Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.

    I have not been to Italy, but I have made several of the authentic recipes used as reference in “Modernist Pizza”. I know it’s called modernist, but they go back to the roots before rebuilding.

    I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys food history and techniques regardless of their desire to cook at home.

      And you really think Domino’s is better? I believe the quality of the ingredients used are very, very different. With Domino’s specifically I only had bad experience and only in Europe, but when I was in NYC I tried some slice of NY style pizza and it was ok. But for me it was just a normal pizza like thousands I can have randomly around Italy.

        It was authentic pizza that convinced me it’s true people eat with their eyes. Just deeply off putting and lacking in symmetry.

        Of course it’s better if I put on the completely serious no fun hat. One is a chain the other is not. No such thing as a chain that’s better than non-chain. One is all about consistency and cost-cutting whereas the other is constantly judged solely on quality, usually with only a single shot at it.
