🍕 Pizza Styles, Secret Spots, and What Makes a Great Pizza
Pizza is serious business - here's what the experts know!
Pizza styles:
- Neapolitan - soft, floppy, soggy center, fresh mozzarella
- Roman - super thin and crispy like a cracker
- Chicago - thick deep dish
Perfect Neapolitan pizza: 800°F oven, cooked in just 65-70 seconds, charred edges, soggy center.
The sauce rule: Never cook pizza sauce! Blend tomatoes, basil, salt, and olive oil. Raw acidity balances the cheese.
Pro tip: Always order a margherita to judge a pizza place.
Must-visit spots:
- Razza - Jersey City
- Roberta's - Brooklyn
- Pizzeria Sei - Los Angeles
- Bianco - Phoenix (grows their own wheat!)
- L'Antica da Michele - Naples, Italy
