The Magic Pizza...and a Secret Recipe!

Renata and I had sneak-away lunch at Pizzeria Da Roberto around the corner a few weeks back. Just the two of us as the kids were back in school. I ordered a Diavola with Porcini mushrooms. The combo is rather magical. So magical in fact, that you can watch it disappear...

Now you see it...

Now you don't....

Renata got a dainty but deliciously light Pomodorini con basilico fresco. Also a winner every time! In the foto she's pouring olio piccante over the top. That stuff makes almost anything taste good, not that the pizza needed any help. Want to know a little secret? It's easy to make. Put a cup or two of olive oil in a clean glass jar, add some freshly cut garlic, a little salt, and a few good HOT peppers, also freshly cut. Let it sit for a few days and then start applying to your food.

It's hard to get a bad pizza here in the center. I've become so used to them in fact, that I am almost a pizza snob! Last week we had pizza in Montebelluna while running some errands there, and it just didn't do it for us.

Renata made her own pizza a few days ago too. The crust is key, and she made it rather well. I may need to get us a pizza oven out on our deck :-)
