A couple pies I made over the weekend. Had to use pre-made shells but everything else is fresh, sauces were homemade. Neapolitan, sausage & grape tomato, and white pie with onion & orange bell pepper. Unfortunately, my white sauce kinda sucked so the latter pie looked better than it tasted.
I love ya, man, but none of those look especially outstanding.
gotta keep it real.
Luckily I wasn’t going for especially outstanding.
good thing.
Tasted outstanding, though, which is more important. (well, the first two did, anyway)

So, you know you are raising a NJ pizza snob when: At the grocery store today, getting dinner. Wife is at a spa all day so it is Dad time with the 5 year old. He wants pizza. I want chicken. Ok, I take him to the frozen pizza section and he looks for a while and picks a CPK Thin Crust deal. I tried to turn him another way but it didn't look too bad, so we bought it Cooked it up and we start to eat.....after two bites he looks at me and asks "Dad, do you know when you throw up, how your mouth tastes?" I asked him if he felt like he was going to throw up. "No, Dad, that is what mouth feels like with this pizza.". 🍕 He refused to eat any more. Fed him leftovers and froze the rest of the pizza. At some drunken point I am sure I will eat it, with tons of hot sauce on it.

Ha. With a 5 year old you're probably better of with Celeste Pizza For One for frozen.

I think most anything would be better -- I took a small bite (my chicken dinner was excellent) and had to agree, it was shit.

This is awesome! My kids haven’t taken on the pizza snobbiness of their dad yet, but it’s coming. All in due time. Lol

I'm in St. Louis, but this is a local wood-fired place. Italiano: San Marzano tomatoes, calabrese sausage, basil, olive oil, parmesan reggiano, fresh mo

Urging the wife to go with pizza tonight. She wants ham leftovers. We have had ham for dinner, breakfast and now lunch (with eggs and then a sandwich for lunch). Ready for pizza. Wish me luck in convincing her.

pepperoni placement could have been better, tho.
