I sat down with my elderly mother -in-law and wrote down all her recipes and made little cookbooks for my sister-in-laws. Covered them in one of her old tops she use to wear
I truly understand how very special your mom's recipe is to you because it's in her handwriting. After my mom passed away I found the last grocery list she wrote out. That was not just a grocery list....it was the final link I had with my mom. When a loved one passes away, the simplest things become ever so special!❤
I love that you have her hand written recipe and wanted to let you know you can have that engraved in her writting on a cutting board! My nephew had a recipe of my moms put on a cutting board for my sister shortly after our mom passed away. So special!
My hubby & daughter had my Mom’s prized Pumpkin bread recipe stamped on a cutting board for me. I cried. The writing matched hers perfectly. I see it every day as it’s propped up on my counter like a beautiful piece of art.
I'm a little burnt out on Pepperoni. I do love Sausage, green pepper, onions, black olives, with plenty of cheese, best. Many years ago, if it's still there, there was a place called, Big Ed's, here in Oak Ridge. I'm in North Knoxville here in Tennessee . I haven't been there in close to 40 years! I have been cooking often since I retired, or was disabled in 2010. But I have never tried Yeast. I'm very interested in trying this recipe and others with Yeast. Sounds so yummy 😋! I just found your Channel a few months ago, I'm enjoying it very much!!💖😅
Tom the pizza looks perfectly delicious. Melissa you have a wonderful husband with a giant heart and Tom your parents raised a good man. Bless u2 for all you do❤
Hemi’s Pizza in Oklahoma City, my brother worked there when he was just out of Highschool. It was a very long time ago as he graduated in 1973. They were one of the first that hand tossed their crust and one of the first to make calzones. It closed years ago but oh my they were good.
Where was that? I graduated HS in 73 in OKC also and I don't remember a Hemi's Pizza. The two I remember back then that we went to were Shakey's and Shotgun Sam's. Pizza Planet and Kens were good but I think they were around later in OKC. OKC has a lot of really good non chain pizza places now. Empire, Slice and Dado's that supposedly has a machine that replicates NY water for a real NY style pizza.
Collegeville Bakery in Collegeville PA. We’re from there although we now live in southern DE. The family that owns this place used to be our neighbors two doors down. Their place is exactly the kind of place you would love. Great pizza but oh so much more that you would love. When we go home , we always try to stop in to eat , take out or just say hi to our old neighbors. This is a very special place. Try their fried chicken cutlets, sausage peppers and onions and pulled pork too! We love your show!
I have been baking bread and making pizza crusts for decades but I make my pizza dough the way Italian’s make their dough, water yeast salt and flour, no sugar or oil needed and the dough is beautiful and tastes delicious. Yeast only needs flour to munch on, no sugar needed, it just takes a little longer for your dough to rise. I put my dough after having kneaded it for 15 minutes by hand (which gives the pizza dough bubbles around the edge like a pizza from a wood fired pizza) an olive oil greased bowl, covered up, into the oven with the oven light on which speeds the rising process.
Can't wait to try your Mama's pizza recipe. I am an amateur home baker who sells a lot of yeast breads and sourdough, and I have many pizzas in my life, I have never seen a pizza crust recipe with an egg. I often wondered why you wouldn't, so thanks to your mama, I have a new recipe to try. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipes.
I have a friend that had her grannys hand written recipes for several dishes. A very detailed cake recipe, biscuits, etc. Oh my friend was in her late 80s. So these recipes were well over 100 years old. Her granddaughters copied her recipes onto a cloth. They hand embroidered the recipes and put them in antique frames and they hung proudly throughout her kitchen on the walls. They also had some lovely poetic letters she had written. Maybe that would be a lovely way to preserve your mothers hand written recipes ❤❤
I'm back watching mom's pizza again and with a tip of course. If you ever try refrigerating your dough overnight after mixing it and not rising, you'll find what a wonderful flavor it has. It slow rises in the fridge and the ferment is delish and way easier to work with too. A large deli container is good for it and space saving.
Tom, when you were talking about your favorite toppings this is what I was reminded of. When my boy was about 2-3 years old, he would pick up the phone and order what he'd heard us say so often in his sweet little voice. It was "Hello...Giovannis, I want an 18 " pizza with sausage, macaroni, mushrooms, onions and nano peppers, and double cheese. Thank you." 😇😇LOL
Homemade pizza, dough and all….so impressive! I am a Philly gal and we have lots of great pizza joints in and around the city of brotherly love, but my all time favorite is Renzi’s on Harbison Avenue in Philadelphia, PA and right now I am lovin’ Anthony’s coal fired pizza in Horsham, PA (Montgomery county). Pizza is great for any meal of the day in my book and you guys have my mouth watering so hubby and I are gonna have to go out for pizza tonight lol!!! Thanks and God bless!
