My first pizza post.
Pizza is easy to make. Great pizza ... not so easy. A handful of variables need to fall perfectly into place in order to obtain a quality pizza. The elements of a great pizza are: crust, sauce, cheese, garnish and heat. Yes, of course you can put toppings on your pizza. But, the test of a true pizza is the classic neapolitan margherita. Crust, sauce, cheese and basil. THAT'S IT!
We grew up on pizza. My extended Italian/Irish family all were raised in the Greater Waterbury, Connecticut area. Therefore, we were close to and heavily influenced by New Haven Style pizza. New Haven Style was said to be originated by Frank Pepe's Pizza on historic Wooster Street in New Haven. This style which I will go into in some detail, was then later reproduced at other classic New Haven establishments such as Sally's and Modern.
