Pizza Pizza!

Did anyone miss me while I was gone on my post-summer break? I just wanted to share with you a fun pizza story....it's pretty long, so stay with me :-)

The husband found a new pizza place, so we definitely had to check it out (being the self-proclaimed pizza lovers we are). We checked out the yelp reviews and recommendations and decided to get these fried risotto balls.

Which were balls of heaven with little pieces of mozarella inside.........droool

I was going to get the vongole pizza, and because I get flustered when approached with a menu, I always try to decide what I'm going to order beforehand through their homepage. But our waitress says they are out of cockles...........so I look through the menu and just randomly choose anything that has prociutto. The husband orders the margherita (because he's boring, or "original" as he puts it).  

A different waiter brings us our food, and ta-da! there are meatballs on both of them! Husband asks the waiter "Is this margherita pizza?" And the waiter nods and gives a "No-duh, that's what you ordered dummy"-look. In the meantime, I am busy quickly snapping away photos with Mr. P (I must admit, I take photos of Mr. P at the speed of light because of the embarassment...)

My pizza has prosciutto~ I definitely ordered the right one! But I open it and it has meatballs...so I tell my husband that the chef must love his meatballs. While I try to slice open my pizza, our waitress comes to us and says that there was a mix up and that these pizza are not ours, but the couple sitting right next to us...........I can't stop laughing, and we apologize to the couple for attacking their pizzas, and they laugh it off too~ We really felt so stupid because the couple (not the chef) both loved the meatballs so much that they had placed an extra topping order of it.

This is our actual pizza -but my pizza didn't look anything like the one I got before because the prosciutto was "prosciutto cotto" not "prosciutto di parma".

But the husband's was just sans meatball. Less embarassing for him since he even asked the waiter! And yes, the first pizza was margherita, just with extra meatballs.

Our waitress was really nice and asked us if we would like to take the first pizzas home, so of course we had to bring it back with us, and the leftover pizza too. What a feast!

 

Pietanza!

Mr P visited Pietanza this week and look what he got :

gorgonzola and onion pizza- the caramelized onions were amazing!

mediterranean pizza- pancetta, olives, tomatoes and basil

I love wood-brick oven pizza... but why is it called wood brick?

Ledo Pizza

We had pizza night on Sunday:

rectangle pizza reminds me of soccer! I really wonder how soccer kids would eat the middle part though...

yummy cheese fries!

I'm going to go eat the leftovers now : )

Pizza Blooper

We ordered Papa John's with the "whatever topping you like" promotion. I'm an anchovy freak so of course we had to have anchovy, and then bacon and salami and some vegetables. So we pick up our pizza very excited (I should have noticed that there was no anchovy smell when the pizza got in the car) and came home and opened the pizza. Ta-da! A very healthy vegetarian pizza was staring back at us. We were pissed, but I bet you that the guy who ordered the vegetarian pizza was going nuts. All the meat plus anchovy? what a nightmare for him.

vegetarian pizza~ it was pretty good I have to admit : )

Pizza

Yesterday we ordered New York style pizza and it was so good! But I couldn't help but wonder...where does all the grease/oil come from? I had to dab it with the napkins (kind of fun) like the blue oil paper on the face.

Mr. Pineapple man getting ready to dive in!

our milk supplier...

I have a question I've been wanting to ask for quite a while now. Why does milk get all chunky and clumpy even if it's not passed the expiration date? Is it because I let "air" come in contact with it? At first I thought it was because of my fridge temperature, but it's not. I'm starting to get a little pissed when I try to have some late night cereal and the milk is all jiggly.

Pizza Time!

Last night, we had one of our homemade pizza nights, and tried making the margarite pizza that we had at Auntie Pasto's, Hawaii. The crust could be a little thinner, but the topping couldn't get any better!

toppings: pizza sauce, mozarella cheese, sliced tomotoes, fresh basil

Anchovy Pizza for the anchovy lovers! This was really good too...I think the maragarite and the anchovy pizzas compliment each other really well...one is fishy and the other is fresh! yum!

toppings: pizza sauce, mozarella cheese, diced tomatoes, mushroom, onions, anchovy

For the homemade dough recipe, I posted one up a week ago, so refer to that!