It's so great that you have your mom's hand-written recipes. I just found your channel a few days ago. Binge watched several. Now I have my mother watching too. Our favorite pizza place is in Purcell,Oklahoma Joe's pizza. Best pizza ever. I'm not sure they are still there. We moved away from there, probably 40 years ago.
My mother worked at a pizza restaurant in Encinitas, CA in about 1964. I remember how the pizza was loaded with cheese and was great. We moved and the place may not be there anymore. By far this was the best pizza!
I like pepperoni, black olives, green peppers, and plenty of sauce. I like on the bottom of crust Parmesan cheese it gives the crust a great flavor. I love watching your videos and I have made several of your recipes. Chocolate pie, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie. I love that you're so precise on the way you cook and your presentation. I don't like watching videos where they waste food. Thank you
You are a nice Man. You mentioned your Moms recipe written in her hand. Even at sixt eight years I still get choked up when I read something in my Mom or Dads hand writing and look out when I get out one of Grandmas recipes. I weep. You know what I mean. When you did the potato pancake video it really got to me. Grandma was from Austria and had the accent when I was little I couldn’t identify half of what she was saying but I knew it was all about love. Thanks for your hard work and inspiring great memories!
Sir Pizza was our all time favourite pizza located in Titusville Florida in the 70s. 🎉They closed that location but kept open the one in Daytona Beach. Unfortunately the only one still in operation is in Palmetto Bay, Florida. They use cracked black pepper instead of salt under the crust. They ground their pepperoni, which insured pepperoni in each bite. I sure miss those pizzas…!
The recipes my Mom gave me in her handwriting I store in my special cookbook. I made copies of them for my book I use and share on a regular basis. Cherish them forever ❤
Just want you to know I watch a lot of these shows and without a doubt just from watching you and your wife are the nicest people I have seen on you tube I actually think I could come and sit at your table and would be welcome and feel comfortable. Good job, you do a great cooking channel. God bless you both
Wonderful video. We always sprinkle a little corn meal under our pizza crust. We like pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, and onions on ours. However, we usually just do pepperoni and mushrooms. Our favorite pizza place is Piazza Sorrento in Hershey Pennsylvania
Kathie says…Our favorite pizza is from WISE PIES in Terre Haute, Indiana. They make New York style pizza and we love it!! On my half I order: Tomato, Mushroom, Black Olives & extra cheese. My husband’s half is: Pork Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Pepper, Onion and easy on the cheese. Your Pizza looks delicious and I will make it soon!! I grew up eating my mom’s CHEF BOY ARDEE PIZZA ( box mix ) she used the sauce and put pinches of hamburger all over it, salt and pepper, and then sprinkled it with the cheese included in the box…that’s it!! AND I LOVED IT…STILL DO! I make that pizza now and then…the same way, and it is such a treat!!! They no longer include the cheese in the box so I use Kraft Parmesan-Romano mix (the Green Container). I have eaten that pizza since around 1953!!🥰
Hi Tom & Melissa I love your show and have learned so much from you since I started watching your show. The very best Pizza I ever had was in Slovenia visiting relatives in 2006. Other than that I lived in Vacaville, CA for over 30 years and Pietro’s Pizza was my very favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your mother and father’s recipe for Pizza Dough, I can’t wait to try it. ❤️
My very favorite pizza is out on Hatteras Island, in Avon. It is Nino's, hands down the very best pizza I have ever eaten. The staff is wonderful as well.
This looks yummy. My favorite pizza is from Al's New York Pizza in Huntington, WV. Tell Melissa I always eat pizza with no sauce. That eliminated heartburn. It started when I visited San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy. They never use sauce in that part of southern Italy. They also don't cover it with cheese. Instead they use fresh mozzarella like a topping placed in spots over it. Another thing I discovered over there is they do NOT cut the pizza. You simply just tear it off as you want it. As far as favorite toppings, mine is Italian sausage and a variety of veggies.
I made a homemade pizza last night for supper. We like a thick crust pizza and my dough is very lite and fluffy. Made in a large jelly roll pan. I made 8 loaves of white bread and and 6 loaves of Italian bread every Saturday. (Shared with my parents every week). Love working with yeast doughs. The less you work your dough the lighter it is. Yummy 😋 Yes that is called a Danish dough whisk and works great!
In the 70s i worked as a bookkeeper for a food processor. All day they made pizzas all day for commissary. They sold supplies to all the restaurants .This is before frozen pizzas were thr norm. Their pizza crust was premade from a company in Virginia. We rarely had anything with cooked tomatoes like pizza sauce as my daddy refused to eat it. All his kids and grands love pizzas.
I love how Tom doesn’t waste anything! I do the same thing because that’s what my Mama did. She scraped off every bowl, spoon, and beaters. Miss her so much.
In my small town we have a pizza restaurant called Macys Pizza.When my daughter comes down to visit she always order a Macys Pizza.Its in Harrisburg Illinois.Its the best pizza Ive ever tasted.
