The Descendents are Pizzalicious

Here is a good one from Pizzalicious contributor, Harris Middleton(Saikyo78)

don't get saucy!

Degreaser Drip Station 9000

Yesterday I posted a video about degreasing pizza. That was just one method. Scott of Scott's Pizza Tours also muses on the best way to degrease a slice. I imagine he has seen a few degreasers in his pizza touring so surely he must know the way...

How to degrease pizza

Just another way to reduce your consumption of pizza grease...  

Degreasing Pizza or Lose Weight! Eat (only) Pizza (for 15 years)!

My friend Will recently posted this video on Facebook. In it this dude talks about how he has only eaten pizza for the last 15 years and suspects he has lost weight (>30lbs) just from blotting the grease off his pizza. He explains, in detail, this amazing weight loss technique! Always consult a pizza doctor before implementing any pizza weight loss techniques. from the original poster ulillillia "For about 15 years, I've been degreasing pizza. That is, I soak up the grease on pizzas before I even start eating them. From my experiences, this is an effective weight loss technique and it works on many things. For a McDonald's hamburger (the really greasy ones, from what I remember before 2004, the last time I had meat), simply order the burger with all the components separate (the lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, cheese, etc.). For a pizza, it's much easier... until you start adding certain toppings like spices, parmasean (sp. ?), or garlic as t...

Dr. Ho's Humble Pie - Charlottesville VA

Last weekend I went to the Wayside Center For Popular Education and cooked for about 200 people at the Wayside Commons Party ! It was awesome. The Wayside Center is a great place for activists, organizers and all citizens to connect, make friends, learn, grow and relax - what could be more worthy of  celebration!? The menu didn't include pizza, but  rather some delicious lamb tacos from the Southwood Alliance , cucumber salad from Root Force Collective Farm , and  lots of other yummy ho-made things from me and the kitchen volunteers. quiche, apple cobbler, cheese grits, chili and more! Whew! It was a lot of work for a great cause and I was happy to do it but by the end of the weekend I was kitchened out! I took a dip in the creek and then headed to Dr. Ho's Humble Pie for pizza with my friends!  JP and his friend from Norfolk Food Not Bombs , Niels and Emily from Root Force, Jeff and his son Ammon (who is planning C'villes first Horror Film Festival - The Blue Ri...

Pappy's Poor Man Pizza (VEGAN!)

Yesterday my friend Kenny shared a cute recipe with me that his grandpappy shared with him. he called it Pappy's Poor Man Pizza. We made a vegan version because, well, Kenny is Vegan. It was DELICIOUS! Pizza is for everyone! We used Diya brand vegan cheese and it is great for pizzas! You even get the ninja turtle cheese stretch.  Bonus! Ingredients: -Baguette - Veganaise -Tomatoes from Root Force Collective Farm   -Basil from Root Force Collective Farm -Salt and Pepper to taste - Diya Mozza Style Vegan Cheese Directions: Slice Baguette and schmear with Veganaise.  Top with basil, tomato, salt, pepper, and cheese. Broil in oven until cheese is melty and awesome. Devour with a friend while watching Crooklyn (Pizza is always made better by the accompaniment of a good friend)  Take a pic and send it to Pizzalicious!

The Dalai Lama is not so Pizzalicious

LOL! JK! He totally is. This is adorable! Thanks to Will for the heads up on this one.

The New York Times is Pizzalicious!

Actually, We've posted a few NYT items on Pizzalicious! In this one, Melissa Clark hosts a pretty cute tutorial about making pizza at home . I'm sure pizza purists out there will have some beefs but I think there is a lot she gets right and overall this is a great tutorial. She has definitely done her homework and has even studied with Andrew Feinberg (of Franny's fame). I'm stoked to see other pizzalicious ladies out there and I'd love to make a pie with her. Check it out! Beef! 1. She doesn't make her own dough. No big deal. I perfer to make my own but some store bought ones like the ones from Pizza Tonight are pretty great. Plus you get high fives for supporting your local pizza joint even when you are cooking at home. 2.  She doesn't have a peel. No big deal. Lots of people don't. I have a good one that I love and it is great for bread and other baking stuff too. But her pan slide method works great! 3. She finishes the pie under the broile...

Protest powered by pizza.

Photos: Ian's Pizza on State St. www.ianspizza.com Ian's on Twitter Ian's on Facebook  For over a week union supporters in Wisconsin have been protesting outside the capital in an attempt to protect public employees from a bill that would eliminate their collective bargaining rights. Although union representatives have agreed to the financial concessions Gov. Scott Walker (R) wants in exchange for keeping their collective bargaining rights Walker has remained unwilling to compromise on the bill and told the local Fox News affiliate that "We're willing to take this as long as it takes because in the end we're doing the right thing."  Tens of thousands of people have made their way to the capital and union supporters from Wisconsin and the rest of the country have flooded the streets of Madison in protest.  Those people are hungry for dignity, justice and pizza.   Less than one block away from the state capital is Ian's Pizza By the Slice on State S...

Pizza Tonight is Pizzalicious!

  I recently stopped over at the South-er of the James Farmers Market to check out the goods of local pizzaiola Victoria Aracri Deroche ’s new biz Pizza Tonight . Pizza Tonight is purveyor of artisan pizza kits, dough, sauces, antipasti and magic sprinkles. Deroche is the brain behind the exclusive and mysterious local Pizza Club. Finally she has brought her expertise to the masses by crafting dough and sauce and boxing them up with creative toppings and directions making DIY pizza easier than ever. I dropped by the Pizza Tonight booth and picked up a beautifully boxed and labeled sausage pizza kit . The kit was $15 and contained:      -Instructions      -Two Neapolitan artisan doughs      -8oz of  homemade marinara sauce      -Magic sprinkles (spices)      -Della Nonna sausage from Sausage Craft    Sausage Craft is also a locavore favorite from the kitchen o...

Vahchef is Pizzalicious

Chef Sanjay Thumma is adorable! He needs a show on the Cooking Channel immediately! In this video he is SO excited about pizza. I love that he put his own spin on toppings. "When bunch of guys get together to watch a sports channel they want pizza, When bunch of ladies get together to having a kitty party they- want some quick bite- it's pizza. Ask a kid what they want- it's pizza" So true. Check him out at http://www.vahrehvah.com/

Best Pizza in Richmond

Lots of my pizzalicious friends have been pointing out that Richmond.com currently has a poll on their site for the best pizza in Richmond. However, it has also come to our attention that they have left out several notable pizzerias, namely Jo-Jo's, Sette and Tarantino's.  Here on Pizzalicious we have tried to come up with a more comprehensive list of  beloved pizzerias in order to find out who is REALLY the best. vote away! Leave a comment with any joints we missed.

Thanks to my pizzalicious pal, Rude Robbie at Robert Smolko Graphic Design for the heads up. Of course I already have one of Cleo Dee's Pizza Squids. The only thing I love as much as pizza is cephalopods. I'm definitely trying to get my hands on some pizza-scented soap or candles.  Ha!
