Light sauce Vs. Heavy sauce

the cheese that many NY pizza joints use is Grande (whole milk mozz of course), made in Wisconsin and a bit more expensive than most other brands which some pizza joint owners cuss about.

I've never seen Grande in a retail market but the previous king of mozzarella pizza cheeses was Polly-O, that's a brand that might be easier to find, again whole milk mozz only.

I get a local family farm mozzarella the grocery store sources. I get that from a place that sells Boar's Head stuff. The farm is 20 minutes from where I live, right outside the city proper.

Then there is an Italian place that I buy fresh dough and cannoli's from. I use 3 different doughs. One is made fresh daily, 2 are frozen, plus I make a few. Jiffy dough is great, cheap and keeps, but it's not as good.

Okay, so I really like pizza and growing.

Thanks for that tip. I think I get that brand. This local place will sell pizzas and italian food, but they also sell all the ingredients for pizza making - plus a legit italian bakery and grocery.

It's that pizza cheese that melts, stays long and gooey and browns up right. Pizza shop cheese. Long shred, or some such thing. It melts right, but is a little greasy.

East coast NY/NJ plain cheese pizza. Still go back every summer to visit family and they must have 3 large pies waiting for us. Otherwise I do home made with the pizza stone and whole milk mozzarella, the sauce is the tricky part.

I have really cut down on eating out/take-out, but there's a pizza joint called Pinnochio's in Harvard Sq that has Sicilian slices that are out of this world. Best pizza ever. If anyone's ever in Boston check it out.

My favorite pizza is pepperoni and onions

I drank that bubble tea they sell right off the square. Dated a nude model that lived right by MIT / Harvard once upon a time.

Hit up that rave they have there on the campus. Pretty wild.

And... I just made a pizza I'm eating right now. :biggrin:

Everybody knows that the best pizza comes from New Jersey:)

The best pizzas are cooked with high temps. I recommend a Blackstone outdoor pizza oven for anyone wanting to make great pizza. It uses a propane tank and cooks pizzas in as little as 2-3 minutes.
