I sat down with my elderly mother -in-law and wrote down all her recipes and made little cookbooks for my sister-in-laws. Covered them in one of her old tops she use to wear
I truly understand how very special your mom's recipe is to you because it's in her handwriting. After my mom passed away I found the last grocery list she wrote out. That was not just a grocery list....it was the final link I had with my mom. When a loved one passes away, the simplest things become ever so special!❤
I love that you have her hand written recipe and wanted to let you know you can have that engraved in her writting on a cutting board! My nephew had a recipe of my moms put on a cutting board for my sister shortly after our mom passed away. So special!
My hubby & daughter had my Mom’s prized Pumpkin bread recipe stamped on a cutting board for me. I cried. The writing matched hers perfectly. I see it every day as it’s propped up on my counter like a beautiful piece of art.
I'm a little burnt out on Pepperoni. I do love Sausage, green pepper, onions, black olives, with plenty of cheese, best. Many years ago, if it's still there, there was a place called, Big Ed's, here in Oak Ridge. I'm in North Knoxville here in Tennessee . I haven't been there in close to 40 years! I have been cooking often since I retired, or was disabled in 2010. But I have never tried Yeast. I'm very interested in trying this recipe and others with Yeast. Sounds so yummy 😋! I just found your Channel a few months ago, I'm enjoying it very much!!💖😅
Tom, when you were talking about your favorite toppings this is what I was reminded of. When my boy was about 2-3 years old, he would pick up the phone and order what he'd heard us say so often in his sweet little voice. It was "Hello...Giovannis, I want an 18 " pizza with sausage, macaroni, mushrooms, onions and nano peppers, and double cheese. Thank you." 😇😇LOL
Here's an easy peach one skillet pizza meal!! Pizza Pasta 1/2 lb Italian sausage hot or mild to your taste If you don't like sausage sub hamburger 1-8 oz small jar pizza sauce (or homemade) 2 -1/4 cups water About 20 slices of pepperoni (leave whole or cut in half) 8 oz Penne pasta ( can use Rotini also) 1/2 a 16 oz box 2 cups grated monzerrela Optional Any pizza toppings you like can be added later (if you want bell pepper I would salute slightly first because its added at end) Brown and drain sausage in large skillet. If you will want to brown cheese at end make sure its an oven proof skillet. Add sauce, water and pasta Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stir occasionally When most of sauce is soaked in but not dry and pasta is tender, add any topping you want in whatever quantity you want this is optional. This may seem a little saucy but once you add the cheeses it will thicken a little. If you have leftover it wont be too dry. Stir in 1-1/4 cup of cheese Add a pepperoni and whatever other toppings you are going to Stir and then sprinkle remaining cheese on top. At this point if you like your cheese browned a little, put under broiler for a couple minutes, watch carefully. I skip this, put a lid on and let cheese melt. I have added mushrooms (fresh sliced will cook in sauce while its detting), olives, peppers, and lightly sauteed bell pepper This is easy, takes one skillet, and done in about 30 minutes!
Just want you to know I watch a lot of these shows and without a doubt just from watching you and your wife are the nicest people I have seen on you tube I actually think I could come and sit at your table and would be welcome and feel comfortable. Good job, you do a great cooking channel. God bless you both
Homemade pizza, dough and all….so impressive! I am a Philly gal and we have lots of great pizza joints in and around the city of brotherly love, but my all time favorite is Renzi’s on Harbison Avenue in Philadelphia, PA and right now I am lovin’ Anthony’s coal fired pizza in Horsham, PA (Montgomery county). Pizza is great for any meal of the day in my book and you guys have my mouth watering so hubby and I are gonna have to go out for pizza tonight lol!!! Thanks and God bless!
