It’s so easy to fall victim to hyperbole when blogging about food, so I want to be careful to say this accurately: I think this may have been the best pizza I’ve ever made.
Ever.
There, I think that says it about right. It was the best, and that from a guy who has made some pretty [...]

Pecorino with Lamb and Leek Pizza
Posted in Food, Meat, Pizza, tagged Lamb, Pizza on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Don’t tell the kids, but it appears I have a thing for lamb. Every now and then I have a craving for the delicously rich flavor of lamb, and this pizza from Food & Wine magazine certainly satisfied my need. Thankfully, ground lamb is becoming readily available at better grocery stores!
I did have a little [...]
Chicken, Red Grape and Pesto Pizza

Grapes and pesto on a pizza? We’ve enjoyed some interesting flavors on our pizzas over the years, but I’m not sure that red grapes and pesto were ever among the choices. Maybe that’s why we thought we had to give this recipe a try when we found it in the September 2009 issue of Cooking [...]
White Pizza with Arugula
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Pizza on April 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We lean toward pizza in our lists of favorite foods, but because of the incredible variety of possible flavors I really don’t mind. This recipe, from Ina Garten of the Food Network, is a case in point. The photos were terrific, but I don’t think they adequately prepared us for the different levels of flavor [...]
Sausage and Red Pepper Mini Deep-Dish Pizza
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Pizza on December 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Santa had our passion for pizza in mind this year, as he brought Cath a set of four mini deep-dish pizza pans from Williams-Sonoma. (Apparently, the elves needed to save a little time this year!) To test them we decided to make this delicious pizza with some of our favorite ingredients. The red peppers were sauteed [...]
Pizza alla Salsiccia (Sausage Pizza)
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Pizza on September 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This was a simple pizza with a complex layering of flavors. We enjoyed this on an autumn weeknight with a bottle of Bodega Norton Reserva Malbec 2005, and the rich flavors were outstanding. The sweet sausage and fennel married will with the spiciness of the red pepper flakes and the red onion, and the crust was [...]
Turkey Pastrami and Swiss on Rye Pizza
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Sandwich on August 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I must have had a Reuben sandwich on the brain, and that’s what led me to this particular creation. I’d never done anything previously with Rye, but the results were quite good. Next time we’ll likely up the caraway seeds in the Rye crust and substitute real pastrami for the turkey version to really boost [...]
Crabmeat, Portobello and Truffle Oil Pizza

A delicious winner from our good friend (whom we haven’t actually met, yet) Emeril Lagasse. I promised Cath I’d make her a pizza tonight, but we weren’t quite sure what it should be. Thin crust, yes. But beyond that, I was going to do some brainstorming during the afternoon. Then, an email from my bride, [...]
Asparagus Bacon and Onion Thin Crust Pizza
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Pizza on April 8, 2008 | 5 Comments »
We’re pizza people.
This is not breaking news, to us or anyone who knows us. We like pizza, homemade pizza. There was a time when Papa John’s and Pizza Hut sounded pretty good to us, but now we’ve gotten the science of the thin crust down. I won’t say perfected, because that’d be a little too [...]
Sun-Dried Tomato, Sausage and Fontina Pizza
Posted in Food, Pizza, tagged Pizza on March 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Another unexpected pleasure from our friends at Food and Wine magazine. This was a weeknight meal, planned for fast preparation and a store-bought Boboli pizza shell. We were entirely unprepared for the almost smoky flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes in combination with the fontina cheese. In addition, we were floored by the recipe direction to [...]
