| New York Brick Oven Style Pizza |
Most of the pizza
in the world is made and sold in America to Americans. In the same way the Italians
perfected that pasta they borrowed from the Chinese so too the Americans
perfected pizza they borrowed from the Italians and made it into one of the world’s
largest food segments. Respect to those
brave ground breaking entrepreneurs from Pizza Hut and Dominos who knew the
masses would go for this new food and the Italian American classics like Lombardi’s,
Tortono’s and Patsy’s who brought pizza to
America early on creating an interest for those who followed and added their
own American twist. There are too many to mention but some of the big players
along the way that contributed were Uno, Bertucci’s, California Pizza Kitchen,
Goodfella’s, Sbarro, Papa John, Uncle Maddio, Little Cesar’s and the other hundreds of chains and independents
in every town across this great land. Pizza is both territorial and universal at
the same time because when all is said and done a pizza is dough, sauce, cheese
and toppings cooked in various ways at various temperatures in various ovens.
To think there is group of people from another country coming to the land of
the free and the home of the brave with the nerve to say pizza can only be made
one cookie cutter way, with one flour, with one type of mixer, one type of
cheese and cooked at one temperature in one type of oven is bad enough but to
force a pizza man trying to make ends meet to pay a monthly fee for a
certificate to make pizza and buy an exclusive flour from only one company is a
bit much for any red blooded American, besides being a bad business choice,
since all the competition will be making the same exact product. Diversity is
what makes America the place everybody wants to come and live. Whether you are on
the West Coast like California or Hawaii and want pineapples and ham or maybe
you are in Chicago looking for a deep dish or even New York City looking for a slice
-we salute you and as the great Burger king says “have it your way” and eat more pizza, because it’s all good.