I have a friend that had her grannys hand written recipes for several dishes. A very detailed cake recipe, biscuits, etc. Oh my friend was in her late 80s. So these recipes were well over 100 years old. Her granddaughters copied her recipes onto a cloth. They hand embroidered the recipes and put them in antique frames and they hung proudly throughout her kitchen on the walls. They also had some lovely poetic letters she had written. Maybe that would be a lovely way to preserve your mothers hand written recipes ❤❤
Wonderful video. We always sprinkle a little corn meal under our pizza crust. We like pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, and onions on ours. However, we usually just do pepperoni and mushrooms. Our favorite pizza place is Piazza Sorrento in Hershey Pennsylvania
You are a nice Man. You mentioned your Moms recipe written in her hand. Even at sixt eight years I still get choked up when I read something in my Mom or Dads hand writing and look out when I get out one of Grandmas recipes. I weep. You know what I mean. When you did the potato pancake video it really got to me. Grandma was from Austria and had the accent when I was little I couldn’t identify half of what she was saying but I knew it was all about love. Thanks for your hard work and inspiring great memories!
Tom the pizza looks perfectly delicious. Melissa you have a wonderful husband with a giant heart and Tom your parents raised a good man. Bless u2 for all you do❤
I went to college in New Haven, Connecticut and fell in love with Frank Pepe's Pizza. Thick crust, wood fired oven, line out to the sidewalk some nights as it's so good. I know they have won awards and I think they are still open. A relative opened their own restaurant also in New Haven and they war for first place over and over, but this one always had the best staff to me.
This looks yummy. My favorite pizza is from Al's New York Pizza in Huntington, WV. Tell Melissa I always eat pizza with no sauce. That eliminated heartburn. It started when I visited San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy. They never use sauce in that part of southern Italy. They also don't cover it with cheese. Instead they use fresh mozzarella like a topping placed in spots over it. Another thing I discovered over there is they do NOT cut the pizza. You simply just tear it off as you want it. As far as favorite toppings, mine is Italian sausage and a variety of veggies.
I made a homemade pizza last night for supper. We like a thick crust pizza and my dough is very lite and fluffy. Made in a large jelly roll pan. I made 8 loaves of white bread and and 6 loaves of Italian bread every Saturday. (Shared with my parents every week). Love working with yeast doughs. The less you work your dough the lighter it is. Yummy 😋 Yes that is called a Danish dough whisk and works great!
Tom and Melissa..I love watching your videos! I have made several of your recipes and will continue to do so💕 I would like to make a constructive comment: Please have your Momma's recipe laminated ❤ precious, precious.
Hemi’s Pizza in Oklahoma City, my brother worked there when he was just out of Highschool. It was a very long time ago as he graduated in 1973. They were one of the first that hand tossed their crust and one of the first to make calzones. It closed years ago but oh my they were good.
Where was that? I graduated HS in 73 in OKC also and I don't remember a Hemi's Pizza. The two I remember back then that we went to were Shakey's and Shotgun Sam's. Pizza Planet and Kens were good but I think they were around later in OKC. OKC has a lot of really good non chain pizza places now. Empire, Slice and Dado's that supposedly has a machine that replicates NY water for a real NY style pizza.
when you were taking the raised Pizza Dough out of the oven, I flashed back to the ep. of "I Love Lucy" when Lucy and Ethyl made home made bread LOL Pizza is another of my go to's , I had some for dinner while watching this. thanks again for inviting us into your home, and Your Kitchen for another Great recipe my friends 😀
Hey Tom - I stumbled upon your channel before the holidays, and have really enjoyed all the things you have shared - especially the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and now the "Souper Bowl" series. I look forward to each new video. I am commenting today to say - I am 76 years old - love to cook and bake - and have NEVER heard of a Danish Whisk before. I have looked it up online - and am impressed by the comments on it - and I just ordered one from Amazon!! : ) Thank you for for your great videos - and for showing me a new fun tool!! Bless you guys. ❤ and Thank You for the pizza crust recipe!
We live in Knoxville, TN. However, our favorite pizza restaurant is located in Beaufort North Carolina. It's called " No Name Pizzza". Its the best pizza we have ever eaten. We discovered it when we were volunteer lighthouse keepers at Cape Lookout, NC. That's an awesome place to visit if your in the area. We really enjoy your videos. We've made several of your recipes. Just made your Butter Pecan Fudge last night ( our 3rd time 😋).
