The coziest zodiac sign of them all, Taurus with a deep-dish pizza is a match made in heaven, especially since the Chicago classic is a hug in pizza form. Think of it this way, both are very all or nothing. In this case, that means a pizza that’s got all those layers of crisp edges, loads of butter, and crazy cheese pulls. For our take, what we ended up with was a crispy crust on the bottom, still fluffy on the outer edges, and a pool of cheese weighted down by sausage and deeply savory, slightly sweet crushed tomato sauce.
