John Arena is an icon in the Las Vegas pizza industry. Watch how he talks about the ingredients and passion that goes into every pizza which unites the community around him. He not only feeds bodies but souls.
From http://legendsofpizza.com/blog In this video I speak with Tom Ianucci of Pietro’s Pizza on Kauai. The interview was recorded at Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Tom who is also a Pastor, explains how his journey with pizza started over 30 years ago when he moved to Kauai and could find no great pizza. Tom took it upon himself to not only lear about making pizza but how to start a pizza business. Tommy Iannucci moved to Kauai in the 80’s and was distressed to find he could not get a decent slice of his favorite food: pizza.
He went on a pizza quest and made the commitment to learn to make great pizza. At first it was at home in his kitchen, then he built a brick oven in his driveway. He began by making pizza for friends, family, neighbors and anyone else who loved pizza. He made lots of pizzas and most importantly he shared them. Not satisfied with his skills, he traveled the world learning the craft. As Tommy explains he visited known and unknown pizzerias. He trained in New York, Rome, Las Vegas and even trained in Naples under pizza The pizza business part started at Pizza Expo…let’s get his story….
30 years in the making, a great chef named Chris Bianco has written a great book about making great pizza at home.
His very funny friend Aziz Ansari is obsessed with learning how to make the perfect pizza so Chris shows him how. Aziz learns that you shouldn’t necessarily follow a recipe - and that repetition, feeling, and great ingredients are vital to making a great pizza.
Here is a great video about making and stretching Neapolitan pizza dough.
You can watch as the pizziolo stretched the dough and gently pulls it to get the right shape.
You do not want to use a rolling pin to form your pizza dough.
Watch the hand movements in this video which will help you get a good technique to work with the dough.
The pizza maker also reminds you to use a clean surface when you work the dough. You do not want anything on your surface. You need to make sure it is very clean.
This video shows the proper technique to work the pizza dough.
If you are
looking for great pizza on Kauai, you need to check out Pietro’s Pizza.
They are
located at the Harbor Mall in Lihue on 3501 Rice Street.
You can
discover a wide variety of New York style pizza as well as authentic Neapolitan
pizza cooked in an actual wood fired oven. Pietro’s is the first (and as far as
I know), only certified Neapolitan pizzeria in the entire state of Hawaii.
I recommend
the Don, which is an authentic New York style pizza.
I was
astounded at the taste of this simple cheese slice. Hey I thought I was in New
York.
Don’t limit
yourself to just one taste as there are many other pizza asventures to choose
from: Maybe you want to sample a cousin of the Don, The Don Ho which is made
with Portuguese sausage and kalua pig. Or maybe another relative: the Don Pietro:
straight, pepperoni which as you know is an American classic.
In my
experience a pizza place is only as good as the pizza maker or pizzaiolo who
lovingly creates the[FB1] pizza by hand.
Tommy
Iannucci moved to Kauai in the 80’s and was distressed to find he could not get
a decent slice of his favorite food: pizza.
He went on a
pizza quest and made the commitment to learn to make great pizza. At first it
was at home in his kitchen, then he built a brick oven in his driveway. He began
by making pizza for friends, family, neighbors and anyone else who loved pizza.
He made lots of pizzas and most
importantly he shared them.
Not
satisfied with his skills, he traveled the world learning the craft. As Tommy
explains he visited known and unknown pizzerias. He trained in New York, Rome,
Las Vegas and even trained in Naples under pizza master Enzo Croccia. The result of his quest was to bring great pizza to
the Island of Kauai and create his own pizzeria.
Tommy named
Pietro’s Pizza after his grandfather and brother. They are both sadly gone but
their spirit and love of all things Italian and pizza lives on at Pietro’s.
Now you too,
can enjoy a little slice of New York and authentic Neapolitan pizza on the
beautiful Island of Kauai.
Check out
Pietro’s at the
Harbor Mall in Lihue,
3051 Rice Street.
