From Dough to Delicious: The Journey of Our Handcrafted Pizzas
Pizza making is both a science and an art, and at Romeo's, we have spent time perfecting our techniques to create the perfect pizza. We believe that every step in the pizza making process is crucial, from the quality of the ingredients to the way the pizza is cooked. Here are some of our secrets to making the best pizza possible:
Use high-quality ingredients: The key to a great pizza is using the best ingredients possible. We believe that every ingredient is important, from the type of flour used in the dough to the quality of the tomatoes in the sauce. We source our ingredients carefully, choosing only the freshest and highest-quality produce, meats, and cheeses to ensure that our pizzas are bursting with flavor
Hand-stretch the dough: Hand-stretching the dough is a crucial step in creating a thin and crispy crust. It also helps to create air pockets in the dough that will give it a light and airy texture. We use a traditional Italian technique to stretch our dough by hand, which takes time and practice to master.
Let the dough rest: Allowing the dough to rest for a period of time before it's stretched helps to develop its flavor and texture. We let our dough rest for at least 24 hours to ensure that it's at its best when it goes into the oven. During this time, the dough ferments, which gives it a delicious sourdough-like flavor and helps to break down the gluten, making it easier to digest.
Use a pizza oven: If you have a pizza oven, it's the best way to cook pizza. Pizza ovens are designed to cook pizzas quickly and evenly, with a crispy crust and melted cheese. They can reach temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which allows for a perfectly cooked pizza in just a few minutes. We highly recommend using a pizza oven if you have one available.
Monitor the pizza closely: Cooking times can vary depending on the oven and the toppings, so it's important to monitor the pizza closely to ensure that it's cooking evenly. We rotate our pizzas frequently to ensure that they cook evenly and are perfectly crispy. We also pay close attention to the cheese, making sure that it's melted and bubbly but not burnt
At Romeo's, we take great care to ensure that every pizza is made with the utmost attention to detail. We believe that the art of pizza making is a never-ending process, and we're always looking for ways to improve our techniques and create even better pizzas. We hope that you'll come and taste the difference for yourself!
