Making Pizza? Think Beyond the Usual

Sunday August 31, 2008
A new pizzeria opened in our town this spring, and though it did take them about a month to establish a productive routine, they're doing well now and in the evening the tables out on the patio overlooking the valley are always full. Like most pizzerie, they have all the standard pizzas. But they've also got some things I hadn't seen anywhere else, including:
  • Pizza Dei Romani - Tomato, Moszzarella, Smoked Provolone, Speck
  • Pizza Bolognese - Tomato, Mozzarella, and Bolognese (i.e. meat) Sauce
  • Pizza Strada - Tomatoes, Mozzarella, olives, hot dogs and porcini mushrooms
My brother-in-law had the Dei Romani the other night and said it was good - lots of Speck and quite a bit of cheese - and Son R. tried the Bolognese last night: It looked odd because the Bolognese sauce resembled muddy gravel, but he ate it very fast.

Bottom line: Pizza is a universe, and while there are many tried and true toppings, you should feel free to push the envalope too.

Hi,

Here’s a magazine you should know about. It’s called La Cucina Italiana and it’s the U.S. edition of Italy’s oldest and most popular cooking magazine. It’s all about cooking traditional & modern Italian dishes using healthy, fresh and seasonal ingredients. (Thankfully, it’s for chefs of all levels.) I’m looking to spread the word, and if you’d like to take a look, I’d be delighted to send you a free media subscription. Here’s the site. http://www.lacucinaitalianamagazine.com. Also, if you want to host a recipe contest, we can provide the winner with a free subscription as well. Some ideas for the contest are:

- Momma’s homemade spaghetti sauce

- The tastiest organic Italian soup for fall weather

- Gelato to chill for

- Holidays in the homeland…the most authentic – and delicious – Italian holiday dish

If you’d like to receive the magazine, please send your contact information to me at Vickie@reynoldspublicrelations.com.

Thanks!
