Tavern pizza, the original Chicago-style pie, has a super thin, crispy crust with almost no rise. The toppings used here are a great combo of spicy and sweet — the pickled pepperoncini add a nice acidic balance to the pepperoni and cheese. Customize to your liking. Using a rolling pin to fully flatten the edges of the crust is different from how you would normally shape a pizza crust but this helps keep it thin. Add red chile flakes and Parmesan to finish.

  • 1/4 cups all-purpose flour: 1 piece (plus more for dusting)
  • granulated sugar: 1 tsp
  • instant yeast: 0.75 tsp
  • kosher salt: 0.5 tsp
  • plus 3 tablespoons cold water: 0.25 cup
  • extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing: 1 Tbsp
  • cornmeal, for dusting:
  • marinara sauce, divided (such as Rao’s®): 0.5 cup
  • low-moisture mozzarella cheese: 1 cup (shredded)

  1. Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a food processor and process until combined, about 3 seconds. With processor running, slowly pour cold water and oil through the food chute and process until dough forms a sticky ball that clears the sides of the bowl, 45 seconds to 1 minute.

  2. Lighly oil a work surface and set dough ball on top; knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Shape dough into a tight ball and place in a large bowl greased with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise at room temperature until almost doubled in size, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and gently re-shape into a ball. Coat dough ball lightly with flour and flatten into an 8-inch disk using your fingertips. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 12‑inch circle, dusting dough lightly with flour as needed.
