Marechiaro's Original Italian Food Makes Incredible Pizza

Image
A member of The Pizza Therapy Community, our man Coda , shares his insights on The Best Pizza in the World: For the past fifteen years or so, there was a place out in Riverside (It's gone now) that was probably entitled to claim that they made my "Favorite" pizza. I wouldn't go so far as to claim that they were the "World's Best" but it was darn good. Driving on the 91 fwy during rush hour made it difficult to visit them very often and now the restaurant is gone. (sigh) Oh well. Anyway, I'd never found a pizza I would call "World's Best Pizza" before I tasted the pizza from Marechiaros . They say it sort of like "Mary Key Ahrrows" but with an Italian accent.

An Interview With Diane Morgan, co-author of pizza with Tony Gemignani

The following interview was first published in Pizza News . I was very apprehensive when I received my copy of pizza by Diane Morgan and Tony Gemignani . "Oh no" I thought "not another pizza book." I tore the book out of the package and immediately read the back cover. There on the back, was an endorsement from my friend Peter Reinhart , author of American Pie.

As I read through the book and recipes, it was quite evident, that Diane Morgan and Tony Gemignani know pizza, too. I love this book. It contains many great recipes and exclusive pizza techniques. I asked Diane if I could interview her for Pizza News . Luckily for me, she said yes. Albert : Hi Diane, thanks for agreeing to do an interview for Pizza News . First of all I want to congratulate you on your fantastic pizza book! Your book pizza was co-authored with Pizza Toss...

Jan reports from San Francisco: Hi Albert, Thanks for sharing your story and the Anthony Mangieri video. It's great to see a master at work and now we have another reason to return to San Francisco. On a recent visit to the city my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Tony’s (Gemignani) Pizza Napoletana. It was first on my list of things to do and I was not disappointed - truly amazing pizza and service. I could have died right there. Here is a picture of our pizzas and meatballs in an incredible tomato sauce. And then there is the International School of Pizza - imagine going to school to make pizza! If I were only 21 again . . . Pizza&Love, Jan And here is a picture of these incredible pizzas created by Tony G.: Thanks so much, Jan. Now you really gave me a reason to go to San Francisco... As if I need a reason.
