The place Tommy Lasorda always talked about when the Los Angeles Dodgers come in to play the Chicago Cubs. Nothing like Deep Dish Pizza 🍕 Viva los concineros
Yep I was a manager in training for a new store back in 2001 and I worked at Connie's mother store ( Archers ) for almost a year before going to my store.
This video was taken for an order for a local business that ordered 250 pizzas, so they were made and delivered instantly. Connie's Pizza is a restaurant so they don't make pizzas ahead of time, only to order.
@@curiously_TV I was wondering the same thing (if they were ordered or made ahead of time). It's impressive to see how so many pizzas are made, in a very short períod of time. Thank you for sharing this
I will say it again no exaggeration, I saw them from start to in the pizza trucks 1000 pies go out in 56 minutes. No bull....I timed it. The amazing thing is Shammel ( the kitchen manager at the time ) did not lose 1 pizza.
@@curiously_TV yep you haven't seen when the taste of Chicago is on. We go crazy. We'll do 1500 pizzas a day there and 1000 at Wriggly Field and another 1000 at the Sox Stadium. Plus our regular business.
@@pphedup Aww man...how is that possible when you lived here 🤦🏿♂️ lol. Their frozen pizza is hands down the best in stores...but it doesn't do the restaurant experience any justice. You have got to go to the next time you're in Chicago 💯
Connies has the only middleweight thickness pizza that I have enjoyed. I generally like pizza either super thin or deep dish. Connies has good crust and quality toppings. Sadly the suburban locations have closed so Archer is the only choice. The frozen are not as good.
Looking at those delicious pizza I am sure I can finish off one these alone with no problem. Now to convince the us Embassy here to grant me a visa. Would going to eat Connie's pizza be a good reason
The dough they use is the same they've used for 50 years. it does get puffy when cooked, but it's fairly light for a deep dish. The owner himself has referred to it more as a focaccia type texture.
Actually you can buy it straight from Connie's. Call up Connie's and they will make you a fresh one put it in dry ice and shipped to you that day. Going to be a bit expensive being the pie weights 3 lbs .
Connie's does have a version of a stuffed pizza where there is an extra layer of crust on top of the cheese, but the crust is always on the bottom first then topped with sauce, toppings, and then cheese.
that's comforting to know. @16:07 the guy handling raw meat might be the same guy digging his hands into the cheese for my vegetarian pizza. * crossing Connie's off the list of pizza joints to try across America * is that the same slicer for ALL the pizzas? Do you just not know or Do you just don't care? WTF?! Shame on Connie's. Los Veganos tambien son Personas!
@@nimaakhtarkhavari8766 al menos los veganos no estan preocupados por la enfermedad de las vacas locas... excepto cuando se come pizza vegetariana hecha por cocineros a los que no les importa. lol
Probably less than 1% of orders at this restaurant are for the vegan pizzas. How are you so sure that they don't use different gloves or knives for vegan pizzas? People and businesses shouldn't change their entire operation so that they can accommodate a few loud, angry outliers like yourself. Call the restaurant yourself to find out their process for vegan pizzas instead of assuming from one video you watched.
@@curiously_TV Yes I Agree , I Have Bulk Pks Of VIENNA BEEF Beef Franks And Polish Sausage In My Deep Freezer (Thank Goodness They Ship ! LOL ) , I Also Have Jars Of Vienna Beef Brand Chicago Green Relish, Sport Peppers And Gardineria In My Cupboard ! 😁😁😁🤤🤤🤤💯💯💯
@Vegas Eddie What I think is that all the restaurants I have spent most of my life working in always had health departments requiring proper cleaning and sanitation, proper food handling and storage, proper handwashing, and they required gloves. I am ServSafe certified for over 20 years (look it up if you don't know what it is). I understand well how heating to 165°F kills bacteria. I also understand how there are foods in restaurants that are not cooked to 165 or not cooked at all. And I have seen things in kitchens way worse than foot lettuce (again, look that up if you don't know). Wearing gloves may not be necessary in this case, but it puts customers at ease when they don't see you washing your hands.
If you have sausage or pepperoni on a pizza, you're putting meat in your mouth that's come off a dead animal that was slaughtered several days, if not weeks, before. And no, I'm not a vegetarian. When I worked in my dad's food processing business in Chicago, we washed our hands over thirty times a day, using the foot pedal sink installed in the same room. Don't worry, their hands are probably cleaner than a surgeon's.
I worked at a pizza place & it was my favorite job ever! It closed down😢 I MAKE HOMEMADE PIZZA BETTER THAN THIS SLOPPY SHODDY JOB PLUS I use secret ingredients & stuff my crusts! I make 18" pizaas
To all you tourists in these comments... Connie's has never been the best pizza in Chicago...not in the top 20...and deep dish pizza is tourist pizza. Not pizza locals eat on the regular. Our original Chicago style pizza is tavern style, thin, butter crust and cut into squares.
?? Connie's is not in the top because it's off the beaten path and in Bridgeport. If people want to eat tourist pizza then they can go to Lou's or Giordano's. Connie's is south side, old school started on 26th street and been there for 60 years.
@@MilVukovic Connie's is good...don't get me wrong. But Connie's isn't in the top not necessarily because where it's located...it's actually a booming location. It's due to Home Run Inn holding the top 10 spots on my list 🤷🏿♂️ lmao

Like a well oiled machine.

First of all in real deep dish the cheese 🧀 goes on the bottom... Alta on top.

I thought Chicago pizza was cooked upside down, cheese in the bottom, crust on the top. Maybe thats just one particular technique.
Connie's does have a version of a stuffed pizza where there is an extra layer of crust on top of the cheese, but the crust is always on the bottom first then topped with sauce, toppings, and then cheese.
I wonder how many hairs were found over the years in peoples pizza. Ol boy making pizzas was on that short-sleeved uniform.
Sauce THEN cheese? Nah. Like mine the other way around.

Chicago Deep Dish Bread....because i can´t see any pizza here. Pizza is only italian
