"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
To make the very best pizza, use a pizza stone! Place the stone in the oven and broil for at least 20 minutes. Change temperature to 425 degrees and cook 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Then broil for another 1-2 minutes to get the perfect pizza. Make sure to broil the stone for 5 minutes between each pizza (or while making the next pizza).
