SliceNY is mirroring Jeff’s site which has crashed, but to give you a preview, Jeff has been working on replicating Patsy’s (NYC) pizza for 6 years. Yup. Six YEARS.
Two years ago when I was looking around for my next mixer, Jeff was posting at the yahoogroups mixer-owners about his DLX misadventures and his pizza experiment. I regret to say he got some flack from a poster about his methods, and he left the list in a huff. But there are some of us who continued to monitor his pizza experiments. And a couple of Gardenweb folks too were interested, as we had been discussing the possibility of building brick ovens in our yards (the only other option if you want 800 degrees F and you don’t want to risk burning down your house by rigging your oven like Jeff did). But I stopped following his story when I found out about hubby’s allergies.
I’m so happy to report, though, that Jeff has finally done it — he’s perfected his recipe and the results are at the first link above. For those of you who are pizza enthusiasts like I once was, check it out. And if that excites you, make sure you read the fine print on your insurance policy as well:D
Wow, six years! That’s dedication, and you have to admire that. Thanks for the tip. 🙂
And I thought *I* was obesessive, trying to find the perfect fried chicken recipe!
Wow…that’s amazing. But my 1950’s stove and oven only goes to 500; I’d kill it, kill it dead, if I tried this!
Hey, how are you doing, anyway?
Yes, Ari, 6 years! Can you imagine? That’s a pizza lover if there ever was one. I was really humbled when I read his tales at the yahoogroups list and realized my previous experiments/disasters/successes with my parallel quest were NOTHING compared to what he’s done.
LOL, Steph. Yeah, mine would die too, I’m sure of it. I’m doing okay, thanks for asking. How are you?
