Henry Rollins on the War on Pizza!

Henry Rollins defends pizza lovers of the USA. The legendary punk and front man of Black Flag weighs in on pizza, politics, war, Democrats, Republicans and Tea Partiers and more in this interview.  Particularly interesting is his view on the troubles of pizza lovers in this country.

 "War or pizza? Hmmmm, I think most people are going for pizza. But somehow that is politicized into 'If you like pizza you're weak on defense. If you like pizza you love the Taliban and are a Communist' and that's where it ends."

These outlandish and unfounded allegations will NOT be tolerated by the pizza-loving patriots of this country! Thank you Mr. Rollins for pointing out that pizza is a much more appetizing option than war, bullshit and sickening health-care system.

Props to my friend Will for the heads up on this one.

Pizza Nightmare

Ahhhhh.  I don't get "it."

SciuScià!

My good friend Earl Yevak is stationed in Iraq right now but he recently went on vacation in Italy and had some pizza at a place in Palermo called SciuScià. That means "shoeshine" in Italiano! I know Earl loves pizza and I'm looking forward to his posts.
-Lauren

Hello. Or maybe I should say "Ciao!?" Either way, greetings greetings. Lauren V. is one of my great friends, who I love dearly. 

Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to visit a few European Countries, and eat a lot of really great food. Since I was traveling on a budget my diet consisted mainly of pizza!! I was emailing back and forth with Lauren about some of the better places to visit while I was there, and also the better spots to eat. Although I wasn't able to make it to Naples, the birth place of pizza (*Lauren and I had a conversation earlier today about how there actually is a big debate that pizza originated in the middle east somewhere, but we won't get into that now), I was able to eat at a lot of really good tasting spots in some of the cities I visited. One of the better pizzerias I found was down in Palermo, a place called SciuScià.

The wait was about an hour, but well worth it. I was starving when I sat down, but they quickly brought an assortment of hush-puppies and french fries. My server, who was also the owner, was very sociable. I had already decided to try the spinach and Gorgonzola from reading through the menu while I was waiting. It came out in maybe 10-12 minutes, which was surprisingly fast, since the restaurant was packed as full as it could get. 

Something I failed to realize, due to my poor Italian, was that I had ordered a white pizza, instead of a red pizza. Now, I'm a pizza fan, probably in almost all of it's forms, but I do prefer red pizzas, so I was a little disappointed. However, it was delicious! I couldn't complain. 

As I mentioned before, I wasn't able to visit Naples, but from how I've heard the pizzas described from Naples, this is probably the closest to the real thing I've had (I guess literally and figuratively). About halfway through I got pretty full, and just relaxed and watched the crowds of families and friends laughing and carrying on. The atmosphere was very good. It wasn't too loud or quiet.

On the way out I noticed a room that was decorated with some information from trips the owner has taken to Africa. From what I understood, a portion of the restaurants profit goes to helping fund a few charities in various countries in Africa. Sooo... I would recommend eating here if you happen to be down in Sicily anytime soon. Get great food, and bless someone else's life also!

Oh I almost forgot, Sciuscià is located Via Dante, 212 90141 Palermo, Italy. Check it out!

This is our entry:

Halloween pizza!

Did you know that Halloween is one of the busiest nights of the year for pizza delivery? Sylvia Rector just wrote all about it in the Detroit Free Press. I hope my pal, A Pizza Girl, is hanging in there. There are lot of strange types about on Halloween, lots of nutters.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Some people are just so silly.

two for one!

My  best bud  Kelly posted this ridiculous necklace on my Facebook page. It is a 14K yellow gold slice with a couple of 3mm rubies for pepperoni.

ALSO 

The Richmond Tri-Cities area Little Caesars' are having a Halloween Costume Contest. the prize is FREE PIZZA FOR A YEAR! So of course my friend Will and I are diligently working on a pizza costume to blow all the other costumes our of the water! I'll follow  up with results after we win on  November 1.