The fact that you're left-handed got my sub. There are very few of our kind in the world, we gotta stick together. ✊🏼 Oh, yeah, the food recipes are great too.😄 Favourite pizza place: Main St. Pizza, San Antonio TX. A mom and Pop. They made everything fresh, even had a garden. Have no idea if it still exists, that was at least 30yrs ago. It was right near the SAC(San Antonio college)so I ate there a lot when I was going to college. I looked it up, it's still there. Favourite toppings: For a bacon cheeseburger pizza I like beef, bacon, motz and cheddar cheese and black olives. For any ol' pizza a combo of beef, grilled chicken, black olives, green peppers,bacon,mushrooms as well as different kinds of cheeses depending on my mood. Feta cheese is excellent on pizza.
Hi Tom & Melissa I love your show and have learned so much from you since I started watching your show. The very best Pizza I ever had was in Slovenia visiting relatives in 2006. Other than that I lived in Vacaville, CA for over 30 years and Pietro’s Pizza was my very favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your mother and father’s recipe for Pizza Dough, I can’t wait to try it. ❤️
Hi Melissa…seeing that pizza dough takes me back to the early’70’s! My Dad traveled 2-3 days a week for his salesman’s job & on those nights my Mom let us fix “fun” suppers!! I would make Chef Boyardee Pizzas 🍕!! I don’t remember us EVER having REAL EXTRA TOPPINGS! lol I would add cut up lunch meat, bologna, Velveta, etc…but man were those pizzas GOOD!! Thanks for this memory!!!
Recipes that are written out on lined paper are some of the best recipes. I have several of those, which I have put into photo albums. I find this a great way to store them.
Can't wait to try your Mama's pizza recipe. I am an amateur home baker who sells a lot of yeast breads and sourdough, and I have many pizzas in my life, I have never seen a pizza crust recipe with an egg. I often wondered why you wouldn't, so thanks to your mama, I have a new recipe to try. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipes.
OMG ! Made this pizza dough tonight for homemade pizza, the very best crust I have ever made, it was so easy to put together, this recipe is definitely my go to, your Mother must have been an amazing cook. ( PS ) I did add the salt to the bottom of my pizza pan, great tip, thank you for sharing your Mom’s recipe 😊
I'm back watching mom's pizza again and with a tip of course. If you ever try refrigerating your dough overnight after mixing it and not rising, you'll find what a wonderful flavor it has. It slow rises in the fridge and the ferment is delish and way easier to work with too. A large deli container is good for it and space saving.
I made your bacon corn chowder recipe today..It was so good. Doubled the amount, shared it with co workers, it was completely gone. Everyone really enjoyed it.❤
My favorite pizza is Aroma pizza in ft Wayne in. You mentioned salt on the pizza pan. Aroma uses cornmeal as I do. Also i 27:16 always wait a while after the pizza has started to bake before putting on my cheese. Don’t like burnt cheese😊 26:56
As a fellow Ketuckian…born in Harrodsburg with ties in Somerset and Louisville, transplanted to Northeast Tennessee (Johnson City) Johnny Brusco’s is my favorite. Close second is Gregs. Keep up the great videos.❤️
I'm making homemade pizza Friday night so this video was right up my alley. I also like a lot of pizza sauce. We don't go out for pizza anymore, I just make it here at home. When we had "Papa Murphy's-Take-n-Bake pizza", that was the only place we ate pizza from. They are no longer in Nicholasville, but I think they still have a couple of places in Lexington and Louisville. They will make the pizza right in front of you, but they don't bake it. You take it home and bake it yourself. That way it is nice and hot fresh out of the oven. They make the pizza on an oven-safe tray and you bake the pizza directly on that tray. They include instructions for baking the pizza, but we were old pros since we ate from there about once every 2 weeks. My favorite was the "Herb Chicken Mediterranean" which included the ingredients of.... Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herbs, Chopped Garlic, Crumbled Feta, Whole-Milk Mozzarella, and Olive Oil & Garlic Sauce......what I liked about it was that it was on a very thin crust and the sauce was made up of olive oil and finely crushed garlic. You can check out their website if that sounds like something you may want to try one day. Wish I had, had you all as my teachers, life would have been more interesting. Tom, you've got the perfect teacher voice and I could listen to you talk all day. You remind me so much of a favorite math teacher I had in HS. He was actually everyone's favorite teacher. I love watching you cook and hearing about your and Melissa's life and adventures. We need to get Melissa in front of the camera to do a cooking segment.
