Marco Gusolini's Pizza Parlor
#1
Got an Ooni for my birthday - love this thing!  Makes excellent pizza. Neapolitan pies are done in 2 minutes. Definitely a learning curve involved as i'll still burn some parts from time to time (but I like char).  Gonna a try a more NYC style when I get my 16" peel (these are 14").  Also, pies got less round with drunkenness...

Post a pic of the Ooni!! I had to look it up. Does that run on propane.

Who is eating all these pies?!?!

I'll kill one today. My wife isn't feeling well, otherwise she'd almost finish one. I just wrap them up and eat whenever. They're really good cold. The simple dough recipe is delicious. Reminds me of the classic joints of my old neighborhood.

The 00 flour is the key. I honestly never heard of it until I got the Ooni. What a difference for stretching dough.

Yes, I got the propane. Seemed less hassle than the other options.

I've tried the special fine ground imported super d00per flour, and what I found was that it made a slight difference, but not nearly as much as just having a good technique and doing a nice long (>36 hr) rest of the dough. I just use good old full strength here, more often than not. And, as always, a pizza is only ever as good as the sauce. Can you post your sauce recipe? After you get the basics down, this seems to distinguish good pizza from great.

Those are attractive pies. I too enjoy some char.

Not looking for a long rest. The 00 does it in a few hours. Stretches very nicely in 1-2 hours.. Kenji likes the oven, surprised Lou doesn't.

You might be thinking of someone else. I haven't said anything either way about the new gadget.

For clarification, though, the long dough rest is as much about flavor development as texture. Got that sauce recipe?