 

Gary Busey, Lil John et. al. are Pizzalicious... I guess.

My friend Harris (AKA Saikyo78 who is also a Pizzalicious contributor) found this crazy link explaining how and more importantly why Gary Busey and the rest of these kunckle heads are Pizzalicious. Apparently the men of the new season of Celebrity Apprentice were slinging pies at New York location of the small Famous Famiglia Pizza chain. Supposedly it was for charity, so, good for them.

 From Moviefone:

(Gary) Busey, Lil Jon and country star John Rich roved the streets outside hoping to get customers, who were looking to come in from the miserable weather outside.

'Partridge Family' member David Cassidy, baseball player Jose Canseco, 'Sugar Ray' frontman Mark McGrath and 'Survivor' winner Richard Hatch manned the ovens at Famous Famiglia Pizzeria, while Meat Loaf tended to the register. No word on what the female members of this year's cast were doing, but it was probably something quiet and unassuming.

Pizza Boxes

My friend Alyssa posted this cute link to a ton of really interesting pizza box art. Of course I told her that many of them were in the collection of Scott Wiener of Scott's Pizza Tours.

Check out this really cute one from Jojo's Pizza Inn as photographed by Jimmy Tyler.

Campfire Pizza

Went on an outdoors adventure with some friends - a hike-in cabin in the mountains. We love to eat well, so we adapted our grilled pizza for the campfire. It was a lot different than we expected, here are some tips we learned to help your next back country adventure be as delicious as the scenery:

(photo by Phillip Stearns)

The Fire: our campsite had a grill rack that swung over the firepit- totally necessary for the pizza. The guys stoked the fire: hot coals, not flames, were what we needed, & it needed TLC to get there. The fire was a mix of fir & birch, downed wood from the area.

The Crust: Trader Joe's premade white pizza crust. This easy cheat was a big help in the prep, thou one crust, stretched into two pies, was not enough food for four hungry hikers. Next time I'll bring two.
Unlike in the oven or on the more even fire of the grill, we found the crust needed to be a lot thicker than normal to cook well. The first pie, a thin one, was a somewhat burned cracker that stuck maddeningly to the foil.

Foil: is foil the unsung hero of campfire eating? While the fire was turning to coals, we wrapped sliced onion & new potato & a whole head of garlic in foil, seasoned with pepper & stuck it into the inferno to get delicious. Leftovers were was used in the morning's roasted garlic hashbrowns.

For the pizzas, we ultimately ended up with little foil boats for the crust to cruise around in; top down when the raw crust was put on (we used pancake mix in lieu of cornmeal to keep it from sticking), and then, once the pies were topped, we folded the foil around it, creating personal ovens to keep the hot air from escaping into the cold night. They were spun around to ensure even heating.

The Sauce: my bff made killer fennel seed tomato sauce from scratch (with NY's bumper tomato year, fresh sauce was a must). Another key to camping, she froze it overnight so it would serve as an icepak for other coldstuffs.

Toppings: in addition to the firebaked garlicky onions & potatoes, we also had sliced red peppers (which we'd also have the following dinner), as well as manchego & a smoked gouda. Pizza was our first night on the trip, so even though we didn't have refrigeration, we indulged our love of cheese. That said, hard cheese held up much better than any mozzarella or softer cheese would have.

Manchego-Potato and Gouda-Pepper-Onion Pizzas- delicious!

When you've been hiking all day just about anything tastes good, but why sacrifice your gourmet ideals just because you're far from civilization? Lots can be done in advance, like sauces, spice mixes, & chopped ingredients- this way we only carry what we need.

Hope your next camp out is delicious too!!

Captain Picard is Pizzalicious

I wonder if Captain Picard ends every call to the pizza parlor with "That's an order!" I would eat pizza with Picard any day of the week.
















OMG. This is available for you to buy for me at Think Geek.

Epicute does Pizza

Since I was already trolling the icanhascheezburger universe yesterday I thought I would pop over to Epicute and see what they had going on with their pizza game. It isn't as tight as I had hoped for but there were some cute posts.