It's so great that you have your mom's hand-written recipes. I just found your channel a few days ago. Binge watched several. Now I have my mother watching too. Our favorite pizza place is in Purcell,Oklahoma Joe's pizza. Best pizza ever. I'm not sure they are still there. We moved away from there, probably 40 years ago.
Andy's Pizza and Steakhouse in Dunlap Tennessee. They used to be in Richmond KY when I was at EKU from 73-75 but at some point they moved down there and we found them again. They're as wonderful now as they were then! We drove 3 1/2 hours to eat there again and it hasn't changed a bit. That first bite took me back to my EKU days. Fantastic!!!❤❤
Hi from Granite Bay, CA I’ll have to try old town. Right on the corner of Auburn Folsom Rd and Douglas is Dominick’s Restaurant and Deli. Their Pizza is amazing. They ship in water from New York to make their dough. Tom and Melisa love your channel and have made many of your recipes.
You made this look so much easier than I thought it would be. Our favorite pizza was called the Mona Lisa from De Vinci's Pizza. They're in B'ham, Al. We haven't lived there since 1983 but they're still there. We live in MI now but we've never forgotten how delicious their pizza was. I'll just have to try your recipe to see if I can come up with another favorite.😊
What a lovely tribute to your Mom. I am fortunate to have my mothers and grandmothers recipe box with a ton of family recipes in their own handwriting. I cherish it dearly since they are no longer with us. Who doesn’t love 🍕!!!
My very favorite pizza is out on Hatteras Island, in Avon. It is Nino's, hands down the very best pizza I have ever eaten. The staff is wonderful as well.
Melissa, a great gift opportunity for Tom and generations to come. Framed in a way paper won't degrade and maybe a small pic of his mom or something...seems so special to him...
@NAT-rm9lu, I'm from New Castle (don't live there anymore though). Not heard of that pizza place but the next time I go home I'll have to look it up. As I put in the comments, Top Hat Two pizza (along with Jack's Donuts) is the best pizza in the world 😊... sure do miss them 😔 😊.
Hello Friends. Thank you for sharing your Mom's pizza recipe. You might want to consider either putting your recipe in a plastic cover to protect it or make some copies and use them instead of the original. I know how wonderful it is to have things in my Mamas handwriting - so precious, right?
I love how Tom doesn’t waste anything! I do the same thing because that’s what my Mama did. She scraped off every bowl, spoon, and beaters. Miss her so much.
Collegeville Bakery in Collegeville PA. We’re from there although we now live in southern DE. The family that owns this place used to be our neighbors two doors down. Their place is exactly the kind of place you would love. Great pizza but oh so much more that you would love. When we go home , we always try to stop in to eat , take out or just say hi to our old neighbors. This is a very special place. Try their fried chicken cutlets, sausage peppers and onions and pulled pork too! We love your show!
I love veggie pizza with onions, bell pepper, black olives,spinach, and zucchini. I also like pepperoni or ground beef. We only have chain pizza places near us. We love to make our own. Thanks for sharing your special recipe. Love your channel!
My favorite pizza came from my mom‘s kitchen! She had a great dough recipe. She made her own sauce, using tomato paste, water, garlic and oregano, She used smoked sausage and shredded cheddar cheddar cheese. Our family loves it to this day, and one of my nieces carries on the tradition. I live in Louisiana, or smoked sausage is a staple! Other than my mom‘s pizza, I love the crust, pepperoni pizza and barbecue pizza, with barbecue sauce, chicken, or brisket and cheese.
It really is! We did enjoy it very much and we love making it even thinner as well. Really, there is not much pizza we don't like. Thanks so much for watching our channel. Hope you're staying warm on this cold winter's day.

Looks so good. I want to try making this. I don't like a dry pizza either so it's really frustrating when i order one with extra sauce but they NEVER put extra sauce so making a homemade one would be perfect for my family. Thank you kindly!