Hello Friends. Thank you for sharing your Mom's pizza recipe. You might want to consider either putting your recipe in a plastic cover to protect it or make some copies and use them instead of the original. I know how wonderful it is to have things in my Mamas handwriting - so precious, right?
I live in North Carolina now, but my favorite pizza restaurant is in Glendora, California. It's called Round Table Pizza. My favorite pizza toppings are: Pepperoni Green Pepper Onions Bacon Your pizza looked DELICIOUS!
We live in Knoxville, TN. However, our favorite pizza restaurant is located in Beaufort North Carolina. It's called " No Name Pizzza". Its the best pizza we have ever eaten. We discovered it when we were volunteer lighthouse keepers at Cape Lookout, NC. That's an awesome place to visit if your in the area. We really enjoy your videos. We've made several of your recipes. Just made your Butter Pecan Fudge last night ( our 3rd time 😋).
Tom and Melissa..I love watching your videos! I have made several of your recipes and will continue to do so💕 I would like to make a constructive comment: Please have your Momma's recipe laminated ❤ precious, precious.
Recipes that are written out on lined paper are some of the best recipes. I have several of those, which I have put into photo albums. I find this a great way to store them.
Live in Canada, I like New Orleans Pizza. My favorite toppings are onion, bacon bits, red peppers, olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni. It is topped with cheddar cheese and monzorria cheese.
@NAT-rm9lu, I'm from New Castle (don't live there anymore though). Not heard of that pizza place but the next time I go home I'll have to look it up. As I put in the comments, Top Hat Two pizza (along with Jack's Donuts) is the best pizza in the world 😊... sure do miss them 😔 😊.
Melissa, a great gift opportunity for Tom and generations to come. Framed in a way paper won't degrade and maybe a small pic of his mom or something...seems so special to him...
Totally agree with you on the sauce, hate dry pizza, and yes right to the edge!! Wonder if they did a survey how many tons of pizza crust gets tossed in the trash every year.The cheese absolutely needs to be on top. No pizza is complete without red pepper & onion.
OMG ! Made this pizza dough tonight for homemade pizza, the very best crust I have ever made, it was so easy to put together, this recipe is definitely my go to, your Mother must have been an amazing cook. ( PS ) I did add the salt to the bottom of my pizza pan, great tip, thank you for sharing your Mom’s recipe 😊
The fact that you're left-handed got my sub. There are very few of our kind in the world, we gotta stick together. ✊🏼 Oh, yeah, the food recipes are great too.😄 Favourite pizza place: Main St. Pizza, San Antonio TX. A mom and Pop. They made everything fresh, even had a garden. Have no idea if it still exists, that was at least 30yrs ago. It was right near the SAC(San Antonio college)so I ate there a lot when I was going to college. I looked it up, it's still there. Favourite toppings: For a bacon cheeseburger pizza I like beef, bacon, motz and cheddar cheese and black olives. For any ol' pizza a combo of beef, grilled chicken, black olives, green peppers,bacon,mushrooms as well as different kinds of cheeses depending on my mood. Feta cheese is excellent on pizza.
when you were taking the raised Pizza Dough out of the oven, I flashed back to the ep. of "I Love Lucy" when Lucy and Ethyl made home made bread LOL Pizza is another of my go to's , I had some for dinner while watching this. thanks again for inviting us into your home, and Your Kitchen for another Great recipe my friends 😀
My favorite pizza came from my mom‘s kitchen! She had a great dough recipe. She made her own sauce, using tomato paste, water, garlic and oregano, She used smoked sausage and shredded cheddar cheddar cheese. Our family loves it to this day, and one of my nieces carries on the tradition. I live in Louisiana, or smoked sausage is a staple! Other than my mom‘s pizza, I love the crust, pepperoni pizza and barbecue pizza, with barbecue sauce, chicken, or brisket and cheese.
Love the handwritten recipes 💕 Pizza story……One of our first dates at Murray State was at a pizza place that is no longer there , it’s been 50+years. Anyway John ordered TunaFish pizza, I like tuna and I thought it would be okay. Well it WASN’T. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Not wanting to be so picky, I tolerated it as graceful as I could. After we had dated awhile I told him how I felt about the Tuna pizza. Now when we get pizza we sometimes refer to our Tuna pizza and share a special memory. Favorite pizza was CASSANOS, in the early70’s. In Dayton or Kettering Ohio. Thin & crispy and cut into pieces. (Not sliced in triangles) but pieces. Pepperoni. ❣️ Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you. Especially thanks to Melissa for the written copy of the recipes❣️❣️.
The pizza looks really good. Love that clear glass bowl. I have hand written recipes my Mom gave me in a small wooden recipe box 44 years ago when I got married.
