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
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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❤
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.
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 😀
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 😋).
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?
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.
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!!!❤❤
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
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.❤
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.❤️
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!
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 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.
@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 😔 😊.
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!
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.
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
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 😊💙🙏✝️🙌
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.
Looks so good. I want to try making this. I don't like a dry pizza either so it's really frustrating when i order one with extra sauce but they NEVER put extra sauce so making a homemade one would be perfect for my family. Thank you kindly!
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.
Hello, I love homemade pizza it's lovely that you have your Mother's that is always precious. Also i like the way that Melissa asks questions that us viewers can't. ❤❤
The best pizza I have ever had was in Michigan. It's called Buccilli's , a family owned restaurant located in Clare, and Houghton Lake/Prudenville. Absolutely delicious!! My favorite topping is pepperoni, but I also like ham and pineapple. A funny story - my aunt and uncle were visiting Italy and ordered a pizza. They were asked what they wanted on it and they responded - plain. When the pizza arrived it was crust and sauce, no cheese!! Thanks for sharing and continued good health to both of you! ❤❤❤
I used to get their pizza, but at their original location in Almont, Michigan, which is still open. I used to go to school with their daughter, Penny, back in the 80's. We both went to Armada schools, which wasn't far from Almont. They also have amazing cakes! My mom always loved their cherry nut cake. We bought them for her birthday several times. It's not every day that you see someone on TH-cam mention a local place, not to mention a great pizza place started by the family you know and have eaten many times! ❤
I guess the original was in Clare, I always thought it was Almont. That's the only one we knew of. Next time I'm in Clare for a visit to Coos & Donuts, I'm going to have to try that Buccillis location. I'd hope their pizza tastes the same as I remember at the Almont location. ❤
A video I missed! I don't know how that happened. When I first discovered your channel I literally binge watched every video. I'm totally with you Tom on the less bread, more pizza. I never eat the crust unless it's stuffed crust. I always order the thin and crispy crust. I can't say I have a favorite topping because I pretty much love them all. Except pineapple but even that I don't hate. My favorite pizza is the meat lovers from Pizza Hut.
What a wonderful recipe. I used to work in a pizza restaurant and learned how to throw dough, which I truly miss doing. I will definitely try this dough. The pizza looks amazing.
We chose to make a simple pepperoni pizza that night, but the crust made it so good. We really did enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really love having you joining us at the table.
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.

Detroit style pizza (deep dish) at Buddy's in Michigan is the best. It's a franchise throughout SE Mich. The Pepperoni is baked UNDER the cheese! It was on The Food Network once and if I remember correctly, it was rated in the TOP 3 in the United States. Love your channel.
❤ the pizza! My favorite place right now for pizza is in the small town I live in! They have the real pizza ovens to make that crust crispy! But they are expensive so always looking for recipes to make at home ! Cheaper! I love just meats and really just pepperoni! This looks like the best ! ❤I’m from Michigan!
I made this for our dinner tonight and it was delicious. Putting the egg yolk in the dough made it richer than any pizza dough I have had before. I think this will be a staple at our house now. Thanks, Tom and Melissa!
Can't wait to try your mom's pizza crust! When in San Diego, California, you have to eat at Filippi's Pizza! It's the best, and you won't be disappointed 🥰
My favorite pizza places are Larosa’s, Giordano‘s,and Trotta’s pizza. My favorite toppings are pepperoni, bacon, and tomatoes! Love the video, thank you so much!
I have tons of recipes handwritten by my Mama and I love getting them out and reading them bc she included tips that would help me make the recipe better. I knew she had made it before and knew what makes it better. She’s no longer with us so I cherish those recipes even more. My favorite place to eat pizza has been closed for years and years. We ate there when I was a child up until I was eleven yrs old. It was Shakey’s Pizza in Monroe, LA. Thirty minutes from Bastrop, LA, my home town. They made pizza in front of a window where we could stand and watch them and the pizza was fantastic! They also had a player piano. That was special. Our entire family would go once each week on Friday or Saturday. Usually Friday night bc my Daddy watched LSU football on Saturday. There was no way he was missing those games and I was with him on that. He instilled that love for his team in me even as a child! Thanks for this pizza recipe. I’m going to try this pizza dough. But when I put my pizza together I gotta cut way back on that sauce! lol
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.
