So, no promises, but our plan is a new Peter’s Blog…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of August 22nd

As summer begins to wane and autumn slowly fades in through the falling and changing leaves (for me, summer seems to end when August ends, not on Sept. 21s), here at Pizza Quest we find ourselves in transition too, moving from the Central Coast of California up to San Francisco to visit with Tony Gemignani, for a whole new adventure and series of webisodes featuring this world champion pizzaiolo. On…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of August 15th

We left the Cass House Inn at the end of last week and are about to head back to San Francisco, where we’ll be spending some time with super pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani. But, before we get there, we have to return one final time for a little dessert at The Taco Temple (you didn’t think we were finished with that place, did you?). Owner/chef Adam Pollard bragged to us about…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of Aug. 8th

This week marks the final segment of the Cass House Inn webisode series, featuring a spectacular lamb loin, with ratatouille and raitta prepared by Chef Jensen that evokes all the flavors of the lamb pizza shown in an earlier episode. In other words, an upscale version, the papa bear, of what we experienced in its offspring downscale baby bear version in the earlier video segment. It brought our visit with…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of Aug. 1st

Wow–it’s August already, which is really hard to believe (other than by this relentless cross country heat wave, which confirms that it is, indeed, August). So, this week we have some fun new material to post, including a Peter’s Blog on Tuesday about my trip to Philadelphia and the incredible pizza I had at Osteria. Brad English is also lending me a photo or two of his recent visit to…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of July 25th

I’m back after some wonderful R&R, and we have lots of new postings for you this week, beginning on Tuesday with the latest Peter’s Blog about my recent trip to the Caribbean full of some pretty amazing non-pizza meals. Can’t wait to fill you in…. On Wednesday, we’ll be posting Brad’s latest creation — a barbecue pizza that meets Tom Carrig’s recent BBQ rant (see the Guest Columns archive) —…Read More…

Coming Attractions, Week of July 18th

It’s mid-summer now, the tomatoes are coming in like crazy, baseball has started its second season, football pre-season practice might actually get the green light this week, and everybody is trying to get some R&R. This week, I’m taking some time off from Pizza Quest and calling in to the bullpen for relief. Brad English will be doing a Brad’s Blog this week in place of the Peter’s Blog, and…Read More…

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.
