Whereas our first efforts last week were respectable, the crust was not as consistent, lacking a bit in flavor, and the appearance of the pizza was not the greatest. This week the difference was initially proofing the dough for 6+ hours in the fridge, as opposed to an hour at room temp. Both weeks we punched down the dough and then proofed again for another 30 minutes. Here are last night's pies:





The wine accompaniment was a delicious bottle of 1998 Cronin Zin/Mourvedre. Bright spicy, tangy central coastal California wine which will probably go strong for at least another 3 years. It is easily the most enjoyable $10 red I have ever drunk.

look really really good and i would bet it is among the best in the city. but SF pizza sucks! Long live Pepe's and Sally's of New Haven CT!
Yes, we are all well aware of the tri-state area's pizza superiority. Especially when it comes to pizza BTS (by the slice).