Yum! Looks delicious and easy! My favorite toppings are Pepperoni, mushrooms and ground beef with extra cheese! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day!
My favorite pizza is the ones I make at home. I normally make thin crust, and I make the mini pizzas. Sometimes I will use the naan bread. It makes a really good crust! My favorite toppings, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms and green onion tops. I have found it better to put just a little olive oil in the center of the pizza crust then rub it all ovet the crust. (Use just a few drops, but enough to cover the circumference of the dough). I put the pizzas directly in the oven rack. It gets them crispier than an aluminum pan.
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!❤
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 ❤
I have made your pizza many times and I always remember the salt. Had to come back and watch again tonight because I could not for the life of me remember if you sprayed the pan. 😂😂
I like making homemade pizza. But if you all are ever in Anchorage, Alaska visit Moose’s Tooth pizza-it’s the best for going out on a date with your sweetie
To pop open a tough jar, you can use a bottle opener (mine is on my can opener!) and lift the lid with it slightly - it lets the air out and the top pops, then opening is a breeze!
Tom and Melissa, i don't know what was better. The video of making pizza 🍕🤤 or the comments of everyone's favorite pizza places & toppings from the US to New Zealand. I hope I made some friends. (Pepperoni, red & green peppers, mushrooms, black olives & green onions here)
My favorite pizza was from Pizza Oven in Lockport NY. The sauce is a little sweet, which caramelized the edges of the pepperoni as it baked. I haven’t lived in that area for 23 years, so it may no longer be there. Your pizza looks delicious. Your mother’s handwritten recipe is a treasure!
I live in Suffolk County long Island NY and i grew up in Shirley NY. We had a fantastic pizzeria named Jaime's pizza the owner was frank and he and his son Joe ran the shop. It was very delicious 😋 food from the pizza to other special items. They sold it to someone else and they didn't keep the name. We miss them and the food. We live now in Patchogue Suffolk County long Island NY and we live on Waverly Avenue off exit 52 from sunrise highway south of sunrise highway we have a great place called Alvarez pizzeria. The guys who own it are very nice and very friendly. They are Spanish and Italian and they have some great food and recipes that remind me and my boyfriend of the food we had growing up.
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.
Our family is from Utah, we love Papa Murphys pizza, they don't cook it for you it is a take and bake pizza but it is so good. I enjoy watching your you tube channel. Hope you and your wife have a wonderful week.
pizza shop tucked back in the elk mall in Gatlinburg Tn., it was an Italian family who spoke very little English but it was wonderful. we speak of it often.
Thanks again for all the great recipes. 😊 My favorite place for pizza is a place called, "Frank's Pizzeria" it's located in Silvis IL. I'm 63 and have been eating there all my life. We live in Missouri and we drive 4.5 hrs to have pizza and visit with friends. The same family still owns and operates the restaurant.
We are in Missouri there’s a place in Branson Star Bar Grill that makes excellent wood fired pizza. We go to Panama City Beach for part of the winter and love Nick’s pizza there.
My favorite pizza ~ Pizza Palace in Groton, CT. I’m from there and every time I go home I make sure I eat from there a couple of times. I highly recommend their moussaka pizza. Oh yum! My favorite pizza toppings are onion and sausage. Also black olives..
Have you ever had Detroit Style Pizza? I live in Michigan and have never had it. People say it is the best. I ordered the pan to make it. I just don’t to go to Detroit and have my car stolen again. There is a lot of good recipes for the Detroit Pizza. Your wife would love the way they dump the sauce on top of the pizza. Love your videos.
Ok Mellisa & Tom, We really love your channel. My husband Dennis loves everything on his pizza. I am like Tom no sausage for me. Although I love sausage! Will try this recipe. I love mushrooms, onions, peppers & pepperoni on pizza. Best pizza places are in NYC is John's! ❤❤
Our favorite place to eat pizza was Bills Pizza Pub in Greensboro NC that's where we went on our first date 41 years ago. It's no longer there but there is another one in Greensboro we eat at on our first date Anniversary. Thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe.🍕
You should get a "Chicago pan", made in Chicago for their pizzas. They're very dark in color and they make the crust really crispy and well done. I bought mine at Bed Bath and Beyond years ago. You can get it on line. You'll love it!
