Wood Fired
I've decided to do a short wood fired pizza series, and I'm starting it with one of my all time favorite pizza and sandwich! "Philly Cheese Steak"! I made a crust that is used in Naples, Italy on the "Vera Pizza Napoletana" or as we say here in America "True Neapolitan Pizza". I decided not to do a Neapolitan pizza, because it has been done so many times on YouTube, and there is only one correct way to do it, so I decided to use the crust only, and go from there. This pizza was so good! I will be making these many many times in the future. Hope you enjoy the video, and sorry for the long length, but to give proper instruction, it does require a little time, and thank you for your time.
