Naples is the worst part of Italy, too. Maybe pizza corrupts people into becoming lazy. Makes you think.

What if I told you it was with flaky pastry? So not only it was the wrong shape, but also had the wrong type of pizza base. Truly, an abomination. Right?

When I go to our local pizza place that makes Official Italian Pizza I always order the pizza Margherita, one of the Approved Pizzas from the Pizza Rules so meticulously outlined upthread. But I ask them to add black olives, so I guess I'm a Pizza Criminal. :italy:

That last one is pizza though. It's the most basic form, just the base ingredients, I don't know why you have this weird hangup over it.

Basic pizza can be good or bad. Crazy artisanal pizzas can be good or bad. Just because it's expensive and hip doesn't make it good, nor does being cheap and affordable. Jesus.

According to the rules proposed by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana,
There's a pizza place in town that's certified by these guys. They use a bigass wood stove and their pizza is the best I've ever had in terms of quality and composition. The dough is absolutely loving perfect, and the only way the usual North American grease pizza can compare is when I'm drunk or hungover as gently caress.

Finally, that coveted goon self-awareness.


If it really helps, I was at a fair the other day where every single stand had Langos, but only plain, fried dough. Not a single drop of sour cream or garlic topping or Nutella or whatever else you can put on those delicious things in sight. That was weird to me and I didn't get any, but until now I didn't go onto the internet to scream how every Austrian is a loving weirdo for liking their Langos plain.

How to make a genuine New York pizza: http://www.varasanos.com/pizzarecipe.htm

quote:

On most ovens the electronics won't let you go above 500F, about 300 degrees short of what is needed. (Try baking cookies at 75 instead of 375 and see how it goes). The heat is needed to quickly char the crust before it has a chance to dry out and turn into a biscuit. At this temp the pizza takes 2 - 3 min to cook (a diff of only 25F can change the cook time by 50%). It is charred, yet soft. At 500F it takes 20 minutes to get only blond in color and any more time in the oven and it will dry out. I've cook good pizzas at temps under 725F, but never a great one. The cabinet of most ovens is obviously designed for serious heat because the cleaning cycle will top out at over 975 which is the max reading on my Raytec digital infrared thermometer. The outside of the cabinet doesn't even get up to 85F when the oven is at 800 inside. So I clipped off the lock using garden shears so I could run it on the cleaning cycle. I pushed a piece of aluminum foil into the door latch (the door light switch) so that electronics don't think I've broken some rule by opening the door when it thinks it's locked.

This works really well up until you open the oven door, accidentally get a drop of sauce on the glass, and shatter it.

quote:

I make sure that I cover any oven glass loosely with 2 layers of foil because it will shatter if a drop of sauce gets on it. With the foil it's fine. I make sure the foil is loose. If it's fitted to the glass, it will transfer heat too quickly and the glass is still in jeopardy. Another problem is that once the cleaning cycle starts, it just pumps heat into the oven and I can't reduce the temp. If I get a late start (my guests are late or my dough needs another 30 minutes to rise), I can't just shut off the oven and then start it up again in 15 minutes. Once I cancel the cleaning cycle, I can't start it up again until the oven cools below 500F (at least on my Kitchen Aid oven). Therefore I have to wait and cycle back around. It's like an hour ordeal. But I have worked around these issues and I now have enough experience that I can pretty much control my temperature. I can cool the stone, for example, by placing a metal sheet pan on it for a minute or so. It will absorb a tremendous amount of heat very quickly. I never do this with Teflon which releases unseen toxic chemicals over 600F. I Remove this pan with the peel, rather than with oven mitts to prevent burns. Occasionally I also place something in the door jam, like a meat mallet, for a few minutes to let heat out.

I'm sure you can get really good thin-crust pizza doing this (and believe me, I love a good thin-crust pizza), but it doesn't seem worth the risk.

Yeah. I liked it better when it was vaguely unsettling because he didn't talk and the violence was less predictable. Also, the jump cuts are new and disorienting, and not in a good way. I liked it better when it was less... produced.
