Dom Demarco, Legend of Pizza
Jul 14th, 2010 by pizzatherapy

Dom Demarco is a true original. He is an old school pizzaiolo. He makes incredible pizza. He does it his way.

Here is what Adam said:

"The sauce, the crust, the toppings: … Dom Demarco" uses "the freshest and finest ingredients. He imports mozzarella di buffala from his hometown in Italy, makes a bright sauce daily from a mixture of fresh and canned San Marzano tomatoes, and balances ratios of crust, cheese, and sauce perfectly."

 

He makes his pizza because he loves his craft. He makes pizza from the heart.

From the Best Pizza in New York at Pizza Therapy,  comes the following:

"Pizza at Di Fara is so fresh and tasty. The dough is made with imported Italian flour, he uses not one but three cheeses (buffalo mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padana, and freshly-made sauce created from plum tomatoes and  he grows himself. The parmagion cheese is straight from the cheese grater and the basil is straight from the vine. It's great pizza, luscious cheeses, dripping with olive oil, and if you are lucky dotted with artichokes. The pie is fantastic: all ingredients are fresh, crust is thin and juicy! The biggest problem is finding parking space."

 

Here is video proof of his artistry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Reusable Pizza Box Interview
Jul 12th, 2010 by pizzatherapy

Billions of used pizza boxes pile up in landfills every year. Billions.

These pizza boxes cannot be composted due to grease.

Here's what William Betz told me:

Americans consume 3 billion, yes, 3 BILLION with a B, cardboard pizza boxes every year…in the 2 minutes you've spent reading this message…12,000 have been used…and they are NOT recyclable as they are contaminated with/ grease and foodstuffs…

There is a solution to the pizza box problem clogging our landfills. We can go green with our pizza. The answer is the hybrid pizza box. This innovation offers an alternative to just dumping used pizza boxes in the trash.

  Mike Sudia of  DMS Innovation is the inventor of the reusable pizza box.

New York City Water Creates Perfect Pizza
Jun 17th, 2010 by pizzatherapy

 

 

New York City Water 'Flows' Downstream To Florida, Creating Perfect Pizza

South Florida Upscale Italian Restaurant Creates Real "New York" Pizza with Innovative Water Filtration System Replicating New York City Water

Palm Beach County, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2010 — Anyone who has tasted real New York pizza, bagels and breads knows there's something special about them. For starters, they're lighter and crisper. This is thanks to award-winning New York water, famous for its purity and unique mineral characteristics that make it perfect for creating out-of-this world baked goods. Now, a new company is making this water available to restaurants and bakeries nationwide, and a South Florida fine Italian restaurant is the first to jump on board.

Palm Beach County, Florida-based Famous New York Baking Water Corp. has created a distinctive water system to duplicate the baking characteristics of New York water – only purer – making it possible for restaurants and bakeries nationwide to replicate the real flavors and textures of authentic New York-style breads, bagels, pizzas and other baked goods. Mamma Mia's Trattoria in Palm Beach County, Florida, is the first to scoop up this new system for its 220-seat restaurant, which serves around 250 covers per day.

Joey Lograsso, owner of Mamma Mia's Trattoria, says that his customers can't get enough of his New York pizza. "I was doing great before," says Lograsso, "but now my pizzas are flying out the door. I never dreamed I could have real New York pizza in South Florida. And thanks to the purity of the water, the flavors of all of my foods are enhanced."

Famous New York Baking Water Corp. offers a variety of systems scaled to the individual restaurant or bakery's usage needs. It teamed up with Fitness and Health CLA, one of the premier filtration companies in the water industry, to create this unique water filtration system that duplicates the precise baking characteristics of New York Water.

Anthony Vincent Liotta, who started making bread in his father's Brooklyn bakery at age eight, tested the water and was amazed at the difference. "I have been baking breads, pizza and bagels for over 35 years in New York and Florida. I couldn't believe the way the products came out using their water. The crust and textures were identical to the ones I used to make in New York. I was also impressed by how the water enhanced the flavor of the soups."

The water system can supply everything from small mom-and-pop pizzerias to wholesale bakeries that operate 24/7. The system can be installed as part of new construction or retrofitted into existing operations. Famous New York Baking Water Corp. is making it available nationwide, so that now restaurants, bakeries and pizzeria's from Palm Beach to Portland can serve real New York pizza, breads and bagels.

"This is not 'New York style' pizza, as many restaurants advertise," says Angela Bean, president of Famous New York Baking Water Corp. "Since our system replicates the necessary baking characteristics of New York water, you are getting authentic New York baked goods."

"What's amazing," says Bean, "is that not only is the water great for baking, it's also the healthiest and purist water in the world. It makes the flavors of everything it touches from soups to sodas really pop."
