Anthony Mangieri Talks Pizza Passion

PizzaBill — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:46:04 +0000

Wow, Anthony might be even more obsessed than me about his pizza (he tried to make pizza in his fireplace as a kid)! Anthony is the owner of Una Pizza Napoletana in New York City. In these short videos he talks about his oven, his ingredients and even gives advice to home pizza bakers. I found them inspiring and educational.

Perfect Pizza videos from Heston Blumenthal

PizzaBill — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 02:04:36 +0000

Is this a trend or is it a coincidence that this episode of “In Search of Perfection – Perfect Pizza” featuring the self proclaimed culinary alchemist Heston Blumenthal covers a recipe very similar to the dough that is in my refrigerator right now? The videos show Heston traveling to Naples and bringing back some wonderful advice for making pizza at home. It’s inspired me to seek higher temperature bakes from my oven.

Japanese Pizza Commercial

Somehow, the makers of this Japanese pizza commercial have made pizza into some sort of strange manga comic. I can’t stop singing this tune.

My Daughter’s Pizza Drawing

PizzaBill — Sun, 05 Jun 2005 12:59:12 +0000

This drawing is very special to me. My oldest daughter drew if for me in February of 2004 when we began making pizza together. She said it is a picture of her favorite pizza, our pizza. It is on all of my recipe cards and was on my original Pizza Maker’s Journal web site. This weekend I took some time to work it in to the site so my daughter can see that her drawing is on every page.

Extreme pizza cutters

I can’t say enough about the downright sweetness of these Extreme Pizza Cutters designed by Frankie Flood from the University of Illinois. I can only imagine tearing through one of my pies with an all-aluminum, powder-coated carbon fiber custom cutter! Hats off to this extraordinarily talented artist.

Say, this could go along well with the tricked out dough mixer we saw a few months ago…

Pizza Image Search Fun – Pizza and Guns!

PizzaBill — Fri, 04 Mar 2005 16:25:56 +0000

Now and then I like to do an image search for “pizza” to see all of the crazy things people do with pizza! Here’s the winner for this month…

“Coolest Mixer on Earth”

PizzaBill — Fri, 28 Jan 2005 17:42:24 +0000

Most know that I don’t use a dough mixer (yet). In fact, all of my mixing is done by my trusty breadmaker. But if I did have a mixer, it would be VERY tempting to get a custom paint job on that baby. Maybe metal flake yellow with hand-painted pepperoni?

Apparently this guy took his to get it signed by Alton Brown (known for his show Good Eats on The Food Network). Alton was impressed enough to put a photo on his web site calling it the “Coolest mixer on Earth”. I’d like to take that thing for a “spin”.

Snow[pizza]man

The snow was perfect snowman-snow today as you can see. I proceeded to build a snowman with my two daughters. Here is what I have to say about this photo:

YES – this is a real picture of the snowman we built today
YES – that is a picture of one of my pizzas
YES – our snowman was actually holding a broom and a pizza pan
NO – the pizza was not on the pan in real life (everyone knows pizza melts snowmen)
YES – I realize that my children are going to grow up with an abnormal sense for pizza’s place in life
YES – writing this post has made me hungry for pepperoni pizza

Pizza on Parade!

PizzaBill — Mon, 13 Sep 2004 15:54:39 +0000

Some days, whatever it is I think I see becomes a pizza pie to me. I thought I was seeing things the other day when I giant slice of pizza was waving to me during a street parade in my town… Until a guy from Papa Johns handed me a sheet of coupons. I grabbed this photo and from then on I was hungry for pizza. Come to think of it, I think I’m hungry for pizza right now!

Pizza in Japan?

PizzaBill — Fri, 21 May 2004 12:25:17 +0000

I came across this Japanese pizza menu for a restaurant in Japan called “Pizza-la”. I thought it was neat to see the things they put on their pizza! What’s a Deramaru?? Their Advertisements are funny, too.