Andy's Pizza and Steakhouse in Dunlap Tennessee. They used to be in Richmond KY when I was at EKU from 73-75 but at some point they moved down there and we found them again. They're as wonderful now as they were then! We drove 3 1/2 hours to eat there again and it hasn't changed a bit. That first bite took me back to my EKU days. Fantastic!!!❤❤
If you are ever in Oakridge, Tn. You have to eat at Big Ed’s pizza they still toss the dough in the air and the pizza is absolutely amazing. I absolutely love your videos I have learned a lot from watching you are an amazing teacher. Merry Christmas!🎄
As a fellow Ketuckian…born in Harrodsburg with ties in Somerset and Louisville, transplanted to Northeast Tennessee (Johnson City) Johnny Brusco’s is my favorite. Close second is Gregs. Keep up the great videos.❤️
What a lovely tribute to your Mom. I am fortunate to have my mothers and grandmothers recipe box with a ton of family recipes in their own handwriting. I cherish it dearly since they are no longer with us. Who doesn’t love 🍕!!!
That's a great tip sprinkling the salt on the pan....I'll have to try that. There's no place in the world I'd rather have pizza from than what I can make in my own kitchen. 👍
I'm making homemade pizza Friday night so this video was right up my alley. I also like a lot of pizza sauce. We don't go out for pizza anymore, I just make it here at home. When we had "Papa Murphy's-Take-n-Bake pizza", that was the only place we ate pizza from. They are no longer in Nicholasville, but I think they still have a couple of places in Lexington and Louisville. They will make the pizza right in front of you, but they don't bake it. You take it home and bake it yourself. That way it is nice and hot fresh out of the oven. They make the pizza on an oven-safe tray and you bake the pizza directly on that tray. They include instructions for baking the pizza, but we were old pros since we ate from there about once every 2 weeks. My favorite was the "Herb Chicken Mediterranean" which included the ingredients of.... Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herbs, Chopped Garlic, Crumbled Feta, Whole-Milk Mozzarella, and Olive Oil & Garlic Sauce......what I liked about it was that it was on a very thin crust and the sauce was made up of olive oil and finely crushed garlic. You can check out their website if that sounds like something you may want to try one day. Wish I had, had you all as my teachers, life would have been more interesting. Tom, you've got the perfect teacher voice and I could listen to you talk all day. You remind me so much of a favorite math teacher I had in HS. He was actually everyone's favorite teacher. I love watching you cook and hearing about your and Melissa's life and adventures. We need to get Melissa in front of the camera to do a cooking segment.
I made your bacon corn chowder recipe today..It was so good. Doubled the amount, shared it with co workers, it was completely gone. Everyone really enjoyed it.❤
I love your streaming videos. I have tried quite a few of your recipes, and I have loved them all. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.
You made this look so much easier than I thought it would be. Our favorite pizza was called the Mona Lisa from De Vinci's Pizza. They're in B'ham, Al. We haven't lived there since 1983 but they're still there. We live in MI now but we've never forgotten how delicious their pizza was. I'll just have to try your recipe to see if I can come up with another favorite.😊
I live in a small town of a little over 2000+ people…while I love homemade pizza, we like to order out once in a while…we order from a pizza place called The Titanium Lunchbox…they are golfers so that is how they named the place
My favorite pizza is Aroma pizza in ft Wayne in. You mentioned salt on the pizza pan. Aroma uses cornmeal as I do. Also i 27:16 always wait a while after the pizza has started to bake before putting on my cheese. Don’t like burnt cheese😊 26:56
From a 63 year old pizza addict, J&G Pizza in Manchester TN is hands down the best. I grew up on Canadian bacon pizza cut in squares. Closed on Mondays.
Hey Tom - I stumbled upon your channel before the holidays, and have really enjoyed all the things you have shared - especially the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and now the "Souper Bowl" series. I look forward to each new video. I am commenting today to say - I am 76 years old - love to cook and bake - and have NEVER heard of a Danish Whisk before. I have looked it up online - and am impressed by the comments on it - and I just ordered one from Amazon!! : ) Thank you for for your great videos - and for showing me a new fun tool!! Bless you guys. ❤ and Thank You for the pizza crust recipe!
I love veggie pizza with onions, bell pepper, black olives,spinach, and zucchini. I also like pepperoni or ground beef. We only have chain pizza places near us. We love to make our own. Thanks for sharing your special recipe. Love your channel!
I enjoy your program and have tried a lot of your recipes. Thanks and keep on making these great recpies. Theres nothing better than recpies thats already been tried to know they are good
You showed me something tonight that I am definitely going to try. I am 74 years old and I have never seen the cheese on top of the toppings it was always the cheese put down and then the toppings I like the idea very much and I’m going to give it a try I am also going to put salt at the bottom of the pan I also like my sauce edge to edge just like my toast I want the butter edge to edge. Thank you
Sorrentos in San Marcos California. Best pizza and lazagna. Family owned and everthing is homemade. The owner goes in at 3 am everyday to make the sauce from scratch!❤
Best pizza for me was in a little place in Aguas Calientes, Peru, that sits just below Machu Picchu. It was baked in a wood fired oven. I don't even remember what it had on it, but it could've been the place and friends we were with that made it so special.
