... I would love to do one of those but I am the only one in the family that likes a pizza like that!! very well done!!
I was raised in Connecticut, smack dab in the middle of the pizza belt and I grew up eating pizzas at places like Frank Pepe's and Modern. These, and others, make some of the finest NY and/or New Haven style pizzas in the US if not the entire world. I kid you not. Pizza lovers and pizza shop owners make pilgrimages to Pepe's just to see how it should be done. So I'm with your family on style preference and my standards are high. But Chicago style has a place in my heart as well.
The huge pie I put together was absolutely delicious, fed 8 people and I had leftovers to boot. Try that with a NY style pizza. No need to build the monster I did. That is for special occasions only. Try them out on a smaller one. Use a 12" CI skillet, a cake or even a paella pan and you may find them welcoming it as a change of pace. Do a stuffed pie. The crust will be familiar. Not like the biscuity deep dish pie crust which may get sneers from the uninitiated. Knife and fork required.
For those having trouble with pizzas on the grill, this style is much easier to excel at due to the lower cooking temps. No pizza oven required.
My set up kept the pan elevated over ceramic deflector plates and a 16" pizza stone as insurance against burning the bottom crust with such a long cook time.
