What happens when the legendary Paulie Gee mentors someone like Derrick Tung? Pure magic—in pizza form, that is! After meeting years ago, their relationship quickly blossomed into a friendship. Soon after, Derrick opened his own Paulie Gee’s, bringing Brooklyn’s popular pizzeria to the Windy City. And he still pays homage to his friend by serving the classic pizzas Paulie Gee’s is known for, just like the Ricotta Be Kidding Me. Inspired by Paulie’s favorite calzone, this pie features sweet Italian sausage, Canadian bacon and Galbani Ricotta and Fresh Mozzarella. It’s a combination of flavors that will tickle anyone’s taste buds.
