Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The Martha's Vineyard corn and shiitake pie [Nina Mae Levin]

    • bwhip on August 26, 2022

      Another really tasty and unusual pizza from this cookbook, which we really enjoyed. We made in our home pizza oven, which I was able to use to separately roast the mushrooms first.

  • Peaches and cream California-style pizza [Tony Gemignani]

    • bwhip on August 26, 2022

      We decided to try some unusual pizzas last night, instead of our usual rotation using the home pizza oven. This was a great choice! I modified the recipe a bit, but results were really tasty and different. My wife hates walnuts, so I just used toasted pine nuts instead. I also wasn't able to find Gorgonzola Dolce, so I used regular, and just had to add a bunch of cream to make it possible to "dollop."

  • The Concetta [Anthony Mangieri]

    • bwhip on December 31, 2022

      Wonderful celebration of the tomato in pizza form. Simple, interesting, and quite delicious.

  • Rita Bella pizza al taglia [Derek Sanchez]

    • bwhip on December 31, 2022

      I’ve been wanting to make this one for quite a while. It just looked so unique and interesting. I modified a bit and made it in more of a Neapolitan form, rather than Al Taglio. I left the walnuts out, as my wife doesn’t like them. Otherwise, followed the recipe using my standard crust dough, in our wood-fired oven. Results were fantastic. One of our favorite pizzas ever.
