I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

If there is anything I like as much as pizza, it just might be beer. Over the years, I Dream Of Pizza has rarely focused on the relationship between beer and pizza (did someone say yeast?). But ever since I began making pizza at home, I’ve always dreamed (no pun intended) of creating a beer-based pizza tasting menu. There are many establishments across the country which serve both beer and pizza, but to my knowledge no place exists that serves only ...

And although there is normally not pizza served there (as participating restaurants don’t have access to kitchens… or pizza ovens!) there is always some good representation from pizzerias.

I was intrigued. ...

I recently took a trip up to Stamford, Connecticut to try Colony Grill’s famous pies. And while I was in town I decided to stop by another place too. Remo’s Pizza (35 Bedford Street) in the downtown area came recommended by our friends who live in Stamford. It opened in 2006 — so it’s not quite as old as Colony which opened in 1935 — but the influence is evident, most notably in Remo’s hot oil pie. You see, Colony’s ...
