Better Pizza at Home
|
People spend a lot of time arguing, good-naturedly (usually), about pizza. About what belongs on a pizza or doesn’t (pineapple? hamburger?), about what city has the finest (New Haven? St. Louis?), and about what style is the best (Neapolitan? New York?) |
|
It’s a fun conversation to have but to be honest, I have a hard time choosing sides and sticking to my stated loyalties. Because I love all pizzas. And no, this is not a cop-out. I really do.

Until a few years ago, I’d never crossed paths with Chicago-Style Thin-Crust Pizza. But when our Executive Food Editor Bryan Roof and photographer Steve Klise returned from that city by the lake with tales of a crisp-crusted pie topped with a slightly sweet, uncooked tomato sauce and crumbled sausage, then cut into squares for serving, I was enticed and intrigued. |
|
So was everyone else on the team, and kitchen work began for a home recipe. Soon, we had a straightforward method to share (check out the video here to watch Bryan demonstrate the process for Julia Collin-Davison), and I had yet another style of pizza to add to my ever-growing list of favorites. |
|
We have many, many recipes for pizza on our website, from Pizza Montanara to New England Bar Pizza to Detroit Pizza to French Bread Pizza. We even have a breakfast pizza, topped with eggs and bacon, easy enough to pull off first thing in the morning. |

Around the Table:
“This pizza is best eaten hot, so don't wait until it's out of the oven to call people to the table. Your diners should wait for pizza, not the other way around.” – Bryan Roof, Executive Food Editor