I have to say I just love when Tom has his first bite haha also I love how you have your mums old hand written recipes I have a few of those too I love them
We didn’t eat out growing up, but every year, the night before we left for our 2 week camping trip, we would go to The Quonset Hut in Waukegan Illinois, for pizza. It’s still there; they had the best Pizza & Italian sausage bombers. Such great memories.
We have a Castaways restaurant in Lancaster Ohio. They serve everything from pizza to fine steak dinners. They have been in business since the early 1950's. My favorite pizza comes from Sugar Bears Pizzeria. Usually just plain cheese, but on occasion I get the deluxe which has pepperoni, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and mild pepper rings. Delicious.
It really is! We did enjoy it very much and we love making it even thinner as well. Really, there is not much pizza we don't like. Thanks so much for watching our channel. Hope you're staying warm on this cold winter's day.
Love the tip about the salt on the bottom of the pizza pan. I don't eat a lot of pizza, due to dietary restrictions, but I love ham, hamburger, & bacon on my pizza. Love y'alls videos!!
I LOVE 🍕 it, But, me neither, had Heart Surgery in 2022 and have Diabetes. I LOVE SOOO MANY OF THEIR RECIPES, BUT TOO MUCH BUTTER, SUGAR AND SOMETIMES THE CANNED BISCUITS FROM STORE. LIMITED ON SALT, TOO 😕. STILL, LOVE BEING AT THE TABLE HERE WITH TOM & MELISSA 😊💙🙏✝️🙌

Pasquales pizza in Newport, KY! YUM!!!
A little cornmeal scattered on the bottom of the pan is delicious.
Having your Mother's hand written recipes are priceless ❤😊I love pepperoni pizza my favorite
We agree. It is nice to see her writing when we pull out her recipes. It's a lesson for us all. Thank you so much for watching our channel.

Our favorite pizza place is Piazza Sorrento in Hershey Pennsylvania
Kathie says…Our favorite pizza is from WISE PIES in Terre Haute, Indiana. They make New York style pizza and we love it!! On my half I order: Tomato, Mushroom, Black Olives & extra cheese. My husband’s half is: Pork Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Pepper, Onion and easy on the cheese. Your Pizza looks delicious and I will make it soon!! I grew up eating my mom’s CHEF BOY ARDEE PIZZA ( box mix ) she used the sauce and put pinches of hamburger all over it, salt and pepper, and then sprinkled it with the cheese included in the box…that’s it!! AND I LOVED IT…STILL DO! I make that pizza now and then…the same way, and it is such a treat!!! They no longer include the cheese in the box so I use Kraft Parmesan-Romano mix (the Green Container). I have eaten that pizza since around 1953!!🥰
Hi Tom & Melissa I love your show and have learned so much from you since I started watching your show. The very best Pizza I ever had was in Slovenia visiting relatives in 2006. Other than that I lived in Vacaville, CA for over 30 years and Pietro’s Pizza was my very favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your mother and father’s recipe for Pizza Dough, I can’t wait to try it. ❤️
My very favorite pizza is out on Hatteras Island, in Avon. It is Nino's, hands down the very best pizza I have ever eaten. The staff is wonderful as well.
This looks yummy. My favorite pizza is from Al's New York Pizza in Huntington, WV.
Tell Melissa I always eat pizza with no sauce. That eliminated heartburn.
It started when I visited San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy. They never use sauce in that part of southern Italy. They also don't cover it with cheese. Instead they use fresh mozzarella like a topping placed in spots over it. Another thing I discovered over there is they do NOT cut the pizza. You simply just tear it off as you want it.
As far as favorite toppings, mine is Italian sausage and a variety of veggies.
I love the ham and pineapple on pizza too. I like veggies ,mushrooms,bell peppers ,Kalakaua olives, l like lots of tomato,sauce too.
That was supposed to be Kalamata olives.
Our favorite place here in Maine is Al's Pizza in Skowhegan, Maine so very very yummy!!!!!!
I made a homemade pizza last night for supper. We like a thick crust pizza and my dough is very lite and fluffy. Made in a large jelly roll pan. I made 8 loaves of white bread and and 6 loaves of Italian bread every Saturday. (Shared with my parents every week). Love working with yeast doughs. The less you work your dough the lighter it is. Yummy 😋 Yes that is called a Danish dough whisk and works great!
In the 70s i worked as a bookkeeper for a food processor. All day they made pizzas all day for commissary. They sold supplies to all the restaurants .This is before frozen pizzas were thr norm. Their pizza crust was premade from a company in Virginia. We rarely had anything with cooked tomatoes like pizza sauce as my daddy refused to eat it. All his kids and grands love pizzas.
I love how Tom doesn’t waste anything! I do the same thing because that’s what my Mama did. She scraped off every bowl, spoon, and beaters. Miss her so much.
My fave Pizza place is the (edge) crust!
I scrape everything! It’s what always taught and it’s a waste! So love he scrapes everything!
@@gaylarussell2336 I do religiously; plus a little rinse depending the sitch.
