Another Rest in Peace: Tom Lehmann, “The Dough Doctor”

Written By Peter Reinhart

This has been a brutal year for so many of us and, with great sadness, we say farewell to the beloved “Dough Doctor,” Tom Lehmann, who succumbed to Covid last week. I had the privilege to sit on a few dough panels with Tom, who knew more about dough science than all of us combined, and who took such pleasure in sharing his knowledge with the world. He is the one columnist who was allowed to publish in both PMQ and Pizza Today because, well, his columns were so popular and a must read for anyone in the pizza game.  Tom, you will be missed and never replaced. May your memory be eternal.

For more on Tom’s life and contributions to the pizza community, here is an article from PMQ

Vision Statement

Pizza Quest is a site dedicated to the exploration of artisanship in all forms, wherever we find it, but especially through the literal and metaphorical image of pizza. As we share our own quest for the perfect pizza we invite all of you to join us and share your journeys too. We have discovered that you never know what engaging roads and side paths will reveal themselves on this quest, but we do know that there are many kindred spirits out there, passionate artisans, doing all sorts of amazing things. These are the stories we want to discover, and we invite you to jump on the proverbial bus and join us on this, our never ending pizza quest.