Back a few years ago, I had the absolute pleasure of eating pizza in Calgary Alberta. This is located in the community of Inglewood, nestled along the Bow River. The dough and sauce were all homemade. At that time, they sourced the best local ingredients. OMG, it was the best pizza I had ever eaten in my life! Inglewood is across the Bow River, just south of the Calgary Zoo. There is actually a connector bridge from the zoo to Inglewood. Inglewood also has a beautiful farm market with many sellers that hold the same heart as you and Melissa.
I enjoy your program and have tried a lot of your recipes. Thanks and keep on making these great recpies. Theres nothing better than recpies thats already been tried to know they are good
You showed me something tonight that I am definitely going to try. I am 74 years old and I have never seen the cheese on top of the toppings it was always the cheese put down and then the toppings I like the idea very much and I’m going to give it a try I am also going to put salt at the bottom of the pan I also like my sauce edge to edge just like my toast I want the butter edge to edge. Thank you
That pizza looked really good. Thank you for sharing it with us. As far as a favorite pizza place, I don’t really have one. The worst pizza I ever had I thought was still really good. I just love this stuff!
I like pepperoni, black olives, green peppers, and plenty of sauce. I like on the bottom of crust Parmesan cheese it gives the crust a great flavor. I love watching your videos and I have made several of your recipes. Chocolate pie, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie. I love that you're so precise on the way you cook and your presentation. I don't like watching videos where they waste food. Thank you
I have to say I just love when Tom has his first bite haha also I love how you have your mums old hand written recipes I have a few of those too I love them
The recipes my Mom gave me in her handwriting I store in my special cookbook. I made copies of them for my book I use and share on a regular basis. Cherish them forever ❤
Best pizza for me was in a little place in Aguas Calientes, Peru, that sits just below Machu Picchu. It was baked in a wood fired oven. I don't even remember what it had on it, but it could've been the place and friends we were with that made it so special.
Love the tip about the salt on the bottom of the pizza pan. I don't eat a lot of pizza, due to dietary restrictions, but I love ham, hamburger, & bacon on my pizza. Love y'alls videos!!
I LOVE 🍕 it, But, me neither, had Heart Surgery in 2022 and have Diabetes. I LOVE SOOO MANY OF THEIR RECIPES, BUT TOO MUCH BUTTER, SUGAR AND SOMETIMES THE CANNED BISCUITS FROM STORE. LIMITED ON SALT, TOO 😕. STILL, LOVE BEING AT THE TABLE HERE WITH TOM & MELISSA 😊💙🙏✝️🙌
I live in Suffolk County long Island NY and i grew up in Shirley NY. We had a fantastic pizzeria named Jaime's pizza the owner was frank and he and his son Joe ran the shop. It was very delicious 😋 food from the pizza to other special items. They sold it to someone else and they didn't keep the name. We miss them and the food. We live now in Patchogue Suffolk County long Island NY and we live on Waverly Avenue off exit 52 from sunrise highway south of sunrise highway we have a great place called Alvarez pizzeria. The guys who own it are very nice and very friendly. They are Spanish and Italian and they have some great food and recipes that remind me and my boyfriend of the food we had growing up.