I don't add egg to my crust. Make mine dough a little tacky and don't need to let it rise. Roll my dough out, and it has elasticity. I put it on parchment paper and then the pan. I use the convection hot air fan in the oven to cook it on the bottom rack at 510 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes to cook it. Comes out perfect every time.
Looks so delicious. I tend to go vegetarian. Green peppers, onions, mushrooms, banana peppers, and black olives. Cassano's Pizza Piqua, Ohio. Haven't had in a while but it was great.
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

Love your show. I am 81years old. And still learning new things THANK you
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.
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.
I love that you put the recipe in the description. I don't like it when I have to go to another website for it. Thank you!!
You are a nice Man. You mentioned your Moms recipe written in her hand.

A little cornmeal scattered on the bottom of the pan is delicious.
Caruso's Pizza..in San Diego, Calif..1968...best Italian made pizza I have ever had..nothing has ever compared!!
Are they still in business? San Diego is a city I've not visited but it's definitely on the list!
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 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.
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❤

Looks delicious and i love how y'all go back in time and create the original recipe. Memories of foods is so unforgettable!
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 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.
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 😔 😊.
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 🤤
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.
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
Pasquales pizza in Newport, KY! YUM!!!
I like putting cornmeal on my pizza pan, butI think I want to try your mom’s dough😊
I like the " Sweep the kitchen" pizza from Johnny's in Ruston. La. Second favorite is Billy's Italian in Vicksburg , Mississippi.
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
😊💙🙏✝️🙌
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.
Looks so good. I want to try making this. I don't like a dry pizza either so it's really frustrating when i order one with extra sauce but they NEVER put extra sauce so making a homemade one would be perfect for my family. Thank you kindly!
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.
As I’m watching this I am eating your taco soup. Now I’m going to make pizza next. I love your recipes!
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.
I love watching your channel & all your recipes. Thank you so very much.
Hello, I love homemade pizza it's lovely that you have your Mother's that is always precious. Also i like the way that Melissa asks questions that us viewers can't. ❤❤
Pizza Madness in Maui is our favorite!
The best pizza I have ever had was in Michigan. It's called Buccilli's , a family owned restaurant located in Clare, and Houghton Lake/Prudenville. Absolutely delicious!! My favorite topping is pepperoni, but I also like ham and pineapple. A funny story - my aunt and uncle were visiting Italy and ordered a pizza. They were asked what they wanted on it and they responded - plain. When the pizza arrived it was crust and sauce, no cheese!! Thanks for sharing and continued good health to both of you! ❤❤❤
I used to get their pizza, but at their original location in Almont, Michigan, which is still open. I used to go to school with their daughter, Penny, back in the 80's. We both went to Armada schools, which wasn't far from Almont. They also have amazing cakes! My mom always loved their cherry nut cake. We bought them for her birthday several times.
It's not every day that you see someone on TH-cam mention a local place, not to mention a great pizza place started by the family you know and have eaten many times! ❤
I guess the original was in Clare, I always thought it was Almont. That's the only one we knew of. Next time I'm in Clare for a visit to Coos & Donuts, I'm going to have to try that Buccillis location. I'd hope their pizza tastes the same as I remember at the Almont location. ❤
A video I missed! I don't know how that happened. When I first discovered your channel I literally binge watched every video. I'm totally with you Tom on the less bread, more pizza. I never eat the crust unless it's stuffed crust. I always order the thin and crispy crust. I can't say I have a favorite topping because I pretty much love them all. Except pineapple but even that I don't hate. My favorite pizza is the meat lovers from Pizza Hut.
My favorite place to eat pizza is Pizza Hut. Or Pizza Place. They are both delicious.😊
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 ❤
What a wonderful recipe. I used to work in a pizza restaurant and learned how to throw dough, which I truly miss doing. I will definitely try this dough. The pizza looks amazing.
We chose to make a simple pepperoni pizza that night, but the crust made it so good. We really did enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really love having you joining us at the table.
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.

