I was going to shoot you an email to check in. :)<BR/><BR/>Making pizza at home is so easy it's almost criminal. Get yourself a good square pizza stone (they're only $20). You could probably buy dough from the pizza place next door - most of them sell their dough. And calzones are really easy, too. What can be wrong about gooey ricotta cheese? <BR/><BR/>That pizzola thing sounds familiar, but I can't say I've ever had one. But deep fried pizza...ummm...yeah, count me in!<BR/><BR/>I'm sending you an email now. :)Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-68737371029400888842007-11-21T08:26:00.000-05:002007-11-21T08:26:00.000-05:00After drooling over all your pizza posts, I think ...After drooling over all your pizza posts, I think I've finally talked Jay into trying to make our own pizza/calzones at home. We live seriously 100 yards from a great pizza place and I'm addicted to their calzones and vegetable stromboli but I find they put waaaaaay too much mozzarella on them. I'd much prefer it calzone-style with some ricotta. These calzones look delectable! What a smart man your husband is, suggesting Pizza Friday on a Tuesday. That's an idea I could really get behind.<BR/><BR/>The nightly dinner order they do in Newark is almost always from an Italian place so I've been getting acquainted with the various pizzas/strombolis/calzones of the greater Bloomfield/Kearney/Newark area. Am heading over to amazon.com to add a pizza stone to my wish list. I'll let you know how it goes!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I want to ask you about New Jersey/Pennsylvania "regional foods." Specifically, I recall hearing something they make at pizza places in the Trenton area -- a pizzola? Something like that? A reporter friend of ours once told me it's like a deep-fried pizza pocket. Does this sound familiar?<BR/><BR/>Have a great Thanksgiving, little lady! I have faith you'll be able to work up a turkey-sized appetite. I know you've got it in you.
