It's not every day you get to write something for one of your favorite blogs. I'm truly honored to be part of Pizzalicious!!! If you know me, you know that I too have a true love for all things pizza and I'm always excited to see all the different takes and variations on it.

Does anyone remember this? It's one in a sea of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles books geared towards kids in the early 1990s. What's special about this one in particular is that it contains the recipe for the first pizza I ever got to make!!

Splinter's Eazy Pizzas are basically pizzas prepared on English muffins then baked in the oven. They're pretty simple, but there was something pretty great about being able to make your own pizzas as a kid with whatever toppings you could imagine. My sister and I came up with some pretty intense combinations!! It was always fun just to dig through the fridge and experiment.


Here's the link for the recipe: Splinter's Easy Pizzas!
They're still great for snacking or if you don't have a lot of time to cook!! Enjoy!!

I'm looking forward sharing what I find in my pizza travels on here!! I owe a big thank you to Lauren for always being awesome and for bringing me on board. Pizza Power!!!

Freezer Finds

Freezer Finds : Preheat the oven: Richmond is having a peak frozen pizza moment. Locally made frozen pizzas abound in Richmond. (Photo courtesy Billy Pie) An ice-cold pizza craze is taking over Richmond. The capital city is home to several burgeoning frozen pizza brands, many born of pandemic pivots as ways to save inventory, grow sales and expand options for folks dining at home. But the easy, pop-in-the-oven pick-me-ups have stuck around. From Chicago deep-dish and hand-tossed sourdough to neo-Neapolitan and vegan varieties, frozen pizzas are packing the coolers at an array of local establishments. Billy Pie For over two decades, baker Billy Fallen supplied Richmond’s eateries and grocers with remarkable sourdough bread, pasta, and pizza. In the fall of 2023, he left the restaurant world to focus on a veritable frozen pizza factory.  Getting the scale-up just right has been his work.

Tales of Pizza: Part Four: Barquitos

When I was a young student of Richmond Public Schools, we were often served a very weird pizza-like dish called "barquitos" for lunch in the cafeterium (cafeteria+auditorium+gymnasium).  I have NEVER been able to find out anything about barquito pizza on the internet. I did however, find out that barquito means little boat in Spanish. A barquito is basically a french bread pizza topped with seasoned taco meat (probably left over lunch the day before) and cheddar cheese.  I feel like maybe there was a similar dish with sloppy joe meat but who can really be sure. I have done my best to block out school lunch from my memories. What is this dish? I only ever had it in elementary school. Is it the concoction of a lunch lady? Is it a real food item? What is a barquito?
