1. What's New: Albert Finds Pizza On Earth
(And It's in Vermont...)

As you may know the theme of pizzatherapy.com has always been:
"Pizza on Earth, Good Will to All".

Imagine my shock and surprise to find Pizza on Earth, located in Vermont. Let me explain...

A short time ago, I received an invitation from Jay Vogler, a pizzaiolo from Charlotte, Vermont to visit his website: pizzaonearth.com. Of course, I was a little curious, so I headed right over.

Well Pizza On Earth, is not only the name of his website, but also the name of his Wood Oven Bakery. I was greatly impressed with everything on his website and bakery, of course, and especially the pizzas.

We started emailing back and forth, and Jay agreed to an email interview, exclusively for Pizza News. Jay Fogler's pizzaonearth.com interview will be featured in an upcoming issue of Pizza News.

One of the most interesting tid-bits he revealed, was the fact Peter Reinhart has been an important influence for him. Peter is the Author of American Pie, and was featured on
The Legends of Pizza, Volume 1 ®

It's a small pizza after all...

2. Excerpt of Brian Spangler Interview
from Legends of Pizza Volume 1 and 2 Transcripts

I have gotten several requests to share some of the stories presented in Legends of Pizza series. The following is from Legends of Pizza, Volume 2:

Albert: "It sounds like things have exploded for you over there in Portland, Oregon Apizza Scholls is a pretty popular place."  

Brian: "The first day we opened up without any announcements there were about thirty people waiting outside of our door.  Ever since then, word of mouth, word of mouth, word of mouth really has blown away our expectations of what level of business we were going to be doing. 

In all honesty after making sixty thousand plus pizzas in a little over two years since we’ve been doing this commercially and not including when we were doing it out of our brick oven out at the bakery, but doing this commercially, we learn every day. 

The busier you are, the more you really crank that oven and the better the pizza gets. 

That’s why people wonder how one of the elements of making great pizza at places like Pepe’s and Sally’s and Grimaldi’s how they make it so good and what is the secret. 

There are many, many secrets, but the oven is extremely important. When those things are fully cranking and it’s really busy, it’s the best time to go and get a pizza.  When those places are slow, which those places generally are never slow, that is actually probably the worse time to get a pizza.  You really want to have that oven completely saturated with the fire going full time.  The hotter it gets and the more often you’re throwing in pizzas you can find this kind of sweet spot with the oven that really will make a dramatic difference to the final product..."

3. Tony's Baltimore Grill- New Jersey Pizza Review

Chef Dewalt writes:

I want to recommend Tony's Baltimore Grill.

It seems an unassuming name for a New Jersey pizza joint, and by all accounts, this place is as far from the glitz and polished marble sensibilities of a gambling town like Atlantic
City
as any place can be. There is an old-guard feel to parts of the city's midtown section: the Irish pubs, taverns, and pizzerias that have existed in this tiny section of South Jersey have (so far) escaped the touristy trappings we've all come to expect.

Beyond the spotlight of New York's assumed reign over good, traditional, thin-crust pizza on the East Coast, Tony's Baltimore Grill is (and has been for a while) where the locals go to get their pie groove on. Topping selections are limited, and all pies measure around the 12.5 " diameter mark. The crust! It may just be the water or the humid conditions in the four-high stack ovens burning at around 650 degrees, but these guys know how to do a crust! The sauce lies somewhere between a smooth, contemporary tomato slather and an Old-World pomodoro
kiss. Just a hint of herbal kick and garlic. The cheese blend is hard to pin down, but low-skim

Mozzarella is pulling duty in all its browned, bubbly goodness.
I say skip the $20 buffet. Get off the grid and take one of these puppies to heart and stomach. They also travel well! We ate half a pie on the way to the airport, and relished the
most of it before going through the security checkpoints. Jealous stares! Full bellies!

Albert's side bar: The kitchen is open from 11:00 AM until 3:00 AM.
The bar is open 24 hours a day. Hmm. Sounds like my kind of place.

5. How I doubled the size of pizzatherapy.com

I am always amazed at pizzatherapy.com.  What started in 1999, as a simple 4 page website, has ballooned to contain hundreds of pizza packed pages.

Sometimes pizzatherapy.com is like a runaway train, and I don't have any control over it. I stopped trying a long time ago. This website has a mind of it's own.

Recently, I came into my possession cooking and non-pizza recipe resources that could be added here. I made a decision to add new directories to accommodate the files. This has dramatically increased the knowledge base of pizzatherapy.com. The job is done.

You will find hundreds of pages of cooking resources with a number of recipes. I want to invite you to take a look and bookmark the pages. You may want to come back again and again.

Please share these resources with your friends.

Here are the resources:

These resources literally doubled the size
 of pizzatherapy.com, overnight.

If you have any cooking articles or recipes you want added here, please contact me and I will gladly add your contribution.
