Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This pizza recipe has been passed down in the Petrella family. Paulo (Paul) Petrella was just 19 when he came to America from a small town outside of Naples, Italy and settled in West Warwick RI. He owned a brick oven bakery and his pizza recipe was passed down to his only son Antimo. Antimo (chief) became famous for his amazing pizza and made it often for his family and friends. He as his father before him always made a cross in the dough before letting it rise.
Jarrod Eno (first born grandson) is now the family pizza maker, and hopefully his son Antimo will continue the family legacy.