In my small town we have a pizza restaurant called Macys Pizza.When my daughter comes down to visit she always order a Macys Pizza.Its in Harrisburg Illinois.Its the best pizza Ive ever tasted.
Hello Friends. Thank you for sharing your Mom's pizza recipe. You might want to consider either putting your recipe in a plastic cover to protect it or make some copies and use them instead of the original. I know how wonderful it is to have things in my Mamas handwriting - so precious, right?
I live in North Carolina now, but my favorite pizza restaurant is in Glendora, California. It's called Round Table Pizza.
My favorite pizza toppings are:
Pepperoni
Green Pepper
Onions
Bacon
Your pizza looked DELICIOUS!
My daughter took me to a little pizza shop in Lebanon Indiana. Called Greeks Pizza. It was so good. I have since been there three more times.
Round Table...Combo is my Fav
An awesome way to honor your Mother. That looks delicious! Enjoy your day.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed the pizza. The crust makes a difference.
I also order extra sauce on my Pizza. My favorite place makes the best sauce I've ever had.
Mamas Pizza in Omaha, Nebraska......Best pizza ever!
Lenny and John's on Flatbush Ave. Brooklyn NY. Best pizza ever.
We live in Knoxville, TN. However, our favorite pizza restaurant is located in Beaufort North Carolina. It's called " No Name Pizzza".
Its the best pizza we have ever eaten. We discovered it when we were volunteer lighthouse keepers at Cape Lookout, NC. That's an awesome place to visit if your in the area.
We really enjoy your videos. We've made several of your recipes. Just made your Butter Pecan Fudge last night ( our 3rd time 😋).
Park Street Pizza in Sugar Creek Ohio
Makes the best pizza with ALL Fresh veggies and meats❤️😍
Tom and Melissa..I love watching your videos! I have made several of your recipes and will continue to do so💕
I would like to make a constructive comment:
Please have your Momma's recipe laminated ❤ precious, precious.
Or put in a protective sleeve. 😊
Recipes that are written out on lined paper are some of the best recipes. I have several of those, which I have put into photo albums. I find this a great way to store them.
Live in Canada, I like New Orleans Pizza. My favorite toppings are onion, bacon bits, red peppers, olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni. It is topped with cheddar cheese and monzorria cheese.
1000° degree Wood Fired Pizza, Mt. Summit, Indiana... it is delicious as are the breadsticks... you will not be disappointed!! 🍕
@NAT-rm9lu, I'm from New Castle (don't live there anymore though). Not heard of that pizza place but the next time I go home I'll have to look it up. As I put in the comments, Top Hat Two pizza (along with Jack's Donuts) is the best pizza in the world 😊... sure do miss them 😔 😊.
Melissa, a great gift opportunity for Tom and generations to come. Framed in a way paper won't degrade and maybe a small pic of his mom or something...seems so special to him...
Next time your in Florida try Merlin’s pizza in Destin. So so yummy the best pizza I’ve ever had and their honey butter pizza is my fav ❤
I am with Melissa! I prefer extra sauce. This recipe looks great.
My favorite pizza restaurant is The Brickery in Jackson, GA.
Thank you for sharing your mom's pizza, Tom . Thank you Melissa for the recipe. I love watching your videos and share them with my kids.
Totally agree with you on the sauce, hate dry pizza, and yes right to the edge!! Wonder if they did a survey how many tons of pizza crust gets tossed in the trash every year.The cheese absolutely needs to be on top. No pizza is complete without red pepper & onion.
OMG ! Made this pizza dough tonight for homemade pizza, the very best crust I have ever made, it was so easy to put together, this recipe is definitely my go to, your Mother must have been an amazing cook. ( PS ) I did add the salt to the bottom of my pizza pan, great tip, thank you for sharing your Mom’s recipe 😊
My favorite, local, pizza is Giovanni's in Coal Grove Ohio!!
Thank you for responding. It's always great to get feedback like this. We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
The fact that you're left-handed got my sub. There are very few of our kind in the world, we gotta stick together. ✊🏼
Oh, yeah, the food recipes are great too.😄
Favourite pizza place: Main St. Pizza, San Antonio TX. A mom and Pop.
They made everything fresh, even had a garden. Have no idea if it still exists, that was at least 30yrs ago. It was right near the SAC(San Antonio college)so I ate there a lot when I was going to college. I looked it up, it's still there.
Favourite toppings:
For a bacon cheeseburger pizza I like beef, bacon, motz and cheddar cheese and black olives.
For any ol' pizza a combo of beef, grilled chicken, black olives, green peppers,bacon,mushrooms as well as different kinds of cheeses depending on my mood. Feta cheese is excellent on pizza.
