Title: Pizza the way I remember
Post by: Davescprktl on August 30, 2016, 10:20:00 AM

I grew up near Youngstown Ohio.  Lots of Italians that settled there when the steel mills were booming and lots of great pizza shops.  I did my best to emulate the pizza from that area.  They all had their distinct personality which was awesome.  This is a thicker crust pizza with lots of toppings and lots of sauce.  I made the sauce combining the flavors of the pizzas I remember.  The rest of the ingredients are shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, crumbled hot Italian sausage and jalapenos.

@NewGuy16
@eccj

I used a chimney and a half.  Poured a full lit chimney on top of a half chimney.  I used Royal Oak lump.
