Just got through eating a very thin crust pizza (frozen, grocery
store). It was manufactured in CA. The box front cover says that it
is topped with marinara sauce. It had a fairly good taste. However,
I could not detect any marinara sauce or any other sauce so if it was
there it must have been put there with a single squeeze of an
atomizer. Well, these days what can you expect. I will not buy this
item again.

I do make frozen pizzas. The orig post was just a bit OT. Heck, I
put a smiley after my reply.
Frozen pizzas are what they are. Preparing them is not really
"cooking," even if you do add stuff like canned black olives, which I
do. I'm in a happy mood tonight because we got some good recording
done today, and in order to calm down from the excessive amounts of
coffee that are often consumed at recording sessions, I've had a few
beers.

I occasionally buy uncooked pizzas at the grocery store from the
refrigerated items section. They have a sticker on them that says "deli" so
I guess they assemble them They are usually sold bundled, two
individually wrapped 12 inch pizzas together. I take them home and put them
in the freezer. But of course they require "doctoring" before you bake
them. More toppings; definitely more and varied cheeses. They beat the
heck out of any pre-frozen name-brand pizza I've ever had. But then, I'm
not really a big fan of pizza.

Perhaps, but there are other items sold under the "Deli" account that are
not made on site. Certain packaged rolls, mustards, etc.

Whatever they are, Ed, they are a lot better than any frozen boxed pizza or
even pizza delivery I ever encountered. But as I said, I'm not a big fan of
pizza.

I am not a great fan of boxed frozen pizzas but I was lazy and got the
CA one mentioned. I sometimes make my own pizza using a Boboli (sp.?)
crust onto which I smear a light coat of alfredo sauce and then cover
this with pepperoni slices and finally a good layer of mozzarella
cheese - and that is all. It cooks up very nicely in the oven. No
tomato sauce. The alfredo sauce has enough bang to it.. It has a
wonderful taste compared to the commercial frozen pizzas one finds in
the grocery stores. If you do this be sure to use only a light
coating of alfredo sauce - like a heavy coat of paint.

Eighteen year olds are also adults for the purposes of being subjected
to capital punishment, or going over to Iraq to get their appendages
blown off, but they aren't allowed to consume beer.

When we first moved to Italy , my youngest child did not like pizza,
after eating the pizza in Naples, he was a convert. There is simply
nothing like it.

I think thats also true of other locations where there is a large
Italian population that has local pizza places that make quality pizza.
In my area there is one town in particular that has a bunch of them and
they are all in a friendly competition to make quality pizza.

That has been a subject debated for decades. Unfortunately, too many 18 year
olds do not have the sensibility to safely consume alcohol in moderation.
At 21, some do not either, nor will they at 41 or 51 or 71.

California already tried that idea, remember? It wasn't a good one.
We can't control Iraq and we couldn't control the Viet Nam conflict,
but we *can* control our alcohol laws.

I am dying to try a pizza in Napoli, but I'm not going to brave the

I get there.

The thing about naples pizza is that you can come close, but you can't
accurately reproduce it in the states. The flour can't be had.

Not to mention summer crowds. Plan for April/May or mid Sept. to mid

We have a single American who is certified to produce real Neapolitan
pizza. Wish I could remember his name. He won lots of pizza throwing
contests and now he's an officially Italian certificated pizza maker,
correct flour & all.

Of course. Can you spell "Prohibition" ?
Strict alcohol law that made the Mafia rich.
But somehow I fail to see "control" in this scenario ...

Interesting worldview.
18 year olds, who aren't capable of "drinking safely", nevertheless have
the ability to avoid getting their appendages blown off.
They aren't trustworthy enough for handling alcohol, but they're trustworthy
enough to not kill innocents in combat situations.
Reminds me of the song "Eve of destruction"s line "You're old enough
to kill, but not for voting" ...

I can only imagine. I've been less than impressed by the american style
pizza that I've sen around, namely Galleria Umberto. Hot dogs and
french fry pizza anyone?

Frozen pizzas from Italy are usually quite good. Trader Joe's
has a line of them, and there is at least one other brand sold
in the U.S. that includes buffalo mozzarella.

Go back to class. CA had a few years during the Viet Nam Conflict era
when the drinking age was lowered to age 18. We discovered it wasn't
a good idea and the legal drinking age reverted back to 21.

A little thing called "work". Off season travel won't be a
possibility for a couple more years. When I travel, I spend more time
than most people do. Just going up the west coast to canada took over
2 weeks this summer. If I go to Italy, I will spend at least a month
traveling.

Is it because the 00 flour in Italy is 'different' than the Italian brands
of flour from Italy that they sell in/to the US?

Or is it another flour that Italy uses (that we don't get) in combination
with the flour that is imported to the U.S.?

One can buy flour here imported from Italy, so am just curious what the
flour is that can't be had.

Thanks,
Dee Dee

This might be the one:
The Bay Area's own Tony Gemignani went to Naples, the birthplace of pizza,
and came home the world champion Neapolitan pizza maker - beating every
Italian contender in the very city where pizza was born.

A statement coming from someone with a mix of sub-education

Rather amusing.

And that has got to do with _control_ exactly what ?
Take your time ...

The only time I spent less than a month was when I was sent over on
business. To me, the expense of getting to Europe dictates a long stay.
And a rail pass.
