Tony Gemignani’s Coney Island Pizza
As many of you know, Chris Bianco has joined forces with Rob DiNapoli of DiNapoli Specialty Foods. They have come up with a new product that Chris had been nudging Rob to create for some time. There has been a limited supply of their new Bianco DiNapoli Organic Tomatoes available at some select pizzerias and restaurants and we have been lucky enough to be “in the loop!” I happen to…Read More…
The Big Reveal: Part One
The following is an article I wrote, with Brad’s help, to be sent to various beer blogs to alert them to the big event next week in Denver. We’ve been writing about here for a number of weeks, and on Thursday I’ll post the Challenge Pizza dough recipe, but I thought I’d share the article with all you as a way of recapping the past few posts and to give…Read More…

Hens, Mussels, Devils, and Ears
New York. I grew up in New Jersey. New York was the big beast that my dad went off to on a hot — or cold — bus for the day, depending on the time of year. Unfortunately, the bus wasn’t cold in the summer and it wasn’t hot in the winter the way you would like it to be (as he tells it). Either way, it was a long…Read More…
A Championship Margherita by Tony Gemignani, part 2
I was mistaken last week when I said the Margherita that Tony made was his World Championship version. Actually, this week is the version that won it all. As it turns out, last week’s pizza was made with Caputo flour and this week’s is made with San Felice flour. When Tony won the World Championship in Naples, which he’ll talk about a little in this week’s segment, he used the…Read More…
Teresa’s Dessert Pizza
Lately I have been thinking a lot about some ways to enjoy dessert pizzas that you could get excited about and have your family and friends talking about too. I thought maybe a cheesecake base with fresh fruit on top would be a satisfying, delicious ending to a pizza party, picnic or camp out. This pizza is great tasting while it’s still hot, cooled down or even cold from the…Read More…
Peter’s Blog, Sept. 13, 2011
Thanks to our intrepid producer, Brad English, we’re about to get a sneak peek at the Challenge Beer created by our friends at The Bruery. Brad only got to taste the unfermented wort, as the finished beer won’t be ready till it’s unveiled at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) on Sept. 30th. We’ll all be there, making the Challenge Pizza created by Kelly Whitaker and Alan Henin of Pizzeria…Read More…
Chris Bianco’s Bianco Verde with a twist…
As many of you saw in a recent Guest Column, my sister finally made the trip to Pizzeria Bianco last month (a trip, I have yet to make)! If you read her story, you can see how she tortured me for years – teasing me about her trips to visit family in Phoenix and the possibility of going, and then after, baiting me with texts and emails; or her plans…Read More…
