about the olive oil -I don´t understand why some people insist on pouring lots of it onto their pizzas. I´ve seen people do it on TV shows too and I don´t get it at all. But of course they weren´t ITALIANS , lolI've actually been making pizza with the cheapest ingredients possible lol, you have to remember that when the first Italian immigrants came to NY from Naples they were poor as fuck and there weren't Italian specialty shops yet or a great importing system for things like olive oil from a particular region
There is a local mill here that makes 3 types of flour for stores in the area, a bleached all purpose that is pretty low gluten and most likely intended for pastries, whole wheat, and an unbleached all purpose that is a bit higher gluten that I think is intended as a bread flour that I have been using, $3 for 5lbs
I use walmart mozzarella, which is actually really good, obviously walmart doesn't produce the cheese and has it contracted with a company, which I think might be sargento
I've been rocking a $1.18 can of chef boyardee sauce, thickening it with a small slice of butter, and dusting with black pepper and garlic powder once its spread on the pizza
The one thing I don't cheap out on is the yeast and have been using platinum instant
i've never seen anyone do that. i must live a sheltered life or something. the best Italian spots here DO put some on their bruschetta though. wouldn't be the same without it.about the olive oil -I don´t understand why some people insist on pouring lots of it onto their pizzas.

As a younger hippie university student, I worked in a combination counterculture/sports bar pizza restaurant where we dealt a LOT of dope out the loading dock doors on the 2nd floor. And made some killer pizzas and sandwiches, too.

right on brother! that sounds like a good pie, but i cant handle the spicy like i used toMy wife doesn't do jalapeno on her pizzas, but I love it.
Homemade sauce (mine), whole wheat New York-style crust, as thin as possible (incorporating -LOTS- of olive oil and gluten into the dough when kneading; the secret to a chewy and simultaneously crispy NY style crust), and minimum to moderate sauce, then onions on the bottom in the sauce, maybe sweet peppers if that's desired (but too many fresh veggies in the sauce layer will cause increased moisture in the thing; not good, imo), then a sprinkling of mozzarella, then the meat layer, depending on what meats are being used. Then a layer of thick-sliced fresh mushrooms, then jalapeno, black olives and/or sliced colossal jalapeno and garlic-stuffed green olives, the feta and or goat cheese in small 'nuggets' spread around, another modest layer of mozzarella sprinkled around, and a healthy dusting of freshly grated parmesan.
The better mozzarella cheeses will get stringy like that when melted and still hot.
I used to order a pizza when I ran a men's group for batterers, to the point that the restaurant, without my knowledge, put my name on the pizza menu; I discovered it when I was back in that town for a recreational visit years later. I inquired as to what my royalties might be. They gave me a free soda.
The pie on their menu with my name attached was sliced sweet onion, pepperoni, sliced black olives, fresh sliced mushrooms, fresh sliced jalapeno, and mozzarella with feta.
I'm thinking any further/future requests for royalties when I head back there shortly will go unanswered. I'll be there in about 2 months.
Hahahaha!!right on brother! that sounds like a good pie, but i cant handle the spicy like i used to
