    New Haven has the best pizza in the USA. I’m from Massachusetts too so that’s hard for me to admit.
    RIP Gary 🤌🏼

    The biggest secret to these places is a brick oven that cooks a pie in less then 10 minutes. If you’re dedicated enough, you can perfect a sauce by keeping it simple, sticking to simple toppings, and achieve a great dough by understanding natural fermentation, but the vessel you use to cook the pie is another story. It’s the same with salumi making. If you understand the meat fermentation process and the curing/drying environment conditions, you can rival the best norcinos in Italy 😁!

    I'm glad they did not try and compare these parlors with chains like domino's, pizza hut, etc... because they are to nice to the chains. It's like comparing apples/oranges, new haven pies = prime rib, chains = dog food when compared.

    One year i played on Wooster street for their Italian Festival with a band. After we finised around 10 p m we were invited to dine at Pepe's There was a very long line out the door and own the street, but we were whisked right in and were seated. Shortly came out a couple pitchers of beer and then two large pizzas. They are the "greatest" Too bad i live so far from there, otherwise i would be going every week for their pizza.

      I live about 15 minutes from New Haven.
      We know to stay away on the weekend.
      I guess we don’t think there’s anything odd about having pizza for dinner three-or-three times a week. We had Tolli’s (East Haven) tonight.
      One of New Haven County’s best Apizza is called The Little Rendezvous in Meriden. If you’re interested, just google them. I think they have their history told on their site.
      Eat well!

    • @JaimeMesChiens
      @JaimeMesChiens 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      James Gretsch, we do, indeed!
      Of interest is that here, southern Connecticut, pizza making is a respected craft.
      Pizza makers stay st their restaurants for years, even decades. They’re known to keep their recipes secret.
      I think I know the first names of just-about every pizza chef at my favourite places: and that’s not unusual here.

    • @JaimeMesChiens
      @JaimeMesChiens 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      James Gretsch, hi, you again, lol.
      How funny! I lived in LA way back in the 80s. LA pizza, at least then, was not good, to me, anyway.
      Whenever I’d go home, we would have Pepe’s that evening.
      It’s as good as you remember.

    If water really were a factor, couldn't you boil it to produce a dry mineral powder and then reconstitute that with distilled water to recreate the same profile? It would be a lot cheaper than shipping big drums of water around the country to make authentic pizza.

    the inferior water in the south is no wivve's tale. I worked in the pizza buiness for many years in NY then moved to Port Richey FL and helped my step father open a pizzeria. We did everything exactly the same. The dough was terrible. It won't rise the same and the texture is way inferior.

      has little to do with the water. The environment is completely different. If you guys did exactly the same then it's you not understanding baking chemistry, not the pizza.
