Hidden in an abandoned-looking storefront with white windows, Wizard Hat Pizza in Brooklyn has a speakeasy vibe. The takeout-only shop is run by chef and owner Josiah Bartlett, who’s grown his pizza business totally through word of mouth. On the menu are New York style pizzas with traditional toppings like spicy pepperoni and mushroom, as well as more experimental pies like an al pastor taco-inspired pineapple pizza.

@cjaquilino Месяц назад

@@johnadamczyk6213Yeah, I'd like to understand the logic behind that. Like it's one thing to say mix a whole grain flour of some kind with a high gluten flour or use a more local flour to make it more healthful or environmentally friendly. But it sounded like he's uses mixes of white all purpose, einkorn whole grain, white high gluten, and an Italian flour.

The mushroom pizza looks good. Roasting the mushrooms first instead of putting them on the pizza raw is a key step that most places don't bother with. It's basically impossible to overcook mushrooms, but for some reason people are afraid of cooking them long enough to actually develop flavor.

I would come home very early in the morning.And I did try hard not to eat every slice in the refrigerator but I could not stop. Anyway these guys are on another level 💯🇮🇹

Not bothered sourcing Italian grown Tomatoes from those mythical regions, _California and New jersey grow a tasty tomato; that will do!_ Which is what anyone should be doing if they are making pizza in America the american way; New York style or not. Love Naples style Pizza and had it many times visiting southern Italy from places with ripping hot smokey woodfire stoves, And make Italian style pan pizzas like Sfincione at home a lot; but I love a good honest American pepperoni pizza too.

Best part of the Bon Appetit debacle, and the end of Munchies, was the end of test kitchen videos.

It's about the food, not the inside jokes, or fake chemistry between the hosts.
