I'm a Pizza snob and maybe you'll become one too...
Growing up in New York in a traditional Italian American household, our home was always filled with the amazing smells of my mother's spaghetti sauce, pasta, meatballs frying, pizza, and of course, so much garlic!
Thinking that I was just helping mom out in the kitchen as a kid, proved to be far different than I thought it would be. It's where I got a real Italian cooking education and developed my great passion for Italian food, with a special emphasis on pizza!
Always learning to make new dishes was an adventure and still is. Just like once you learn to make fresh pasta, you'll never want to eat pasta out of a box again, the same applies to pizza and the real sauces and cheeses!
With the Pizza Aficionado Handbook, you'll soon learn the shortcuts taken by fast food pizzerias that make the pizza garbage and that you don't have to settle for it because making it yourself is actually pretty easy.
FAQS
Do you offer any gluten-free options?
Get outta here with that!
No! That garbage is a Cracker with sauce and cheese. Its called KLAPBNR
Kind of
Like
A
Pizza
But
Not
Really
Thin crust or thick crust?
A thin crust is called a Neopolitan Pizza.
A thick crust usually cooked in a deep dish type pan is called Sicilian Pizza.
They are both GREAT!
Are pizza rolls an acceptable alternative, or do they fall short of the true pizza experience?
You're kidding right?
If a pizza isn't made in a wood-fired oven, is it even worth your time?
Yes! In the Pizza Aficionado Handbook, I cover effective ways to make pizza, without a wood burning pizza oven.
Is it acceptable to eat cold pizza for breakfast, or does that violate some pizza snob morning-after code?
If it's good pizza, go ahead. No arrests will be made!
Do they really ship water in from New York to other areas of the country so that the dough is made correctly?
Bahahahaha, that is the oldest joke in the book for pizzerias around the country telling that to patrons. Do you have any idea what it would cost to ship the water? A slice of pizza would cost $100
What is the TRAPANI Code?
The TRAPANI code or... The official code of pizza ethics written and enforced by The Recipe And Pizza Association National Institute states the following prohibited items and practices:
No Pineapple on Pizza.
No dipping Pizza in Ranch Dressing.
No BBQ Sauce on Pizza.
No Chicken on Pizza.
No frozen Pizza (unless the consumer is under 5 years of age).
No eating of Pizza with a fork and knife unless in Italy.
No Fruit on Pizza (you want dessert? get a Cannolo or Gelato).
No Microwave for Reheating
No Gluten Free crust!
NEVER use SKIM CHEESE
Suggestions:
Dean Martin and/or Frank Sinatra should be playing while the Pizza is being made.
The kitchen should be renamed to the "Pizza Shrine".
Pizza should be served and eaten with reverence as each slice is like a work of art.
There should be an official Saint of Pizza (proceedings are underway with the Vatican to establish Saint Margarita as the Patron Saint of Pizza).
Chicago Style pizza should be renamed as "Casserole"
Eating cold Pizza is Ok, especially the next morning after a celebration.
Always use REAL ingredients.
Musts:
Make with love!
Eat often with friends and family.
