Dedicated pizza flour but bro I heard it’s just bread flour? And whatever yeast is the little packets? Tbh I’ve been struggling with my dough. Too thick and chewy. I’m also looking for semolina flour to prevent sticking and probably should buy a rolling pin and bigger board to roll on.
00 flour
Dry yeast, activated w warm water but not much past 100F

You don't need semolina. Flour works just as well. Watch vito iacopelli on yt.

Im also dealing with baking at high at altitude?
I ordered two pizza making books on Amazon that I need to get to. Ones about just neopolitical style pizzas and the other is about contest winning recipes if I recall.

It's far from traditional, but I love CPK.
Mario's in Westwood Villiage used to make an outstandingly light thin crust (haven't ben for about 10 years though - dunno if they're still there.)
Lamonica's, also in Westwood, is my favorite place from ultra-greasy pie by the slice.

But I still haven't found a great pizza place here in the HB/SB/Newp area. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bawling.gif" alt="" />
Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

LMFAO!

This, exactly. Fruit on pizza is a crime against humanity. Also illegal in several jurisdictions including mine.
So no tomato sauce for you then. OK. I think it's more the mixing of red sauce and pineapple. I do like a good "Hawaiian" pizza now and then though.

Fruit on a white pie (bianco) is pretty good. There was a place in Aptos, Pizza 101, that made pretty good pizzas. They did one with pears, and sausage from Corralitos Market. That was one helluva pizza. So good.

Fig and prosciutto on a white pie is pretty good too.

What's a true crime against humanity is chicken on a pizza. BBQ chicken pizza, fuckoff.

That's an interesting thought. I love all the ingredients, but never had chicken on pizza where I wanted it again. Would never say it was terrible, but it never quite works. I'd imagine someone can pull it off, but I haven't come across it.
