Secrets Inside the Pizzeria Interview

Secrets Inside the Pizzeria

I recently got a copy of a great video tutorial on how to make pizza created by Bev Collins. It's called "Secret's Inside the Pizzeria". It was a simple guide with easy to understand tips about making pizza.

I decided to call up Bev and see if I could pull any more pizza secrets out of her.

I recorded the entire call.

It was a great pizza conversation. We covered a lot of information.

She is an interesting pizzaiolo.

First she never had pizza until she was 16. Here first pizza was out of a pizza kit. (Think Apian Way and Chef Boy Ardee...)

But somehow she persisted. She studied, she learned. She was tenacious. She didn't give up. Now she makes pizza like a master.

Some of the things we discussed were:

  • pizza tools you need
  • the best type of flour to use
  • her take on other pizza ingredients
  • the fact that you can have great ingredients but still not make great pizza
  • It's all about all in the technique.
  • Excellent step by step directions to make dough
  • Some inside tips on why your dough needs to be cold
  • Why you need to proof your pizza

"This is a great step by step guide to making pizza.
As you may know, I've been making pizza for over 20 years.
I own a copy of Secrets Inside the Pizzeria, myself.
Can you teach an old pizza dog, new pizza tricks?
Yes you can.
I recommend this video series by Bev Collins."
