I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

Oh the bar style pie. An under appreciated pizza style which is rarely found here in New York City. My favorite hails from Star Tavern in Orange, New Jersey followed closely by Colony Bar & Grill in Stamford, Connecticut. But last night I had some bar pies in the heart of Brooklyn which rival those. The location? Margot’s Pizza. A pop-up pizza shop that’s yet to launch, but will (possibly) be operating out of Pizza Loves Emily (919 Fulton Street) ...

But ever since I began making pizza at home, I’ve always dreamed (no pun intended) of creating a beer-based pizza tasting menu.

The topping combinations on each pie were created by a different Franny’s chef (and one from Franny herself). At the close of service, the number was reduced by half, ...

With the warm weather right around the corner, I thought I’d take a moment and introduce you to a product that I think could really revolutionize the experience of making pizza at home. I’m frequently sent pizza related products — some of which are more useful than others. Last fall, I was contacted by a company called Mighty Pizza Oven, which bills itself as a ”convenient small pizza oven insert” that converts a gas grill into an outdoor pizza oven. I was intrigued. ...