My husband's and my favorite place is Don's NY Pizza in Peoria AZ at 75th Avenue & Peoria Avenue. Oh, my!
when you were taking the raised Pizza Dough out of the oven,
I flashed back to the ep. of "I Love Lucy" when Lucy and Ethyl
made home made bread LOL
Pizza is another of my go to's , I had some for dinner while watching
this. thanks again for inviting us into your home, and Your Kitchen for
another Great recipe my friends 😀
I like the " Sweep the kitchen" pizza from Johnny's in Ruston. La. Second favorite is Billy's Italian in Vicksburg , Mississippi.
My favorite pizza came from my mom‘s kitchen! She had a great dough recipe. She made her own sauce, using tomato paste, water, garlic and oregano, She used smoked sausage and shredded cheddar cheddar cheese. Our family loves it to this day, and one of my nieces carries on the tradition. I live in Louisiana, or smoked sausage is a staple!
Other than my mom‘s pizza, I love the crust, pepperoni pizza and barbecue pizza, with barbecue sauce, chicken, or brisket and cheese.
Love the handwritten recipes 💕 Pizza story……One of our first dates at Murray State was at a pizza place that is no longer there , it’s been 50+years. Anyway John ordered TunaFish pizza, I like tuna and I thought it would be okay. Well it WASN’T. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Not wanting to be so picky, I tolerated it as graceful as I could. After we had dated awhile I told him how I felt about the Tuna pizza. Now when we get pizza we sometimes refer to our Tuna pizza and share a special memory. Favorite pizza was CASSANOS, in the early70’s. In Dayton or Kettering Ohio. Thin & crispy and cut into pieces. (Not sliced in triangles) but pieces. Pepperoni. ❣️
Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you. Especially thanks to Melissa for the written copy of the recipes❣️❣️.
The pizza looks really good. Love that clear glass bowl. I have hand written recipes my Mom gave me in a small wooden recipe box 44 years ago when I got married.
Lou Malnati’s in the Chicago area has the best pizza, deep dish or thin crust. They will ship it to you. I order it quite often!
Andy's Pizza and Steakhouse in Dunlap Tennessee. They used to be in Richmond KY when I was at EKU from 73-75 but at some point they moved down there and we found them again. They're as wonderful now as they were then! We drove 3 1/2 hours to eat there again and it hasn't changed a bit. That first bite took me back to my EKU days. Fantastic!!!❤❤
If you are ever in Oakridge, Tn. You have to eat at Big Ed’s pizza they still toss the dough in the air and the pizza is absolutely amazing. I absolutely love your videos I have learned a lot from watching you are an amazing teacher. Merry Christmas!🎄
As a fellow Ketuckian…born in Harrodsburg with ties in Somerset and Louisville, transplanted to Northeast Tennessee (Johnson City) Johnny Brusco’s is my favorite. Close second is Gregs. Keep up the great videos.❤️
Alesis pizza Lafayette , Louisiana
We always get Shrimp&Jalopenos with Provolone cheese on
top with onions and green peppers
What a lovely tribute to
your Mom. I am fortunate to have my mothers and grandmothers recipe box with a ton of family recipes in their own handwriting. I cherish it dearly since they are no longer with us. Who doesn’t love 🍕!!!
Perhaps photo copy their recipes to create a recipe book to pass on to your children.
@@charlieann456 have done that thanks
That's a great tip sprinkling the salt on the pan....I'll have to try that. There's no place in the world I'd rather have pizza from than what I can make in my own kitchen. 👍
I'm making homemade pizza Friday night so this video was right up my alley. I also like a lot of pizza sauce. We don't go out for pizza anymore, I just make it here at home. When we had "Papa Murphy's-Take-n-Bake pizza", that was the only place we ate pizza from. They are no longer in Nicholasville, but I think they still have a couple of places in Lexington and Louisville. They will make the pizza right in front of you, but they don't bake it. You take it home and bake it yourself. That way it is nice and hot fresh out of the oven. They make the pizza on an oven-safe tray and you bake the pizza directly on that tray. They include instructions for baking the pizza, but we were old pros since we ate from there about once every 2 weeks. My favorite was the "Herb Chicken Mediterranean" which included the ingredients of....
Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herbs, Chopped Garlic, Crumbled Feta, Whole-Milk Mozzarella, and Olive Oil & Garlic Sauce......what I liked about it was that it was on a very thin crust and the sauce was made up of olive oil and finely crushed garlic. You can check out their website if that sounds like something you may want to try one day. Wish I had, had you all as my teachers, life would have been more interesting. Tom, you've got the perfect teacher voice and I could listen to you talk all day. You remind me so much of a favorite math teacher I had in HS. He was actually everyone's favorite teacher. I love watching you cook and hearing about your and Melissa's life and adventures. We need to get Melissa in front of the camera to do a cooking segment.
I made your bacon corn chowder recipe today..It was so good. Doubled the amount, shared it with co workers, it was completely gone. Everyone
really enjoyed
it.❤
Looks delicious and i love how y'all go back in time and create the original recipe. Memories of foods is so unforgettable!
I love your streaming videos. I have tried quite a few of your recipes, and I have loved them all.
Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.
