    Do you guys have margherita pie in the Midwest or is it a pizza belt thing?
    Margherita pie also uses slices of mozzarella as opposed to shredded mozzarella.  Sauce is completely different too.  Plus there is no basil on plain pie.

    And who needs fancy names?  
    “Hi pick up.  I d like one large pie with pepperoni, one large with peppers and onions, one large with half meatballs and a large plain. Plus an order of fried ravioli and a dozen wings.   Name is mike.”

    Oh yeah. We have it. To be honest I never order it though. I have my go-to lineup and I rarely stray from the path. Mozzarella slices are awesome though. Huge caprese salad fan.

    Delicious man. I’m so full. I let the sausage cook in the sauce all day so it’s tender as hell. Ricotta, Romano, Parmesan and spinach filling. Little mozzarella on top.

    Thanks man. I don’t cook too many things but this has become one of my specialties. Got the recipe years ago from my good friends Italian wife. I love her cooking and she was willing to share her secrets lol. All credit goes to her

    Margherita isn’t plain pizza.  And the picture you posted isn’t margherita.  It is a plain pie with a basil leaf lol. 
    Thoughts arrive, nice work!!
    Thanks man!

    My first attempt at making Johnny Di Francesco's (400 Gradi) margherita. Was quite happy with it for a first attempt. Didn't cut my dough balls big enough or not enough yeast so I couldn't get a large sized base. Still yummy for mini bases. I used fresh mozzarella instead of buffalo mozzarella and tinned whole peeled Italian tomatoes by Annalisa. Also, I used instant dried yeast instead of fresh yeast.

    Recipe and video here: https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/pizza-margherita


    Those look really good!
    Thank you!

    So I made more today, one for me and two for my nieces who loved it. My niece said it is the same as the pizza from 400 gradi.
    Turned out better today, better size. It's all trial and error.

    If you think that is the same as a margherita you are not so bright.

    Apologies for getting off the pizza topic again, but if you haven’t done so already, throw a neck bone in your sauce next time and let it simmer all day. It adds great flavor.

    Definitely not the same thing.  When I am off of detox I ll order a plain and margherita and post pictures so you can see the difference.

    I have been to places where a plain pie has no cheese other than a bit of Romano or Parmesan, just sauce.
