A large slab of focaccia fresh out of the oven with grape tomatoes, thyme, Calabrian chili paste, and parmesan rests on a wire rack.

The focaccia after adding prosciutto, waiting to be eaten.

Had some leftover grape tomatoes so decided to make some focaccia with 'em. Some thyme from the garden (yay spring!), Calabrian chili paste, parm and prosciutto. Would definitely do again.

Looking forward to our own cherry tomatoes in a couple of months!

A thin crust pizza on a pizza peel. It is topped with mozzarella cheese, crumbled ground beef, shredded cheddar, a little pickle relish, drizzled with burger sauce (kewpie mayo, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle relish, onion& garlic powder, pepper), sesame seeds on the crust around the edge.

I’m sure this will bring out the haters, but whatever. I made a cheeseburger pizza last night to use up some stuff. Ground beef, mozz & cheddar, pickle relish, drizzled with burger sauce. It was good, though I probably would have preferred less meat (I’m a pizza minimalist). 🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

A pepperoni pizza sitting on a pizza peel. The crust has some nice bubbles.

Pepperoni pizza for this week’s pizza. Could have used maybe 1 minute more in the oven. Nice bubbles though. #pizzanerd 🍽️🍜

Thin crust pizza made with fig jam, goat cheese, mozzarella, and diced pancetta, topped with baby arugula, lightly dressed with olive oil.

Missed posting this a while back. It’s a re-creation of a favorite from a now closed pizza place. Fig jam, goat cheese, and pancetta pizza topped with arugula. As good as I remember it being! 🍜🍽️ #pizzanerd

A thin crust pizza topped with crème fraiche mixed with basil for sauce, halved orange & red cherry tomatoes, corn, and thinly sliced shallot. Topped with olive oil dressed arugula after baking.

I almost forgot last week’s pizza too! Corn, cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Yes, I like veggie pizzas. Had a smidge too much going on topping-wise, but still delicious. 🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

A thin crust cheese pizza with a bright gold tomato sauce, sitting on an Epicurean pizza peel.

This week’s pizza is a cheese pizza, but the sauce is a roasted cherry tomato sauce made with my orange paruche tomatoes. So delicious! #pizzanerd 🍽️🍜

Serrano, cherry tomatoes and basil for pesto all from the garden.

This eggplant was the star of this week’s pizza - a fried eggplant pizza that was frickin delicious! 🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

Thin crust pizza topped with pesto (basil, garlic scapes, pistachios, lemon, olive oil), sliced mortadella, mozzarella, dollops of ricotta.

This week’s Friday pizza was amazing! Mortadella & pistachio pesto pizza with ricotta. 😋🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

A squarish thin crust pizza with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves that were put on top after it was out of the oven. There are lots of bubbles in the crust, so the basil is arranged all around them.

Last night’s margherita-ish pizza turned out a bit square because I was too lazy to try to fix it. #pizzanerd 🍜🍽️

A pizza sitting on a pizza peel. The toppings are sautéed baby spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, red onion, parmesan and mozzarella. Sprinkled with lemon flaky salt.

Saturday pizza! Spinach-artichoke dip inspired. Hopefully this one doesn’t attract haters. 😂🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

A pizza sitting on an Epicurean pizza peel that’s sitting in an Epicurean baking board. Pizza has chopped kale, scallions in olive oil, and a base of crème fraiche & grated Parmesan.

It’s pizza time again! I must confess I’ve kinda given up doing my own crust. Started getting this thin crust dough from a local bakery and it’s just really good. And easy. 😀 tonight’s pizza is kale with sizzling scallions & crème fraiche. Big fan of kale on pizza. 🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

Today, as a gesture of thanks to those helping with our renovations, I made pizza, for the first time in months, using my Ooni Koda 16. It worked out out fine, but I'm still looking for more crunch. What do you do, friends, to get crunch? (I used Tony Gemignani's master dough with biga.) #pizzanerd

Drove my wife to Connecticut today, so I went to New Haven, to try Modern Apizza for the first time. The crust of my pizza was, at the edge, light and flimsy. Elsewhere, it was drowned in puddles of melted mozzarella and exhibited a terminal case of flopitis. Not my type of pizza. #pizzanerd

Two pieces of Ciabatta pizza topped with mozzarella, roasted artichoke hearts, chopped castelvetrano olives, dollops of whipped ricotta, sitting on a quarter sheet pan.

Chopped frisée, sliced celery, sliced red apple, chopped dates, chopped toasted walnuts, crumbled blue cheese.

Riffed on a couple recipes from the book Pizza Night by Alexandra Stafford.

Frisee, celery, and apple salad with walnuts, blue cheese, dates, lemon vinaigrette. 🍽️🍜

When it's 19F outdoors, it's time to get creative with pizza-making garb. #pizzanerd

A slice of Delaware shore pepperoni pizza cools on a melmac (a type of plastic) plate.

Delaware shore pizza. Best served on a melmac plate with a big glass of birch beer.

Will the pizza win any awards? No.

But like Proust's madeleine it's a remembrance of a simpler, sunnier youth.

My husband watched football while I made the pizza. It was delicious.

Hi Devon, reporting back after my 1st attempt with your sauce recommendation... Pretty darn happy with how it came out. I think I'll probably add a tad more oregano next time and maybe some sugar. But this is def. the closest I've got to decent NY-style pie. Thanks again!

Driving from Long Island to Boston. Halfway point? Pepeeee's New Haven! #pizzanerd

Interesting. I have #pizzanerd saved under feeds and it only shows the most recent. Searching shows everything. Thanks!

#pizzanerd

It seems like this feed auto-deletes posts after a short time. Is there any way to turn that off or set the timer for a longer retention period?

Excellent! FYI: If you add #pizzanerd to your pizza posts they'll show up in that feed.

What best accompanies pizza when you have guests? Usually I've done a salad of Boston lettuce, Belgian endive, and radicchio, but that seems insubstantial. Any suggestions? #pizzanerd

Tonight's pizza Margherita. My favorite pizza recipe is Ken Forkish's. The only reason that I don't use it all the time is you have to get started making the pizza at 9 AM. The recipe calls for 0.1 grams of yeast so it's a really long rise but well worth it.

A newly-formed pizza with fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, thinly sliced garlic and fresh oregano leaves rests on parchment paper ready to go into the oven to bake. It's a oddly shaped due to an issue with it sticking to the board before being placed on the paper.

You don’t have to be a #pizzanerd to love Pages from
the Pizza Crows…. You can also really like #crows lol.

It’s ten short stories delivered by a crow in exchange for slices pizza. Different toppings get different genres. Different crusts get different POVs.