Detroit style pizza (deep dish) at Buddy's in Michigan is the best. It's a franchise throughout SE Mich. The Pepperoni is baked UNDER the cheese! It was on The Food Network once and if I remember correctly, it was rated in the TOP 3 in the United States. Love your channel.
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!
We're from east side of Cleveland. Our favorite pizza is Jets and my favorite toppings are pineapple and onions. I like sweet and sour anything 😋
I love how you cherish your mom's recipe!
I absolutely love this recipe. Thank you.
❤ the pizza! My favorite place right now for pizza is in the small town I live in! They have the real pizza ovens to make that crust crispy! But they are expensive so always looking for recipes to make at home ! Cheaper! I love just meats and really just pepperoni! This looks like the best ! ❤I’m from Michigan!
I made this for our dinner tonight and it was delicious. Putting the egg yolk in the dough made it richer than any pizza dough I have had before. I think this will be a staple at our house now. Thanks, Tom and Melissa!
Can't wait to try your mom's pizza crust! When in San Diego, California, you have to eat at Filippi's Pizza! It's the best, and you won't be disappointed 🥰
My favorite pizza places are Larosa’s, Giordano‘s,and Trotta’s pizza. My favorite toppings are pepperoni, bacon, and tomatoes! Love the video, thank you so much!
I have tons of recipes handwritten by my Mama and I love getting them out and reading them bc she included tips that would help me make the recipe better. I knew she had made it before and knew what makes it better. She’s no longer with us so I cherish those recipes even more.
My favorite place to eat pizza has been closed for years and years. We ate there when I was a child up until I was eleven yrs old. It was Shakey’s Pizza in Monroe, LA. Thirty minutes from Bastrop, LA, my home town. They made pizza in front of a window where we could stand and watch them and the pizza was fantastic! They also had a player piano. That was special. Our entire family would go once each week on Friday or Saturday. Usually Friday night bc my Daddy watched LSU football on Saturday. There was no way he was missing those games and I was with him on that. He instilled that love for his team in me even as a child!
Thanks for this pizza recipe. I’m going to try this pizza dough. But when I put my pizza together I gotta cut way back on that sauce! lol
Broadway Pizza in Renaissance Tower, downtown Dallas. YUM!!
Alfredo sauce and spinach!!
Guess what we're having for dinner tomorrow night. 🍕
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.
Yum! Looks delicious and easy! My favorite toppings are Pepperoni, mushrooms and ground beef with extra cheese! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day!
My favorite pizza is the ones I make at home. I normally make thin crust, and I make the mini pizzas. Sometimes I will use the naan bread. It makes a really good crust! My favorite toppings, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms and green onion tops. I have found it better to put just a little olive oil in the center of the pizza crust then rub it all ovet the crust. (Use just a few drops, but enough to cover the circumference of the dough). I put the pizzas directly in the oven rack. It gets them crispier than an aluminum pan.
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!❤
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 ❤
She was left handed and the most beautiful handwtiting..
I have made your pizza many times and I always remember the salt. Had to come back and watch again tonight because I could not for the life of me remember if you sprayed the pan. 😂😂
Best pizza is Cortese Restaurant located in Binghamton, New York. My favorite toppings are green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Love your videos!
I like making homemade pizza. But if you all are ever in Anchorage, Alaska visit Moose’s Tooth pizza-it’s the best for going out on a date with your sweetie
To pop open a tough jar, you can use a bottle opener (mine is on my can opener!) and lift the lid with it slightly - it lets the air out and the top pops, then opening is a breeze!
I grew up eating Freddy's pizzeria in Cicero Illinois. I just love their homemade pizza and Italian ice to go with it.
Tom and Melissa, i don't know what was better. The video of making pizza 🍕🤤 or the comments of everyone's favorite pizza places & toppings from the US to New Zealand. I hope I made some friends.
(Pepperoni, red & green peppers, mushrooms, black olives & green onions here)
Round Table...Combo is my Fav
My favorite pizza was from Pizza Oven in Lockport NY. The sauce is a little sweet, which caramelized the edges of the pepperoni as it baked. I haven’t lived in that area for 23 years, so it may no longer be there.
Your pizza looks delicious. Your mother’s handwritten recipe is a treasure!
