You betcha!
I have a pizza cookbook book from the late 1980s by James McNair called "Pizza":
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0877014485
It has only one deep dish recipe, but that has served us well for a long time. (I also worked at a good pizza place the midwest and learned some stuff about pizza-making there, before I worked in a terrible hole-in-the-wall pizza place in Boston called Presto's and nearly un-learned everything good about pizza.)(OK, almost: their Sicilian was all right.)
There is a lot of info about deep dish pizza floating around online, and I encourage you to try a few different recipes/methods. Letting the dough rise in the pan is key, and so is a light coating of oil on the pan to keep the dough from cooking right to the pan. Your pans may darken over time from the oil, which is natural. (One place I worked had pans that were a deep, coal black color from so many years of use!)
Good luck and have fun!
Oh yes, that's one of my favorites! I've used the recipe in this book for years, and it always comes out great. I do mine with ground sausage, spinach, mushrooms, mozzarella, fontina, and a little white cheddar inside. The fresh sauce on top is incredibly flavorful too. Here's a photo of one in a 16" Dutch oven from a campout.