Exhibit A: Pizza Cats
So cute!













Exhibit B: Pizza Hearts
This is what my heart looks like for sure.

Justin Bieber is pizzalicious... I guess.

I saw these over at the Icanhascheezburger empire. Apparently these are actual quotes from Bieber's new autobiography. LOL!

Straight from Marcello's Mouth

My mom and older sister are in Vancouver, BC, Canada right now and are looking for a good pizza spot no doubt. I hope they find one and blog it when they get back!

I was looking for recommendations on Slice and I came across this wacky oven that was originally posted on the blog, This Is Pizza. I have just added it to the list of pizzalicious links.

This impressive oven is located in Marcello pizzeria in Vancouver. Their Neapolitan style wood-burning oven is in the shape of a sun with a face. I hope Mom and Rose get a chance to check it out.

The Wayside Center is Pizzalicious!

I have spent the better part of the last month or so raising money for the Wayside Center For Popular Education. As part of their first annual fundraiser, The Wayside Cup the Center invited people to form teams and find creative ways to raise money and then participate in a field day event. The team with the most points would win.

I formed Team Totally Awesome, and I have to say we were off to a great start. As team captain I pledged to raise $1000 and we made over $500 at our first fund raising event- a Cut-A-Thon hosted by the lovely ladies at Salon Bleu in Richmond.

Next we had a very successful bake sale at the South of the James Farmer's Market. We parked our bake sale boat right next to our friends and teammates from Root Force Collective Farm. It was another success and that night we celebrated at the benefit show where B.Ultra & Basic (pictured), Pixeltank, and El Radon played their amazing music. Some very skilled hula hoopers from RVA HoOp Lovers also performed. On this lovely day we made close to $300.

This is when Jeff Winder and I made a side bet. If Jeff's team, Nelson County Nirvana, raised more money that Team Totally Awesome, I would have to throw Jeff and his team a pizza party! If we won (which at the time seemed very likely) then Jeff would be throwing a pizza party for Team Totally Awesome.

Well my friends, it got down to the wire and we were very close. Jeff used my pizza skills to lure people into donating more money and in the end NCN raised $1,100 and TTA raised $1,020. That $80 lead means that I will be heading back to the Wayside Center to make pizza for Jeff. TTA May have gotten to $1,000 first, but believe it or not we actually came in 3rd place for money raised. Congrats to the Peanut Gallery from DC for raising $1,500! And congrats to DC Strikeforce for winning the Wayside Cup with the most points from the field day events, which included a scavenger hunt, three-legged race, water balloon toss, spelling bee, trivia, karaoke, tug of war, and an insane pie eating contest (in which the Tidewater Radnecks totally dominated).

The rest of the weekend was an incredible gathering of new and old friends, bonfires, hiking along train tracks, music and delicious food. I can't wait for the 2011 Wayside Cup. Also, I met a puppy.

I'm SO proud of my team, Emily, Kontra, and Laura, for working so hard and exceeding our goal. I'm really proud of all the teams that participated and worked to raise money to keep the Wayside Center going. We all raised over $8,000 in total, which feels really great.

We'll work out a Team Totally Awesome/Nelson County Nirvana pizza party and report back to you Pizzalicious Fans. In the mean time, There is still a lot of work to be done and money to be raised for the Wayside Center so check out their calendar of events and see if there is a conference you would like to attend or head over to the donation page and contribute what you can to support this radical place.

PizzaMoto

By: Videorose
Pizzamoto is a mobile pizza truck in Brooklyn, NY.

