Pizza talk thread

ryan stewart · 08-18-2021, 11:20 AM

NP. That is about as formulaic as I could get it, I honestly do it from memory now. A lot of it is feel and look of the dough. Like said I basically made a pizza a week for 6 months until I got it figured out, that way I could remember my tweaks and the impacts it had.

Also you can play with other flours in that mix too as long as the total grams stays the same. Ive played with AP, bread, etc but ended up going back to the softer Italian wheat flour.

Ive had dough resting and now the sauce flavors marrying for two pizzas tonight, having the neighbors over. One is going to be a calabrian chili sausage pizza (aka an arribiata) and then the other is going to be the classic margherita for the weaklings.

Favorite NY pizza is Johnny’s in Mt. Vernon. Favorite CT pizza is Sally’s in New Haven.

Tony's in North Beach San Francisco is the best pizza I've ever had. It's consistently excellent no matter what style of pizza they make. The wait there is hours on end for a reason.

Serious Pie in Seattle is pretty damn good but Tony's is in a class of its own.

I've never actually had Tony's at the restaurant itself.... the wait is always ridiculous. So I've only ever taken it for carryout anytime I visit SF and take it back to the hotel. I'd love to one day have it fresh at the restaurant.

Yeah I had to do that my first time around. Now every time I visit SF I make sure I go. Gotta arrive early for a dinner reservation. Thankfully North Beach is a wonderful place to kill time. Lunchtime it's easier to get a table.

Try their Detroit style next time. Even in Detroit they don't make it half as good as Tony's does.

I hate how hungry this thread makes me. And how much I want to try a pizza oven now.

Lou Malnati's is one of the thinnest deep dish pizzas so if you weren't a huge fan of that then you definitely wouldn't like any of the other options

Is Giordanos crap now?

Back in the day I liked theirs but then last time I went back after moving to Atlanta (this was already a few years ago) it sucked. Same model but the execution was shit. At least Dave was still tending bar at Rush back then.

It's hit or miss.... They've expanded all over the country so you're bound to get varying experiences. Sometimes they're pretty delicious and other times you just know they're having an off-day.

Quelle surprise

Just had my pizza party last night for the neighbors. If youre in Atlanta and like the arrabiata pizza from antico check out the callabrian chili salami from spotted trotter. The perfect amount of heat when fried on the pizza.

KenB925 · 08-19-2021, 10:28 AM

I've been wanting to make pizza for a couple of weeks, but with these damn fires out in Northern CA I'm not going to light the oven.