Hello, I love homemade pizza it's lovely that you have your Mother's that is always precious. Also i like the way that Melissa asks questions that us viewers can't. ❤❤
Kathie says…Our favorite pizza is from WISE PIES in Terre Haute, Indiana. They make New York style pizza and we love it!! On my half I order: Tomato, Mushroom, Black Olives & extra cheese. My husband’s half is: Pork Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Pepper, Onion and easy on the cheese. Your Pizza looks delicious and I will make it soon!! I grew up eating my mom’s CHEF BOY ARDEE PIZZA ( box mix ) she used the sauce and put pinches of hamburger all over it, salt and pepper, and then sprinkled it with the cheese included in the box…that’s it!! AND I LOVED IT…STILL DO! I make that pizza now and then…the same way, and it is such a treat!!! They no longer include the cheese in the box so I use Kraft Parmesan-Romano mix (the Green Container). I have eaten that pizza since around 1953!!🥰
The best pizza I have ever had was in Michigan. It's called Buccilli's , a family owned restaurant located in Clare, and Houghton Lake/Prudenville. Absolutely delicious!! My favorite topping is pepperoni, but I also like ham and pineapple. A funny story - my aunt and uncle were visiting Italy and ordered a pizza. They were asked what they wanted on it and they responded - plain. When the pizza arrived it was crust and sauce, no cheese!! Thanks for sharing and continued good health to both of you! ❤❤❤
I used to get their pizza, but at their original location in Almont, Michigan, which is still open. I used to go to school with their daughter, Penny, back in the 80's. We both went to Armada schools, which wasn't far from Almont. They also have amazing cakes! My mom always loved their cherry nut cake. We bought them for her birthday several times. It's not every day that you see someone on UA-cam mention a local place, not to mention a great pizza place started by the family you know and have eaten many times! ❤
I guess the original was in Clare, I always thought it was Almont. That's the only one we knew of. Next time I'm in Clare for a visit to Coos & Donuts, I'm going to have to try that Buccillis location. I'd hope their pizza tastes the same as I remember at the Almont location. ❤
Love the handwritten recipes 💕 Pizza story……One of our first dates at Murray State was at a pizza place that is no longer there , it’s been 50+years. Anyway John ordered TunaFish pizza, I like tuna and I thought it would be okay. Well it WASN’T. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Not wanting to be so picky, I tolerated it as graceful as I could. After we had dated awhile I told him how I felt about the Tuna pizza. Now when we get pizza we sometimes refer to our Tuna pizza and share a special memory. Favorite pizza was CASSANOS, in the early70’s. In Dayton or Kettering Ohio. Thin & crispy and cut into pieces. (Not sliced in triangles) but pieces. Pepperoni. ❣️ Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you. Especially thanks to Melissa for the written copy of the recipes❣️❣️.
I would suggest having such a valued heirloom in a plastic notebook sleeve or have it laminated to keep it clean and preserved. Also make a copy (beforehand) of it should family members want one (especially in her own handwriting) ❤. Edit: it looks easy. And Delicious 🤤
In the 70s i worked as a bookkeeper for a food processor. All day they made pizzas all day for commissary. They sold supplies to all the restaurants .This is before frozen pizzas were thr norm. Their pizza crust was premade from a company in Virginia. We rarely had anything with cooked tomatoes like pizza sauce as my daddy refused to eat it. All his kids and grands love pizzas.
Pepperoni sausage, if they have it spinach, onion's green bell peppers and I do also like a good Hawaiian pizza with just pineapple and ham. The only toppings I'm not crazy about is the mushrooms and the black olives or green olives.I don't eat them❤❤❤
A video I missed! I don't know how that happened. When I first discovered your channel I literally binge watched every video. I'm totally with you Tom on the less bread, more pizza. I never eat the crust unless it's stuffed crust. I always order the thin and crispy crust. I can't say I have a favorite topping because I pretty much love them all. Except pineapple but even that I don't hate. My favorite pizza is the meat lovers from Pizza Hut.
What a wonderful recipe. I used to work in a pizza restaurant and learned how to throw dough, which I truly miss doing. I will definitely try this dough. The pizza looks amazing.
We chose to make a simple pepperoni pizza that night, but the crust made it so good. We really did enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really love having you joining us at the table.
I have been baking bread and making pizza crusts for decades but I make my pizza dough the way Italian’s make their dough, water yeast salt and flour, no sugar or oil needed and the dough is beautiful and tastes delicious. Yeast only needs flour to munch on, no sugar needed, it just takes a little longer for your dough to rise. I put my dough after having kneaded it for 15 minutes by hand (which gives the pizza dough bubbles around the edge like a pizza from a wood fired pizza) an olive oil greased bowl, covered up, into the oven with the oven light on which speeds the rising process.
My favorite pizza is from White Cottage in Wood Dale , Illinois. Thin crust with sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers with extra cheese. Yummy.
Sir Pizza was our all time favourite pizza located in Titusville Florida in the 70s. 🎉They closed that location but kept open the one in Daytona Beach. Unfortunately the only one still in operation is in Palmetto Bay, Florida. They use cracked black pepper instead of salt under the crust. They ground their pepperoni, which insured pepperoni in each bite. I sure miss those pizzas…!
