(BTW, anyone who makes it through all of that without ordering a pizza is a Cylon.)

Well, I made a quiche which has a crust and lots of cheese with italian seasonings and parm and toppings (though they be on the inside) of mushroom, onion, and bell pepper. I'll dub it "egg pizza" and consider it close enough.

I made it to the end without ordering anything, but now I am compelled to make a pizza to eat.

Oh hai. "Providence metro area" here (aka Fall River) - cedar and hardwood-stoked ovens that the whole-wheat dough is grilled over, on both sides, before applying the sauce and cheese (asagio, parma regiano, cave aged provelone, buffa mozza) and toppings (onion, mushroom, meatballs sliced so thin you can almost see through them). Shrimp Mozambique and Narragansett (the beer) steamed Narragansett (the bay) littlenecks as the appas. Bucket of Newport Storms ta warsh it alls down.

New York, to be frank, is not doing pizza to my usual standard.

Success!

Protip: Your oven's thermostat may not go above 500, but on "broil" you may be able to get a pizza stone up to 600 or 650.

Scott teaches us how to reheat pizza.

I love this guy. Deep knowledge, sincere enthusiasm, an obvious love for what he does; and it's something I care about.

Seriously, you've never seen so much enthusiasm for reheating pizza. And it's like "hey, I'm reheating pizza for my roommate, I should teach others how to do this right."

I would kickstart the shit out of a hopefully upcoming pizza documentary by Scott.

The Brooklyn Historical Society has such a great line-up of public talks. Beautiful building, too.

Good lecture on pizza, fascinating. After his mention of sauce-over-cheese pizza construction, I gave it a try for dinner, came out great.
