Hand Tossed Pizza Video Will Make You Smile...

This is one of the best pizza tossing videos I have ever seen. I appreciate this pizzaiolo. He shares his love and passion for making pizza. He makes his art of tossing pizza a show. What I find most unusual, this guy is tossing his pizza in the back room. He really should be in the front to the house. Plus he sings as he tosses. What a show! Feel the joy... To make great pizza you absolutely need a pizza stone. I recommend this one without reservation. pizza on earth, good will to all, albert grande Make Pizza Be Happy Discover The Lengends of Pizza

Passionate About Pizza: Making Great Homemade Pizza

Over the years I have gotten many emails from pizza lovers. I wanted to share the latest from Curtis, who has just completed his first pizza book... Dear Albert: Peter Reinhart suggested that I reach out to you. Your site is quite impressive! I mean to spend some time looking through it in detail. I have found a few pizza web sites but had not come across yours. You show a strong passion for pizza and for helping others enjoy making pizza. I share a similar passion and desire. I would like to ask a favor of you. I began making Chicago-style pizza soon after I got married (now 20 years ago). My wife and I received a Chicago-style pizza set as a wedding shower gift. The kit had a deep-dish pizza pan, pizza cutter, pan lifter, and a pizza cookbook specializing in Chicago-style pizza.

The True Backstory of Mystic Pizza

I recently reviewed my favorite Pizza Movies of all time. You can watch the review here. One of the films I mention is Mystic Pizza . Mystic Pizza was somewhat of a cult movie in that it launched the career of Julia Roberts , who had a leading role in the film. Also featured was Anabeth Gish, and Lili Taylor. The film is less of a pizza movie and more of a coming of age movie analyzing the cultural and female struggles of three high school friends who work at a pizza place. While pizza is featured in the movie, pizza is more of a backdrop for the relationship story. It really is an innocent movie. And I did enjoy it... Although, I give Mystic Pizza , an honorable mention, I may have to re-think my position after uncovering an article published in The Day Newspaper (New London, Connecticut) on Sunday October, 19, 2008. The story written by Kenton Robinson , was an eye opener. Mystic , itself has a piece of my heart because I grew up and went to high school in Southeastern Connecticut...

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 had the honor of taking him to lunch in Honolulu, a couple of years ago. I'm thinking: maybe Tony would enjoy some sushi, or Dim Sum or perhaps Korean food. 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...