I've been meaning to try PizzaMoto when I see it around the city, at assorted street fairs, and finally got my chance on overcast Sunday's Atlantic Antic. It was definitely the highlight of the Antic (or maybe second to the vintage glass earrings I bought); hands down the best street pizza I've eaten. They bravely cart around a wood-fired oven, and they're slinging pizza into it as fast as they can to accommodate the steady line. Their $4 slices only come in 'plain', or it's perhaps a margherita? Some kind of delicious fresh mozz put raw in chunks on the pie that oozes across once baked, and a nicely tart and fresh-tasting tomato sauce. Best, once out of the oven, they finish it with a splash of olive oil ('Mmmm, drizzle" said the guy in line behind me). I top it with some oregano and we're good to go, fortified to survive the rest of the fair. It's no small feat to carry your own wood oven to assorted venues in Brooklyn, all in the name of a pizza done right. Thanks for lunch, PizzaMoto!

Google is (a little too) pizzalicious

Google's new Google Mobile commercial is very long and very pizzalicious. In true Google fashion there are hidden links and Easter eggs in this 10 minute long commercial. Plus towards the end he finally gets something to eat, but it isn't what you're expecting. So I guess that is Google making a joke.

Olsen Twins Remix

The Olsen Twins appear in this super creepy screwed up version of their Pizza Song.

Epic Pizza Delivery Scooter

Oh my gosh, watching this commercial made me almost have a heart attack. Then ending is great though.

Pizza-la song

This is a long form commercial for Pizza La  Pizza in Japan. Like most pizza commercials from Japan it is really weird. I don't speak Japanese and I couldn't find a version with subtitles. But from the looks of it, they start in Spain and end up in Russia....

Tower of Pizza

I should have blogged this a long time ago.  No that is not a tower of empty pizza boxes ready to be filled with hot pies for deliveries. That is a tower of empty pizza boxes, smeared with sauce and cheese remains of pies devoured by my friend Will. Will used to have a real problem with $5 Hot and Ready pizza. What started out as garbage by the back door grew into a hilarious inside joke between Will and his stomach. What is really wild is that this is only half of the stack-- about 50 boxes.

Luckily I think Will has sort of chilled with the cardboard crusty stuff, and got rid of the tower. However, those cheap pizzas provided much needed fuel for making his new album. Which you can listen to here:

Jim Lahey's Margherita!

Aw, here we go! Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery/Co. fame showed the readers of New York magazine how a he makes a pizza Mergherita a while back. Be still my heart! This handsome pizzaiolo/baker/writer/sculptor can make me a pizza any day of the week, just shape it like a heart if you're into it Jim. You know what I'm sayin'. ;-) <3

Richmond just got more Pizzalicious!

I want to introduce my pal Melissa to you. She is one pizzalicious babe and I know she will have a lot of great posts and amazing photos to add to this blog. Welcome Melizza! (See what I did there?)  We're so glad to have you on board.

-Lauren

My name is Melissa, and I am a friend of Lauren’s who is going to be contributing to this blog from time to time. I was giddy when she asked me; I hadn't thought about starting my own pizza blog but I am so thrilled to document my adventures on this site!

I never ate pizza until a few years ago, as I was not able to stomach cheese. Thankfully my tastes changed and I’ve been pleased to have some really amazing pizza in Richmond, as well as other parts of the country. I don’t cook, but I love baking, especially bread, so pizza-making came naturally to me. I like to adjust ingredients and rises with the dough to get different flavors and try different temperatures to see what gives me the most pleasing crust.

I recently got married and went to California on my honeymoon where I tried several excellent west coast pizza interpretations. I wrote about it here, mostly for my family who like to ask lots of questions about what I did on my honeymoon.

Richmond has seen a recent influx of wood-fired pizza joints, and since I had a birthday recently, I decided to try two of them, Bellytimber Tavern and Stuzzi.

Bellytimber: 1501 West Main Street Richmond, VA 23220, (804) 592-5592

We went to Bellytimber around 5:45 on Friday and it was nearly empty, which I felt was a bad sign. Also a bad sign: the small beer list. However, the bar, tables and lights are gorgeous and I love the row of fans above the bar which run on a single motor. The oven was a few feet from our table but I never felt warm and the place smelled amazing.