I live in Suffolk County long Island NY and i grew up in Shirley NY. We had a fantastic pizzeria named Jaime's pizza the owner was frank and he and his son Joe ran the shop. It was very delicious 😋 food from the pizza to other special items. They sold it to someone else and they didn't keep the name. We miss them and the food. We live now in Patchogue Suffolk County long Island NY and we live on Waverly Avenue off exit 52 from sunrise highway south of sunrise highway we have a great place called Alvarez pizzeria. The guys who own it are very nice and very friendly. They are Spanish and Italian and they have some great food and recipes that remind me and my boyfriend of the food we had growing up.
I have often, lately, said "I turned the oven on, what happened!"😊
Recipies written from our loved ones who passed on is a treasure in our hearts.
Joe's Fox Hut in Fond du Lac Wisconsin !! Love , love your channel !!!!
Park Street Pizza in Sugar Creek Ohio
Makes the best pizza with ALL Fresh veggies and meats❤️😍
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.
My favorite pizza is from Fun House
Pizza in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Suburb of Kansas City. I have loved their pizza since the late 1960s. Yummy!
Best pizza near me is Moose’s in Kalispell,MT. Sawdust on the floor and a beer. The best. 👏
Our family is from Utah, we love Papa Murphys pizza, they don't cook it for you it is a take and bake pizza but it is so good. I enjoy watching your you tube channel. Hope you and your wife have a wonderful week.
pizza shop tucked back in the elk mall in Gatlinburg Tn., it was an Italian family who spoke very little English but it was wonderful. we speak of it often.
I like regular pizza sauce with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and pineapple. Of course cheese. It is sooooo good! Just try it!
Thanks again for all the great recipes. 😊 My favorite place for pizza is a place called, "Frank's Pizzeria" it's located in Silvis IL. I'm 63 and have been eating there all my life. We live in Missouri and we drive 4.5 hrs to have pizza and visit with friends. The same family still owns and operates the restaurant.
We are in Missouri there’s a place in Branson Star Bar Grill that makes excellent wood fired pizza. We go to Panama City Beach for part of the winter and love Nick’s pizza there.
My favorite pizza ~ Pizza Palace in Groton, CT. I’m from there and every time I go home I make sure I eat from there a couple of times. I highly recommend their moussaka pizza. Oh yum! My favorite pizza toppings are onion and sausage. Also black olives..
Have you ever had Detroit Style Pizza? I live in Michigan and have never had it. People say it is the best. I ordered the pan to make it. I just don’t to go to Detroit and have my car stolen again. There is a lot of good recipes for the Detroit Pizza. Your wife would love the way they dump the sauce on top of the pizza. Love your videos.
Buddy's pizza in Detroit area are the absolute best. Was rated the top 3 pizzas in America by The Food Network!
Oh, Buddys...yes indeed!
Lenny and John's on Flatbush Ave. Brooklyn NY. Best pizza ever.
Ok Mellisa & Tom, We really love your channel. My husband Dennis loves everything on his pizza. I am like Tom no sausage for me. Although I love sausage! Will try this recipe. I love mushrooms, onions, peppers & pepperoni on pizza. Best pizza places are in NYC is John's! ❤❤
Our favorite place to eat pizza was Bills Pizza Pub in Greensboro NC that's where we went on our first date 41 years ago. It's no longer there but there is another one in Greensboro we eat at on our first date Anniversary. Thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe.🍕
You should get a "Chicago pan", made in Chicago for their pizzas. They're very dark in color and they make the crust really crispy and well done. I bought mine at Bed Bath and Beyond years ago. You can get it on line. You'll love it!
I don't add egg to my crust. Make mine dough a little tacky and don't need to let it rise. Roll my dough out, and it has elasticity. I put it on parchment paper and then the pan. I use the convection hot air fan in the oven to cook it on the bottom rack at 510 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes to cook it. Comes out perfect every time.
We really love Angelo's in Buxton NC on Hatteras. We also like pepperoni, onion, peppers, ground beef. ❤❤
Thanks for the pizza recommendation on Hatteras.
Looks so delicious. I tend to go vegetarian. Green peppers, onions, mushrooms, banana peppers, and black olives.
Cassano's Pizza Piqua, Ohio. Haven't had in a while but it was great.
