What type/where to get pan for Chicago Gino's, Malnati's style pizza

[jeremyp4]

Hello there,

I just returned from a trip to Chicago and ate at Gino's East, Giardano's (sp?), and Lou Malnati's - all were fantastic.  I now have a very strong craving to re-create this type of pizza at home.  I have been making home made pizza for years, all new york and st. louis style thin crust though.  I am in need for the type of pan that these restaurants use.  Could any of you direct me as to what type (material, size) would be best and where to get them?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

www.Pizzatools.com offers a large selection of deep dish pans. Also www.alliedmetalusa.com has many sizes and thickness
They both have a great product you want dark and heavy at least 1 1/2 -2" tall on side. As far as making the pizza BTB has a wonderful thread dedicated to Malnatis that is fun easy and taste AWSOME http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6480.0.html read the whole thing and youll be on your way!
Good luck
John