My Margherita

Tim got a plain cheese pie, while PJ ordered a veggie and I got my usual margherita (aka their basil and capers without the capers). The pictures I had seen made the pizza look thick and similar to delivery pie. But it’s SO MUCH BETTER than that. The crust is actually pretty thin—it’s light, chewy and delicious. I liked that the pie was well-seasoned and it was the perfect one-person size (10”) at a very reasonable price ($8). They were very generous with the basil, which I really appreciated.

The Veggie


The upskirt

I will definitely come here again and I can see it being a regular hangout for my friends and I, especially once they shape up their beer list (I recommend they check out Rivermont Pizza in Lynchburg, which has a huge rotating list of micro-brews for $5 a pint). The pizza is solid and might be amongst my favorite red sauce pies in Richmond.

That Sunday my parents took us to Stuzzi. There has been so much buzz and negative chatter about this place I was afraid to go there with anyone, especially my parents who have not had the experience with Neapolitan pizza that PJ and I have.

Stuzzi is pretty inside!

Stuzzi: One North Belmont Richmond, Virginia, 804-308-3294

Let’s get the bad out there: it is really hot in there with the wood stove, it’s insanely crowded, and the owner (?) seemed like kind of a jerk, demanding the hostess give him the phone when she appeared to be handling the customer on the other end just fine. Just like with Bellytimber, the beer list was disappointing, but thinking about it I haven’t ever been to a Neapolitan place with an amazing beer list.

My margherita: the basil was good but sparse

Everyone got either a margherita (me and PJ) or a variation on a margherita (my dad had sausage and my mom had one with olives and goat cheese). I was a little bothered that the pizza was not round like other Neapolitan pizza I’d had and the cornicone looked lumpy and weird.

My dad would like you to know there wasn't enough sausage on this

My mom says they should have cut the olives in half and spread them out

However, I enjoyed the pizza’s absolutely fantastic bright San Marzano sauce and creamy cheese. The crust was fine and I didn’t think that the middle was “soupy” as I read on local food blogs. It was wet like all other similar pizza I have eaten. The cornicone tasted good and the char on the bottom really added to the flavor. I think the only problem was that afterward it felt heavy in my stomach. Motorino in New York City has such a light, puffy cornicone and I was expecting something more like that. Perhaps the dough did not have the right rise time or wasn’t stretched properly—I get the same kind of cornicone at home when I take the dough out of the fridge too late. I did eat the whole thing though!

Yum-charred!

Since it was my birthday I was given a dessert by our sweet waitress: tiramisu! It is my favorite thing to order from an Italian bakery and I was happy that Stuzzi’s was booze-soaked and authentic.

Tiramisu: big thumbs up!

I will definitely find myself at Bellytimber a lot in the future: I love the cozy vibe, the beautiful décor, the kind wait staff, as well as the tasty pizza. If I want a Neapolitan pie and don’t feel like driving to 2Amys in DC, Stuzzi (walking distance to my apartment too!) is a perfectly acceptable substitute. *Note* I have been to Bellytimber since my original visit, and I thought the pie was cooked a bit too much. I am sure they are still figuring things out and I will keep going there.

Since I make pizza at home at least once a week, I am going to try to write about it on here, despite my apartment’s lack of natural light. I also like to go on road trips and try local favorites. I post photos of things I make on flickr sometimes and here is the set of photos from these trips.

Thanks to Lauren for asking me to write for Pizzalicious!

Andy Roddick is Pizzalicious!

The Telegraph reported today that Andy Roddick crushed Philipp Kohlschreiber like a pizza box going into the recycling bin today at Wimbledon.

They also reported that Roddick delivered his buddy John Isner a carb-heavy meal on Wednesday, which included chicken, mashed potatoes and three pizzas. The exhausted Isner recently won an 11-hour long match against  Nicholas Mahut. That's the longest tennis game in history!

Bravo Andy Roddick for being a truly pizzalicious friend!

Fan throws dough; Italy blows game

Metro posted this picture of an Italy fan throwing dough (is that a Throw Dough?) at the Italy-Slovokia game in the FIFA World Cup.

