American hot pizza pie
Blend the most widely eaten pizza in the UK, the American Hot, with the classic Chicago pizza pie (which was cooked in the tin because coal, the local fuel in Chicago, was turning the pizza bases black), and something magical happens. Served in this way, with leftover spiced pork and a kick from the chillies, the flavours are off the chart.
