UNESCO awarded Naples, "Pizzaiuolo", on it's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.  Thought I would make some dough, and celebrate.

Have been reading Rick B's "More Mexican Everyday", so those flavors were in my head.

Reinhart's Napoletana, 500g ball, day 2.  I had to toss, up until about 13", stretched the last 2".
EVOO spray, chunky frijoles, chorizo onion garlic mix, Mex pulled pork from a recent cook, chihuahua, cherry smoked Cabot white cheddar, extra sharp yellow cheddar, cotija, fire roasted poblanos and maters.


Go by sound on the BS, but dome was 400, stone 600s.  This is where I veered from NP, and went with a slightly longer bake, 2 min.
This is fresh off the BS.  It was perfect for my taste, brown, and just starting to char.


But we're not done.
Lettuce, more maters, tortilla chips from the local tortilleria, crema, cilantro, Cholula chile lime, and more cotija to finish.

Rounded it off with some Bent.



Cheers Naples.
Thanks for lookin'.

    Atsa lotta stuff! Looks good though. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Nice. Reminds me of the taco pizzas  we’d get sometimes when we lived in Iowa City. But  way way better.

    Thanks guys for the kind words.

    My food critics, 6 and 10, loved the pie, and commented without encouragement, as I was standing at the sacrificial altar.

    "Right on target."  (Nephew pointing his finger like a gun.) 

    "This is fire.....actually this is phenomenal." (Son)

    Then I asked if there was something to add to make it better.  Nephew immediately chimes in, "It needs bacon".  Like bacon bits?  "Yeah!"
    He's right on target. LOL


    After dinner, took the boy to his second live music setting along the banks of the Mississippi, Bob Dorr and the Blue Band, and he got his second CD.  Was a special night, started off with a special meal.  Love my little food critics.  :)

    Thanks b.  Truth be told, haven't fired up the oven in quite some time, a year.  Thought for sure, I would F this up at some point along the way.   Felt really good, getting back in the saddle.  Need to do pies more often.

    Thanks cali, you're spot on my friend.  The tortilla chips, lettuce, tomato post bake, were inspired by the Happy Joe's Taco Pizza.