Italy  had a shocking loss (3-2) against Slovakia at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Fabio Cannavaro, 36, is the captain for the Italian international team. On the FIFA website had some harsh words about the state of soccer in Italy and the  loss to Slovokia, who are World Cup noobs.

"Thursday was one of the ugliest nights ever," he said. "There was insecurity, fear. Slovakia played calmly, not us. (In) the faces of my team-mates there was too much tension. The match on Thursday was our worst."

I was sad to see Italy booted from the tournament. I am a fan of AS Roma. The Italian international team only had ONE player from AS Roma, the lonely bearded midfielder, Daniele De Rossi. The team was still full of hunks, but none as hunky as Totti.

Sunday Funday Breakfast Pizza

Picture it: Sunday. Glorious. Warm.

Brunch? Yes please. We agree to a rare turn & go out, but for something we can't make (a hard feat as my Mr. Smooth is the master of breakfast and all things butter) & our new neighborhood has tons of places we haven't checked out yet. We'd stopped in to Ortine, in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn for a warm-up one snowy Sunday when we were scoping out potential apartments; their strong French coffee was calling us back. Bonus on this spring day: they have a patio with a cherry tree, roses and herb garden. Double bonus: pizza for breakfast. We're in.

I like egg on a pizza. DC's Pizza Paradiso has the Bottarga - the egg cracked on in the last minutes in the oven, left runny so you have yolk to mop up with your crust. This was my introduction to the concept, and they do it right. Another DC pizza joint serves brunch pizza with egg and hash browns; a bit dry for my taste (thou as a vegetarian I'm missing the greasiness bacon normally provides), but good with hot sauce and a hangover (and probably a bloody mary)

But on to the pizza in front of us:

 

The Ortine Breakfast Pizza: two local eggs baked hard, kalamata olives, goat cheese, thyme, Parmesan. omnivores can have it with sausage, but olives are the veg version.

Yum. Oven-baked pie with expertly chewy crust, the thyme totally bringing an unexpected freshness. hard-baked eggs were not what I expected but it worked. And the cheese,. ..the cheese. I want it to take me on a date and tell me about it's day. Not straight chevre, it was in another place. Mmm.

By about half way in, I was a little over-salted. the olives were overdoing it, and I wanted something a little milder. I think next time I'll go with the roasted mushrooms (or perhaps better, some of each?!)

We're luckily abound with great fancy 'za in this neighborhood (unfortunately a regular old slice is somewhat lacking), this is the closest to my house and is a solid place for a pizza. They have homemade pasta $10 prix fixe dinners on Monday nights and I'm impressed with/grateful for the breadth of their local ingredients and vegetarian options (also gluten-free dough for you folk). Mr. Smooth had their biscuits and mushroom gravy (could've used more gravy both otherwise excellent, already getting points from the southerners for having vegetarian gravy). Extra points for cute non-matching dishes and sweet staff.

What's your thought on egg pizza? Do you do it at home? Is the home oven even hot enough to pull that off? Lay it on me, ya'll (there's a chicken pun for ya.)

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?

Tori Spelling is Pizzalicious

The New York Post recently reported that Tori Spelling ordered Domino's pizza at a recent book release party at Highbar lounge. She arrived late (maybe after all the hors d'oeuvres were gone) because she had promised to sign every book at Borders.  Spelling's Rep said "Signing all those copies left Spelling hungry: She ordered a Domino's pizza during the party and wolfed down three slices."

Domino's?! Really? It is true that the menu at Highbar is not that impressive but surely someone could have suggested a better place to order pizza than a Domino's. Google Maps tells me that there is a Famous Original Ray's Pizza just one block away, even that would be better, right?

Forget Tori Spelling, let's talk Donna Martin. There was a girl who knew what was up with pizza! In this clip from Beverly Hills 90210 Donna is more interested in pizza than having sex with her boyfriend. Remember?  HA!
