NJ Pizza

[cornbread kiki]

My husband and I are making a variety of pizzas tomorrow night, and are looking for different dough recipes. Any suggestions? We would like to find a whole wheat recipe that doesn't get too crisp right away. Also- last year we discovered how delicious Chantal cheese iss compared to mozzarella for pizza. A blend would be delicious too...

A search on this forum will show a few ideas, and these 2 links are my favorite sources. Warning, these are very large resources!

Thank you so much for the suggestions for crusts, and the terrific background on Cantal. We were surprised too to find that almost every pizza place in Aix en Provence had Cantal on their pizza- sometimes combined with mozzarella, sometimes alone. I prefer it. My husband and I held off on our crust experimentation until tonight- but will make 4 or 5 with different crusts and toppings- reports tomorrow! Many thanks.

A couple days ago I went to recipes page on this site. There was an ad . . wait where did it go? I was gonna order the CD. Bev somebody. Anyway she says crust is the most important thing to get right. And I think that's probably most of it. I'd like to get the CD if anybody can refer me to it.

depends where in jersey...I'm about at the "mason dixon" line....i agree NYC is better, the further south you go it turns BAD real quick.

Pizza in Philly is not even edible.


soon as you cross the real mason dixon line (which is 195 in NJ) it starts to get bad.

Delorenzos in trenton is pretty good.

I have a local place by me that is REALLY good, in Middlesex county, called caffaros

I hear you on that about going further South. Here's a little . I took a trip back up to Eastern PA, Delaware Water Gap. It had been 3 years. As usual, when we get there after 12 hours of driving, we stop and pick up a pizza from one of the better places there. Being so tired from the drive, we pull up to the place and it turned into aplace, which was connecting to it to begin with. Our faces were priceless!!! So, the beer place expanded into the now non exsisting pizza place. I guess beer rates higher up there now!!! Anyway, we drove an hour more into NJ for the pizza and then backtracked to Eastern PA. Couldn't make the NY trip at that point. Please enjoy some pizza up there for us....THANKS !!!

Mozzarella made from real water buffalo tastes worlds apart from that made from typical cows. THAT made all the difference in my homemade pizza.
