A Crab Dip Pizza
How can I use crab on a pizza? I had crab – if not just out of the ocean fresh it was caught by my friends steamed and brought home to me. In my mind that’s far better than just caught fresh any day! As I hope you’ve already read, I had decided to make one pizza with some of the fresh cracked crab placed on top of the warm…Read More…

Just received a call from a friend of mine from Syracuse who said she received her latest copy of Better Homes & Gardens and saw the pizza article about me. I think it hit the news stands today. I don’t know when it will go digital but I just taped a narration voice-over for a short video on how to shape a pizza dough, which should show up on their…Read More…
Crab Season Pizza
Somewhere around mid-November every year the Dungeness Crabs of the West Coast begin to make their journey from the sea to our plates. This fact did not go under-utilized by our friends, the Wildermuth’s, who had invited us to join them on their trip to Oregon for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Due to family obligations we were unable to attend. We wanted to; we always do. We’ve had a standing invitation…Read More…

I’m still having trouble believing it’s already 2012. I still recall back in 1970 how long the run-up seemed to take to the Bi-Centennial in 1976 and I wondered what it was going to be like for me to be, amazingly 26 years old — an adult!– when it happened. Then, all of a sudden, it did happen, and then so many other things happened and the years just kept…Read More…
Peter’s Blog, January 6th, 2012, Good News!
Didn’t want you to wonder where we were but we’re still on holiday break. Today is Epiphany, the 12th Day of Christmas, and traditionally the day celebrated as the visitation and gifts of the Magi, the three wise men. We’ve kept our tree up and our Christmas lights on and now, in our neighborhood at least, we’re apparently the only ones left still celebrating Christmas. When our tree goes out…Read More…
Peter’s Blog: Year End Wrap Up
It’s the final day of 2011 and also the end of our first year of Pizza Quest. So, first, on behalf of the entire team (who I will name at the end), thank you for your loyal following of our journey, and for sharing your own. As riders on our metaphorical “bus,” you and we went to some great places together this year, including Pizzeria Mozza and La Brea Bakery…Read More…
Brad’s Signature Pizza with Sausage, Goat Cheese and Avocado
Being last isn’t always a bad thing. As I often say, one of my favorite pizzas to make is the one that develops with left over ingredients or by chance. Making pizzas is no small task. You don’t generally just make one pizza – at home anyway. You prep and throw a few pies together because it’s a bit of work and the operation does create a bit of a…Read More…
Final Webisode, Tony Gemignani, Respect the Craft
It’s fitting that we wrap up our first year of PizzaQuest.com with the final segment of our series with World Champion pizzaiolo, Tony Gemignani. We did it in grand fashion, climbing to the top of a hill above the Golden Gate Bridge, looking back on Tony’s new “kingdom.” It looks almost like the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz, and the view was truly majestic, as you will see…Read More…
Signature Pizza with Jalapeno Cured Bacon
I’m still working on my Pizza Quest Signature Pizza series. I set out to make a few versions to try with a glass or two of my Birra Basta. I can’t just let the keg sit there, right? It was all created to be used; The Bruery didn’t brew this beer to pour it down the drain. The makers of my “new” kegerator surely wanted beer to flow through it. …Read More…
Peters Blog, December 13th, 2011
Hard to believe how soon Christmas and Chanukah will be upon us. If you are like Susan and me, things start to get a little frantic around now, with too many things to get done and nowhere near the time to do so. So, as a favor to us all, we’ll be wrapping up this, our first year (yes, we actually launched on Dec. 14th of 2010 — wow, seems…Read More…
