    Pizza with attitude! Italian style! He pinches your chick and a fight breaks out. That’s my romantic vision of east coast pizza.

    Out here, the oak monster gives up his body to feed the fires of the outdoor river rock pizza ovens at Wine Lovers Bar and Grill, Ventura. Oaky, cheesey and…….. free!

  • I buy the pizza base in Superquinn and then I put prawns, tomato concentrate, olive oil, garlic, mushrooms and rashers (bacon) on it. Mozarella and cheddar too. It’s a lot of calories but I burn some of those off a few days later when I wash up.

    Pizza wine? Usually red, I must admit – Nero d’Avola is great. I think Vermentino would be another good pizza white wine.

  • For me it’s New York style, just cheese and sauce. If it’s properly made the combination is so flavorful and complex, it’s blasphemy to put anything more.

    Whites with pizza. Sweet. Definitely changing the wine world. As always, thank you.

    QOTD: Gotta have me a little peppers (green bell peppers are great, and maybe a couple yellow banana peppers for a wee bit of heat), mushrooms are always where it’s at, and I am always more sauce than cheese (if the sauce is quality, of course…which it should be in any Italian food- sauce makes or breaks any Italian dish).

    QOTD: The best pizza on the face of this planet, no matter what you like on it, is from Star Tavern, Orange, NJ. And now that they have a whole wheat crust I don’t even have to have guilt feelings about eating a whole pie myself.

    Still like the reds with my pizza though, Gary.

    Gary-QOTD: I will eat just about any type or style of pizza. I prefer lots of great toppings. Not crazy about pizza with one cheese. If it has lots of garlic and several types of cheeses – great stuff!! I like thin, or thick, or Chicago or NY or Italian. I will even eat it cold or hot.:)

    QotD: Big fan of mushrooms on Pizza but my favorite is probably white pizza, when it’s done right. It can suck but if done right it’s great.

    Gary, you’d love the marinara pizza we had in Italy [best pizza we had there], cheeseless. Just homemade sauce, some herbs and olive oil.

    QOTD: Hawaiian all the way (pineapple and canadian bacon). And I like my pizza thick and bready cause i cant stand the super thin cardboard pizza. I do really like catawba wine with pizza, but i’ll have to try that verdejo cause it sounded good!

    great show Gary – have a good trip!

    Are you kidding me?? You grew up in NJ???

    Not once did you call it a PIE, it’s Pizza PIE, you took the cheese off – considering it’s processed crap and not real mutz, i’ll barely give you a pass for that – at the very LEAST you could have FOLDED the damn thing like a real New Jerseyan. You’re representing the center of the pizza universe for christssake, do you understand your responsibility?? Do you know how good you have it?? Most people’s idea of real pizza is Pizza Hut’s freakin Brooklyn STYLE pizza, and you could jump into your lime green Honda Civic, shoot down 78 and be at Patsy’s in 25 minutes manging on a real slice. Show some respect for the PIE Jersey boy!!!!!!

    Tom L: smart. Star Tavern. That’s the real deal.

  • QOTD: As much as I love various meats and several veggies, my favorite style of pizza is the simple cheese pizza done right.

    My favorite pizza EVER was at L’Antica Pizzaria di Michele in Napoli, Italia. SMOKEY crust, cooked in a coal-fired brick oven! WOW!

  • Really great to have only whites. It’s such a statement. I thought you would have had a dolcetto in there cause of your last episode. Speaking of that, I see that your Vlog is spreading in Sweden now. Keep on running friend!

    QOTD: Anything from Pepe’s or Modern (in New Haven). Although I think Hawaiian is my favorite. For a change of pace the Silano from Bertucci’s is excellent. MMmmm.

    I’ve never tried a white with pizza….usually b/c I am drinking a beer…(the other white beverage). We’re you eating that pizza cold?

    if you don’t like cheese and prefer more sauce, why don’t you get a marinara slice? my favorite is a marinara slice with fresh garlic and onions. It’s awesome.
