And frozen isn’t cheating when it’s hand-tossed

Ask anyone what makes a great pizza, and chances are they’ll name the major challenge that each restaurant or food services faces in attempting to create a memorable signature pizza – the crust. All the exotic toppings in the world cannot make a signature pizza out of a lifeless crust.

The only constant to a superior pizza is the crust.

Mixing the dough in a way that does not cause it to overheat, and shaping it by hand are the two qualifications that make the creation of a good crust a demanding process. This process, however, demands a specialized staff as well as space and special equipment.

 

The physical demands include a large brick oven, a marble counter where the crust is prepared, and a shelf full of fresh ingredients to achieve the unique, unmatched flavor of brick-oven pizza.

What then is the secret of the many popular sidewalk pizzerias of New York City, and how do upscale restaurants throughout America find room for the process it takes to make a great signature pizza in an already over-crowded kitchen?
