But honestly the dough and sauces are stupid easy to make the night before and do a slow-rise. Get your own tomato and herb garden, etc. Then doing it on wood or coal and you get that nice little smoky funk in the char.

I really pushed myself to make one every week until I got it down, then it was all about pizza parties pre-covid. Im about to have neighbors over tomorrow for a mini party mainly to show my neighbor this callabrian chili sausage for it. There is a funny backstory where he accidentally made a pizza with thai chilis so I figured Id show him what a good spicy pizza was supposed to be.

I have not made fresh mozzarella yet, but I’ll be playing with that soon.

I have 3 or 4 flours and recipes that are my ‘go tos’ and I usually make my proven dough and one that’s a little experimental. I like 00, and I blend it with about 20% fresh milled.

Tony's is the best pizza I've had outside NYC. Their meatballs are amazing as well.

I'm blocking you over the travesty of the first place. No. Just no.

That's awesome. Wooster Square is such a great spot. All the pizza places there have such great history.

My girlfriend used to live in New Haven. We ate Sally's damn near every weekend.

I think Julia Roberts was a waitress there before she became famous...

Absolutely love pizza, got Neopolitan down pretty well using a mix of Italian 00 flour and extra strong bread flour. Those who make pizza, I can highly recommend the PizzApp app for phones. You put in how many balls of what weight you want to make and how long you want to prove it for and it works it all out for you. Makes great garlic bread too.

460g 00 (caputo) flour
300g of water at 100 degrees
1.5 teaspoon of salt
1.5 teaspoon of EVOO
just a little over a teaspoon of active dry yeast

Put the water in a 2 cup measuring cup to microwave to 100-110 (dont let it get over 114), mix in the yeast thoroughly, mix in the olive oil. Then let sit for about 10 minutes for the yeast to start doing their thing.

While the yeast is waking up mix the flour and salt in a big metal bowl.

Once the yeast is starting to make bubbles (honestly not really even blooming, just waking up and making sure they are alive) you can pour it into the flour mixture. Work that inside the bowl until it becomes a loose dough. Feel free to keep adding flour to the bowl if its sticking, the water will only take up as much flour as it can. Once its a loose ball of dough (aka one cohesive piece but can look ugly) let rest for another 10-15 minutes to hydrate.

Turn out on a heavily floured board and work that shit HARD. Like 6 minutes of real work, until the dough is as smooth as a babies butt and physically hard to work. Now is the time to make gluten, so do work, this is the critical stage IMHO.

Cut and shape into two smooth balls.

Now you can diverge, if its a quick dough get a towel damp with the hot water and drape it over the dough balls to keep them from drying out. Youll get decent rise in 4 hours but 6 would be better.

Or even better yet, throw a thin coat of oil on the bad boys, throw them in giant plastic bags or a covered pan, and throw in the fridge overnight to 3 days. The longer you get a more crispy texture and the yeast make a lot more flavor, think like that beery funk. If you do this just give dough an hour at room temp before you work it again.

Once youre ready knead it one last time but really JUST enough to distribute the bubbles based on your liking. Like giant bubbles in it like french bread (which you should) just barely work it a minute or so. If you like even bubbles like sliced bread do it like 3 minutes.

Roll, toss, top and throw on a 550-600 degree stone in a 900+ grill/oven for 2-4 minutes depending on how long it takes to cook the toppings and get a nice spotty char on the bottom and edges. Just give it a couple of minutes to set up before cutting.

Edit: Forgot to add, depending on your humidity you might have to keep adding flour to the board as you work it to keep the dough from sticking. As long as you give it a few minutes after adding flour the dough will soak it up and not be dry.

It was fun but made a mess of big dishes and ended up probably being the hardest work of all of the things in making pizza (as you know the sauce and dough are stupid easy once you get them down).

And we have a dairy down here that cranks out some good fresh stuff I can get at the market and they are more consistent than I was ever going to be.

I still have my kit because its fun to make burrata for snacking.

I've seen nothing to suggest that Julia Roberts ever lived anywhere near Crozet, VA, much less worked at that pizza restaurant. We do claim Dave Mathews bartending at Miller's in downtown Charlottesville prior to his current fame.

Within a one-minute walk from Crozet Pizza is Sal's where Jerry Finazzo's daughter still carries on his tradition with their Cave Man all-meat Sicilian pie, big enough to serve six-people!
