My mother is from Long Island, so I was raised to abhor anything that was not New York style pizza. Then my wife asked me to take her out for Chicago style pizza. I now make Chicago style far more than anything else.
New York style is great, but it’s often floppy… it it? Idk. I lived in Connecticut and was amazed at the gas/wood slate ovens and how they’d make a medium-thin pizza that was super crispy from edge to center. Chicago style is a whole other thing, though! Plus don’t leave out Detroit!
In MN they make the weirdest “cracker crust” pizza which they cut into squares, even when the pizza is round. It’s… okay.
I use the one from the “pizza Bible” by Tony Gemignani, I go a little less oven heat than his directions, but I think that’s my oven. That book has some fabulous pizza.
Yeah I’ve seen some purist Italians talk about pizza on YouTube. Definitely very different (and more tasty) than the pizza I make at home with my family. 😅 Wish I had a stone oven or even room for one of those small modern ovens, to make good pizza in.
I did not! I actually “made up” this recipe just using the recipe I used for a full beef Wellington before. I think I took that recipe from Tyler Florence; I know I got the cream sauce recipe from him, though it initially used green peppercorns.
I did use Jean Pierre’s recipe as a guide for the macaroni and cheese, though, ha!
