The best pizza?

[GT3rennsport]

I really shouldn't get involved in this as I live on the Lower East Side of Manhattan but I have to say Sal at Rosarios makes the best pie in the area, there is alot of crappy pizza in NYC but there is a ton of great pizza!! I love pizza but would rather that NYC had great waves!

I’ve had pizza once in NYC, and it was good for sure. Is pizza notoriously good in NY because of the water in the crust? Granted there is a lot of reasons it could be great

I miss pizza, but since I read how much sodium is in 2 pieces… that and a few other foods I’ve just stopped eating… but I sure miss it

Get yourself an Ooni (game changing gear, really) and make your own pizza. Then you'll be able to control the sodium level and other ingredients.

Thank you!! Now my wife can roll out crust with a rolling pin rather than hitting me with it. Getting older sucks.. gotta watch the BP baby..

Yep, a pizza pie.
This was from Friday night. My wife snuck in some green bell pepper so it wasn't epic but still really good.

I hope that tasted as good as it looks
Good pictures trip me out big time

It was pretty good. But I'm not a huge fan of green bell peppers and she snuck some in on me.
Yeah, pictures can be deceiving. If the result is sub par, I don't post a picture or I will comment that it wasn't good and why. We've been on a roll lately so we're due for a dog soon.

This is the dough recipe I use. I like to slurry the yeast with a bit of sugar (see below) and the water at 100F for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to foam, then add that to the rest of the dry ingredients.

The above would be for Italian style, for American style I add an equal ratio of oil and sugar to the salt. Gives the crust a bit more caramelization but doesn’t taste sweet IMO

Not bad but didn't preheat the "stone" enough so the crust in the center of the pie could have been a bit crisper. Still better than just about any local parlor's offering.

Anybody else frequent Boston Wildflower Pizza on Main St. In Santa Monica back in the day? We'd stop there on the way home from all day surf sessions at Surfrider and get an extre large "the works." There was a nice patio in the back (I've alwahys preferred outdoor dining). Man that hit the spot.

My other favorite place is "nono risorto." Another outdoor dining experience. If you ever happen to be in Venice...Italy.

I dont Pizza Hut because it SUCK!!!
Abbbots in Venice and when work on outboard engine at Redondo goto Paesanos in Hermosa because their pizza is BITCHING!!!

Re-heated pizza hits different. Would never say it's better than fresh out the over, but re-heating a few slices on just the oven wire racks and getting that slice super crispy is real nice. The only issue is the cheese dripping in yo oven. I noticed if you put a baking sheet or even foil on the lower rack to try and catch it doesn't crisp the same.

Is that the before or after? My oven needs a new door and the guy that’s gonna make it is out of town until the end of the month. I have been thinking about tearing the current oven out and putting in one with a shape and size more suited for pizza. The same guy can do that.

Tried making some dough last minute at home. Used a 1 hr recipe, but let it proof at room temp for 2 hours. Came out light and airy.


fried the bottom in olive oil, then took the torch to the top:


check out the air in the crust:


I'm just trying to figure out the frying part. The bottom is super crunchy. It's cheating. If you fry the top, too, then it gets burnt w/ the torch. Any topping sticking up gets burnt, too. I think the best application for frying is to fry just the bottom, then stick it on a pizza stone and broil the top in the oven until the toppings boil. Don't throw away your pizza stones.

Edit: homemade San Marzano tomato sauce.

Had Giovanni's in Mammoth yesterday evening.
Quality has waned over the years but washed down with a beer, it certainly hit the spot after 6.5 hours on the road.
