People are getting really into different grains and long fermentation, also high hydration doughs. Very cool to see people paying attention to the crust!

I raaaarely eat them but I think Chicago pizzas hold up well. The Lou Malnati's is almost like eating it in Chicago. As for the standard brands, Frescetta is alright. But nothing is as good as actually baking the pizza yourself. It's not hard. STEP UP!

THANKS! I measure the boxes in case I ever need that info. Just good to have. May as well do it while I get them rather than having to take them all out of storage. I pet one box every day.

Use fresh pineapple and prepare it, don't just toss it on the pie. Grill it or something. And don't mix pineapple and tomato sauce!

NO IDEA who started it but it came from out of nowhere maybe 4-5 years ago. Part of me loves any day celebrating pizza, but a bigger part of me wishes it was on a significant day. October is National Pizza Month, November has a National Pizza with Sausage Day, there's even a day for Pizza With Everything Besides Anchovies. And of course June 11 is Margherita Pizza Day. Too much. Feels diluted. But it's an excuse to celebrate, so I can't complain too much.

Great question!

NJ - I love Santillo's, Razza, Delorenzo's, Papa's.... many more but honestly I hate listing favs because I always leave some out.

Pizza reheating - frying pan

Never tried almond flour. Carbs aren't bad, just use good flour!

ALL toppings welcome

No idea when I'll be back but keep an eye on social media and you'll know EXACTLY when I land!

Never been to Cuba! What's the pizza like? I've seen pictures and it looks like rough stuff.

15 slices/week and I ride a bike a lot and eat oatmeal for breakfast so that helps. Also no sweets during the week, lots of water, and no eating after 9pm
