DIY Pizza for Super Bowl Sunday!

Did you know that more pizza is ordered on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year? Damn! In keeping with solidarity for IWW-Pizza Hut Workers Union members in Sheffield, UK I will not be ordering Pizza Hut Pizza today and I encourage you to do the same! Instead try a DIY Pizza. Bake it before the big game to fill your house with a pizzalicious smell!

Here are some interesting and creative takes on making an already awesomely portable food even more game-day-friendly!

Check out Molly Cody's recipe for pull-apart pizza. You just take a big sourdough boule cut it up and stuff it with your favorite toppings put it back together and bake till it is GBD! then pull it apart again!

Check out this super easy recipe for Ritz cracker pizzas! IT might be a little to "Lunchables" for some folks... but those folks should just stop pretending like they don't like pizza Lunchables. It is the best one.
Top Ritz crackers with your favorite pizza toppings and bake until cheese is melty! Use sparingly a thicker sauce or even seasoned tomato paste for best results.

A while back I submitted a cute recipe to Slice for pizza cups... not to be confused with pizza cupcakes, which you should also bring to your super bowl party! Mmmmm. Make it even easier by picking up a pizza kit from Pizza Tonight (if you're in RVA) or getting dough from your favorite local pizza joint (if you are elsewhere).

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?

topping idea, just for you pizzalicious fans: Crisp Bartlet Pear, sliced Sweet Gorgonzola, Lemon, Pepper. Just sayin'

Blow Toad - Richmond, VA

Last Friday, some friends and I went to a preview of Blow Toad, Richmond's first and only coal fired pizza place. This is the new restaurant of two-time nominee for the James Beard Award and lauded local restaurateur Jimmy Sneed. Sneed has had his hands in several well-known and award-winning restaurants including Richmond's The Frog and the Redneck (now closed) and Chicago's SugarToad . He also is co-owner of the acclaimed veg-friendly restaurant and pizzeria Fresca on Addison with his daughter. The chef de cuisine is Nikoli Creatore, a veteran of Balliceaux which has always had an exceptionally creative and delicious menu. Naturally with all these accolades I was expecting some awesome pizza but what we got fell far short of my expectations. At this very generous, FREE preview the team at BlowToad were dishing up pizza, samples of entrees and appetizers and dessert. The waitress came to take our order for two pies and three ap/entree samples and drinks...