You made this look so much easier than I thought it would be.
Our favorite pizza was called the Mona Lisa from De Vinci's Pizza. They're in B'ham, Al. We haven't lived there since 1983 but they're still there. We live in MI now but we've never forgotten how delicious their pizza was.
I'll just have to try your recipe to see if I can come up with another favorite.😊
I live in a small town of a little over 2000+ people…while I love homemade pizza, we like to order out once in a while…we order from a pizza place called The Titanium Lunchbox…they are golfers so that is how they named the place
My favorite pizza is Aroma pizza in ft Wayne in. You mentioned salt on the pizza pan. Aroma uses cornmeal as I do. Also i 27:16 always wait a while after the pizza has started to bake before putting on my cheese. Don’t like burnt cheese😊 26:56
From a 63 year old pizza addict, J&G Pizza in Manchester TN is hands down the best. I grew up on Canadian bacon pizza cut in squares. Closed on Mondays.
Hey Tom - I stumbled upon your channel before the holidays, and have really enjoyed all the things you have shared - especially the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and now the "Souper Bowl" series. I look forward to each new video. I am commenting today to say - I am 76 years old - love to cook and bake - and have NEVER heard of a Danish Whisk before. I have looked it up online - and am impressed by the comments on it - and I just ordered one from Amazon!! : ) Thank you for for your great videos - and for showing me a new fun tool!! Bless you guys. ❤ and Thank You for the pizza crust recipe!
The best Pizza I ever ate came from a Pizza Stube in Germany.
*Pizza-Stube is an Italian restaurant that offers pizza, grocery delivery, and takeout*
I love veggie pizza with onions, bell pepper, black olives,spinach, and zucchini. I also like pepperoni or ground beef. We only have chain pizza places near us. We love to make our own. Thanks for sharing your special recipe. Love your channel!
Oh my yum 🤤
I enjoy your program and have tried a lot of your recipes. Thanks and keep on making these great recpies. Theres nothing better than recpies thats already been tried to know they are good
Your pizza recipe looks very interesting. Bless your mom for her pizza and everything she has done.
Rotolo's in Columbus, Ohio. 50 years and still going strong.
As I’m watching this I am eating your taco soup. Now I’m going to make pizza next. I love your recipes!
TH-cam needed your show for the home cooks!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
You showed me something tonight that I am definitely going to try. I am 74 years old and I have never seen the cheese on top of the toppings it was always the cheese put down and then the toppings I like the idea very much and I’m going to give it a try I am also going to put salt at the bottom of the pan I also like my sauce edge to edge just like my toast I want the butter edge to edge. Thank you
Sorrentos in San Marcos California. Best pizza and lazagna. Family owned and everthing is homemade. The owner goes in at 3 am everyday to make the sauce from scratch!❤
Best pizza for me was in a little place in Aguas Calientes, Peru, that sits just below Machu Picchu. It was baked in a wood fired oven. I don't even remember what it had on it, but it could've been the place and friends we were with that made it so special.
Pizza Madness in Maui is our favorite!
I have to say I just love when Tom has his first bite haha also I love how you have your mums old hand written recipes I have a few of those too I love them
We didn’t eat out growing up, but every year, the night before we left for our 2 week camping trip, we would go to The Quonset Hut in Waukegan Illinois, for pizza. It’s still there; they had the best Pizza & Italian sausage bombers. Such great memories.
These days I love Jet's Detroit Style Pizza with supreme toppings ❤. I also like frozen Tombstone supreme lol better for my budget.
We have a Castaways restaurant in Lancaster Ohio. They serve everything from pizza to fine steak dinners. They have been in business since the early 1950's. My favorite pizza comes from Sugar Bears Pizzeria. Usually just plain cheese, but on occasion I get the deluxe which has pepperoni, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and mild pepper rings. Delicious.
What a lovely honoring of your mother... It looks like a yummy recipe.
It really is! We did enjoy it very much and we love making it even thinner as well. Really, there is not much pizza we don't like. Thanks so much for watching our channel. Hope you're staying warm on this cold winter's day.
Fantastic pizza dough !! Thank you for the recipe!!
Love the tip about the salt on the bottom of the pizza pan. I don't eat a lot of pizza, due to dietary restrictions, but I love ham, hamburger, & bacon on my pizza. Love y'alls videos!!
I LOVE 🍕 it, But, me neither, had Heart Surgery in 2022 and have Diabetes.
I LOVE SOOO MANY OF THEIR RECIPES, BUT TOO MUCH BUTTER, SUGAR AND SOMETIMES THE CANNED BISCUITS FROM STORE.
LIMITED ON SALT, TOO 😕.
STILL, LOVE BEING AT THE TABLE HERE WITH TOM & MELISSA
😊💙🙏✝️🙌
Kraus's pizza Massillon, Ohio is the best. The Mids sauce is made in Navarre,Ohio which is in the same area. Hope you get to try it.
I love how you cherish your mom's recipe!
