Our own, Tony Gemignani made pizza history recently, at the International Pizza Makers Challenge - 2 Mari Trofeo Internationale Pizza Per Tutti 2008 .

Tony who was featured in Legends of Pizza Volume 2 , proved once again he is a World Pizza Champion . Tony G. showcases a prized pizza in Italy.

I was ready to suggest we go grab a Hawaiian Plate lunch. "What do you want to eat?" I asked. "Pizza" he replied. "I want to eat pizza". And that's exactly what we had for lunch. We went to Antonio's New York Style Pizza , in Kahala. And there was not much left over. Tony recently discussed his win: "This was...

My Dad was a great guy. He had a huge heart and loved to make people laugh. He was a trickster and a prankster. He also taught me about pizza. He was Pizza Therapy. As a matter of fact Pizza Therpay was created in his honor. One of his favorite pastimes was giving away wine to his friends and workmates. But as this story explains, there is more than meets the eye. Enjoy: pizza on earth, good will to all! Thanks Dad, albert

As you know, I'm a pizzaman. I love making pizza, I love eating pizza and I love talking about pizza... (Here is my website: Pizza Therapy ). This is one of my favorite pizza tales I have ever experienced. Best of all, this extraordinary pizza conversation, had a Hawaii twist. I happened to be at a Workshop recently and during lunch my favorite topic, pizza, just happened to come up. Janet , who grew up in Hawaii, in a Japanese-American household, shared the following: "One night, many years ago, my Dad and Mom decided to take us kids out for pizza. As soon as my Dad tasted the pizza, he said: "This is not real pizza...Now when I was in Italy during the Second World War, that was real pizza..." (Albert's side bar; So here goes: a pizza tale, with-in a pizza tale...) Her father, who had never been out of Hawaii , was stationed in a small Italian town during World War II. They were camped on a farmer's fields for several weeks. He decided to go for a walk to ...

Discovering what pizza fans favorite pizza is, has always been exciting and controversial. Let's face it: everyone has their own strong opinion when it comes to pizza. And that's the way I like it! In scientific polls I have conducted in the past, pepperoni has always come out on top. Sausage, mushrooms and cheese have always taken a back seat. Anchovies are the least favorite of all pizza toppings. I've always allowed people the option of at least six choices. If you have other pizza toppings that you feel should be added, please feel free to comment. If enough pizza fans feel strongly about it, we can always modify the poll. I want to encourage you to do your civic duty and vote. Let the pepperoni slices, fall where they may. I've always liked anchovies, but to be truthful they are an acquired taste. Please take a second to vote and I encourage you to post a comment. Vote in the sidebar on the right below the Food Buzz banner. You can also take part in a global pizza...

This is a true tale of a recent pizza occurance. Here's what happened: I was interviewed by a food goddess for a radio show. The topic was pizza, of course. The conversation was going great as we discussed toppings, crusts and the best ingredients to use. I gave way all of my inside secrets. I held nothing back. I told her where to find my pizza videos. (Find how to make pizza here.) I explained where to find the best prices for pizza tools. I even revealed how she could get some extra crunch and snap to her pizza dough. She then asked who I thought made the best pizza. I explained that I liked my own pizza. "No" she said, "What pizzeria made the best pizza?" I thought hard and mentioned a couple of places that I thought were memorable. She was not satisfied with my answer. She wanted more. Much more. I tried to explain that like Peter Reinhart , I think there are only two types of pizza: good pizza and great pizza. We discussed several other pizza places. I th...

I had a wonderful experience this week at a fantastic Japanese restaurant in Honolulu ( Tokkuri Tei , 611 Kapahulu Ave Honolulu, HI 96815 (808) 739-2800). Softshell Crab Roll with Ikura (Salmon Roe) Believe me the food was top notch. Incredible dishes, of sushi, sashimi, delicate morsels of all manner of Japanese cuisine. But it wasn't the food. Various dishes were literally being thrown at our table by the minute. sometimes several in a minute. We ate family style, which allowed us to sample an amazing array of all manner of tastes and textures. But it wasn't about the incredible tastes. The ambiance was pleasant and comfortable. The wait staff were attentive and energetic. But it really had nothing to do with the restaurant itself. It was all about the company. As a featured publisher on Food Buzz , I was invited to get together with several other food bloggers to network, discuss food and enjoy a meal together. Call it Sushi Therapy. Sushi Therapy is when friends get togethe...
