Here is a great video which gives some wonderful tips about making your own home-made pizza. According to the video creator: All right. So in Italy guys, pizza is every day. It's not something we're going to home make for a special occasion or because they have an empty Sunday afternoon. They do it every day because it's that approachable. It's that easy. If you think about the dough, all you need is flour, water, which I know 90 percent of you already have at home, and then a 79 cent packet of yeast. That's how fast the flour comes together, with the yeast, the water, and it makes a homemade dough that's just so much better than buying it anywhere else. I think the advice here is very sound for anyone who is making pizza for the first time. If you have not worked with dough before you may want to start using a rolling pin  (Click on this link to discover rolling pins ). However, once you have some experience with handling dough you may find that you c...

This is a very helpful video on how to stretch pizza dough. While this may have a bit of a learning curve, the more you practice with pizza dough the better you will become. Practice to make your pizza turn into a masterpiece. If you proofed your pizza dough in the fridge, remember to allow your pizza dough to warm up to room temperature. This is very important if you want to be able to form your dough ball correctly. In the video, you will notice a six finger technique to initially form the dough ball into the correct shape. I like what Mark Bello suggests at ( Pizza A Casa Pizza School ). Mark calls the technique, soft bongos, that is lightly tapping your dough ball as you would a bongo drum. Think: "soft bongos" as you get your pizza into the right shape. After the dough has been shaped you can hand stretch your dough into the correct shape> You already have everything you need to make pizza in your own kitchen. If you are ready you take your pizza to the next le...

He states empahtically that "Las Vegas tap" water makes great pizza. Mark goes through every step to create pizza. He used a dough press to stretch the dough. This was amazing in itself.

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...

Just when you thought things could not get any stranger...these two guys have an entire lobster placed on a pizza... And the very strange thing is they did not take it out of the shell first... Well you'll just have to see this for yourself and let me know what you think... It does look very good!

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 create...
