The Reddecliffs report exclusively for Pizza Therapy: I grew up in New Haven, (Connecticut) and thought that the whole world hade pizza like we did. When I moved away, I was shocked that no one could come close!  I went home to New Haven for this Thanksgiving. My husband and I decided that in order to finally figure out who had the best pizza, Sally's , Pepe's or Modern , we just needed to have them all side by side. Modern Clam Pizza                                                                Pepe's Clam Pizza Sally's Apizza  Well, the stars aligned and we were able to get 2 mozzarella pizzas from all three restaurants.

Our good friend Jay Vogler of Pizza on Earth , shared the following product with us. The Pizza Sleeping Bag: From the Etsy Website, here is a description by the creator This listing is for a deposit on my slice of pizza sleeping bag with veggie pillows.

If there’s one food that we can all agree is delicious, it’s pizza. With its almost limitless possibilities, it’s the ideal choice for lunch, dinner, or just a snack. Originating in Italy, the pizza is now one of the most popular dishes in the world, and can be found on dinner tables in almost every country. One of the great things about pizza is how flexible they are as a dish; the range goes from the frozen variety costing just a few pennies, all the way up to the ‘haute cuisine’ pizzas you’ll find in the most expensive Italian restaurants. In the United States in particular, the pizza has been adopted as a national dish, so much so that many of the original types of pizza were actually created there. And there a number of pizza topping combinations . With such a huge amount of choice when it comes to pizza toppings, you won’t be surprised to find that there are plenty of strange and unusual toppings out there – so let’s take a look at five of the most weird and wonderful gourmet...

During the Pizza Expo, I was able to sample some great pizza. I ate a lot of pizza. A lot of pizza. Yes, I was in Pizza Heaven. I spoke about pizza whenever I could. And I had access to some of the best pizza makers on the planet! Two of the Master Pizzaioli (Pizza Makers) I spoke with were: Antonio Stariata and Adolpho . Antonio Stariata is one of the most incredible pizza makers in the world. His advice was simple and to the point. If you want to make great pizza, you need to follow the Neapolitan method. You will only use 4 (four)ingredients : flour, yeast, salt and water. That's it...nothing more. He also adds: use no fat in your dough. (By this he means, oil...) Adolpho , echos Antonio, and adds his best tip is to make sure you have a long enough ferment. You want to let your pizza leaven for at least 8 or 9 hours. I have been following this advice. My pizza has been coming out great! pizza on earth, Albert Grande The Pizza Promoter Antonio and Adol...

Ms. Pizza shares the following: This list is still a Work in Progress (but, any pizza list is a work in progress, right?) I noticed that you have some reviews for Upper Crust and Ernesto’s, but Bostone, Marhino’s and Angelina’s are NOT on your list of Best Pizza in Massachusetts (State Motto: "By the sword we seek pizza, but pizza only under liberty".) -Ms. Pizza Upper Crust – Boston, MA Upper Crust Pizza , which is a local and growing chain of about 20 pizza shops, serves up gourmet thin crust pizza in Boston and in surrounding neighborhoods. Diners can expect a consistent pizza from one shop to the next. The pizzas are thin, and the toppings are all fresh. I enjoy this chain because it is NOT AT ALL a greasy bite, and has the right balance of cheese and sauce. Oftentimes I find that pizza joints load the pizza with cheese, which overpowers the crust, sauce, and other toppings. Upper Crust is careful to cover each pizza perfectly and should ABSOLUTELY be checked out i...
