Pepe's Voted Top Pizza of 50 Best Things to Eat

Albert at Pepe's on Wooster Street Hey we knew it all the time. Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven , Connecticut, makes some of the best pizza on the planet. It's always nice to get global recognition, however. An article written by, Killian Fox from the Observer lists the 50 Best Things to Eat in the World . Right there at Number 31, is Pepe's! Here is what he said: "You could generate enough heat to fuel a brick oven with the argument over which country bakes the world's best pizza: Italy, where the concept originated, or America, where it was globalised. Neapolitan purists will make pilgrimages to hotspots such as La Sorrentina, outside Naples, whose chef has won the prestigious Naples Pizza Championship, but we contend that the upstart Yanks do it better.

Best Flour for Pizza

Image
When I first started to make pizza, I always thought flour did not matter. To me, flour was flour. all purpose was the same as bread flour. And I had never heard of high gluten flour.  High gluten flour is the type of flour most pizzerias use when they make pizza. It makes for a tastier dough, with more snap and crunch.  If you can find high gluten flour use it! While you can certainly get satisfactory results with All-purpose flour, I think that using a high gluten flour will give you a better taste. So what flour do I recommend. I have found very good results with  Caputo  Flour.  It is a flour imported from Italy. I have met the owner of  Caputo  flour as well as some of his master pizzaiolo. You can actually go on a video tour of the  Caputo  flour factory with my friend Sky Dylan Robbins. Check it out at this link,  Caputo Flour from Pizza Therapy. http://pizzatherapy.com/caputo.ht...

The great pizza in New York stayed in New York. The inside secrets of the best New York pizza remained in the boroughs and neighborhoods where it was created.
