Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart

Hang onto your hats this week because Scott is about to reveal the deep, dark Swedish soul through two strangely compelling boxes most of you have probably never seen before. Omnipolis Hat is the name of the pizzeria in Stockholm and their box will, frankly, blow your mind, as will a second box (yes, another twofer from Scott!) that taps into the grim (think Grimm) mythic folkloric tradition of Scandinavia…Read More…

Scott Wiener is back with another one of his more than 1,500 boxes, this time paying homage to classic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. When you think about it, these tall, heavy pizzas need a box of their own, strong enough to stand up to the unique size and weight. And Scott is here to tell us all about them in another episode of Pizza Box of the Week. Take it…Read More…

The Yodi’s are back and John Arena has brought along his partner and future Yodi, Chris Decker,  to show us how they make Metro Pizza’s most popular pie, The Old New York. It’s really a pretty simple, noble pie; sauce and cheese and basil — kind of an American-style Margherita — but the reason this episode is so important is that it’s like taking a Master Class in how to…Read More…

And, now, here it is (thank you Dan and Brad)!  One of the things that really differentiates…Read More…

And you’re seeing it here — a prototype — before it even hits the market (but what better time for it than now, right?). Plus, hang in there for a bonus box — yes, this week you get a twofer…Read More…

Nicky is also an international baking champion, representing the United States as captain…Read More…

The Pizza Goon lives!

In this lively conversation and demo, John takes us deep into his creative process, shares some recipes and culinary history,  as well giving us a glimpse of his…Read More…
