDNpielover guy (his photo looks like a character from Chicago!)....I don't know what kind of flour he has but he sure makes some mighty fine look'in pizzas up there in Canada!    I'm in North Carolina via Chicago. 

Vcb got me straight....thanks to both of you.

   See, this is just the sort of thing that I'm talk'in about when I say that I wish there was some type of "tips an tricks" section available....good, solid, fast, basic info. Thanks again Ed, sorry for the rant!
