New York Style Pizza

There is a large number of companies offering pizza for sale these days. However, the taste of authentic New York style pizza seems hard to come by. Often made in mom and pop pizzerias, these pizzas are truly awesome! If you happen to have one in your town or city, you should feel privileged.
Recently, a mom and pop pizzeria came to the city where I live. Since then I have been an avid fan of their pizzas. Before, I had never tasted a truly authentic pizza so I didn’t know what to expect. The experience was unbelievable.
The family business had origins in New York, and where of Italian descent, so the art of cooking had been handed down for generations. And it wasn’t hard to tell. The pizza was amazing! They went on to explain to me several things that must occur for a pizza to be truly great.
First, the dough must be made fresh in house daily. Next, the sauce must be made in house and slow-cooked over a lengthy period of time. The family explained to me, that while they kept their recipes a secret, it was no secret that the best is always homemade.
For so long I have been eating pizza from places where most of their ingredients are produced through some strange industrial process. Finally, I have found somewhere that I can enjoy the taste of hand-made authentic pizza.
If you can find pizza that is made the way it should be, you will never go back to the other guys again!

Hi, Onemind, how are you?
I couldn’t agree more. I have always preferred home-cooked foods over the ‘manufactured’ ones. That expression “There’s no home-cooking like Grandma’s home cooking.” Well, I happen to be one of the lucky ones that knows exactly what that means.
Thanks for sharing.
