That being said, Schlotsky’s has some serious pizza, but I never go there for anything but the original on rye.
If you like Schlotsky’s, scroll to nearly the bottom of the linked page. The instructions make it sound more complicated than it is. Really, it’s super simple to make an Original at home. Don’t know about the rye though. I ran the numbers and can make 5 Originals at home with minimal effort for the price of 1 store bought. I’ve since tweaked the bun recipe by adding 1/4 C more flour to make 6 buns which brings the homemade cost down even further. The only other change is leaving off the genoa salami because it’s not sold around here but taste-wise it isn’t missed. I bake the dough recipe (with the extra 1/4 C flour) in a total of 6 small 6” pyrex pie plates and 6” Corning Ware pans/bowls with handles.
