  • About

I have had a very long love affair with pizza. It started at a young age when my mom would make pizzas on the weekends. My mates would come over to watch some movies and eat pizza after a day of surfing and kicking the football down at the beach. Mom would first make the dough, then top them with the best toppings she could find. The pizzas were quite simple and therein lies the beauty—you just need a few quality ingredients and the rest, as they say, is “as easy as (pizza) pie.”

When I started my apprenticeship, at the age of seventeen, I was taught how to make “authentic” pizza by an Italian fellow named Arturo (or Arthur as he was often called). Arturo was a real pizzaiolo (pizza maker). To watch him work was like watching an opera, a ballet, and a rock concert all at the same time. Every part of the pizza-making process has a rhythm and feel to it, from the making of the dough, to the rolling out, tossing, and flattening of the dough.