I have tons of recipes handwritten by my Mama and I love getting them out and reading them bc she included tips that would help me make the recipe better. I knew she had made it before and knew what makes it better. She’s no longer with us so I cherish those recipes even more. My favorite place to eat pizza has been closed for years and years. We ate there when I was a child up until I was eleven yrs old. It was Shakey’s Pizza in Monroe, LA. Thirty minutes from Bastrop, LA, my home town. They made pizza in front of a window where we could stand and watch them and the pizza was fantastic! They also had a player piano. That was special. Our entire family would go once each week on Friday or Saturday. Usually Friday night bc my Daddy watched LSU football on Saturday. There was no way he was missing those games and I was with him on that. He instilled that love for his team in me even as a child! Thanks for this pizza recipe. I’m going to try this pizza dough. But when I put my pizza together I gotta cut way back on that sauce! lol
One other tip, as I do a lot of bakng of Italian bread. I purchase my active dry yeast at either sams club or costco as you can get 2 lbs for about the price of what you pay for the gar. I keep it in the freezer and also keep a gar in the fridge. Hope you two have a wonderful weekend
Have you ever had Detroit Style Pizza? I live in Michigan and have never had it. People say it is the best. I ordered the pan to make it. I just don’t to go to Detroit and have my car stolen again. There is a lot of good recipes for the Detroit Pizza. Your wife would love the way they dump the sauce on top of the pizza. Love your videos.
I sat down with my elderly mother -in-law and wrote down all her recipes and made little cookbooks for my sister-in-laws. Covered them in one of her old tops she use to wear
Wonderful idea and so sentimental! Such a nice tribute to your loved one!❤
Love your show. I am 81years old. And still learning new things THANK you
@@glendabennett2520 we certainly appreciate that you’re watching! Happy Thanksgiving!
I love that you put the recipe in the description. I don't like it when I have to go to another website for it. Thank you!!
I truly understand how very special your mom's recipe is to you because it's in her handwriting. After my mom passed away I found the last grocery list she wrote out. That was not just a grocery list....it was the final link I had with my mom.
When a loved one passes away, the simplest things become ever so special!❤
I love that you have her hand written recipe and wanted to let you know you can have that engraved in her writting on a cutting board! My nephew had a recipe of my moms put on a cutting board for my sister shortly after our mom passed away. So special!
Pizza Hut yum
That is such a sweet idea
My hubby & daughter had my Mom’s prized Pumpkin bread recipe stamped on a cutting board for me. I cried. The writing matched hers perfectly. I see it every day as it’s propped up on my counter like a beautiful piece of art.
I'm a little burnt out on Pepperoni. I do love Sausage, green pepper, onions, black olives, with plenty of cheese, best.
Many years ago, if it's still there, there was a place called, Big Ed's, here in Oak Ridge. I'm in North Knoxville here in Tennessee . I haven't been there in close to 40 years!
I have been cooking often since I retired, or was disabled in 2010. But I have never tried Yeast. I'm very interested in trying this recipe and others with Yeast. Sounds so yummy 😋!
I just found your Channel a few months ago, I'm enjoying it very much!!💖😅
That's a beautiful idea!😊
Pasquales pizza in Newport, KY! YUM!!!
There is also one in Frederick Md too- they do have amazing pizza
Tom, when you were talking about your favorite toppings this is what I was reminded of. When my boy was about 2-3 years old, he would pick up the phone and order what he'd heard us say so often in his sweet little voice. It was "Hello...Giovannis, I want an 18 " pizza with sausage, macaroni, mushrooms, onions and nano peppers, and double cheese. Thank you." 😇😇LOL
Here's an easy peach one skillet pizza meal!!
Pizza Pasta
1/2 lb Italian sausage hot or mild to your taste
If you don't like sausage sub hamburger
1-8 oz small jar pizza sauce (or homemade)
2 -1/4 cups water
About 20 slices of pepperoni (leave whole or cut in half)
8 oz Penne pasta ( can use Rotini also) 1/2 a 16 oz box
2 cups grated monzerrela
Optional
Any pizza toppings you like can be added later (if you want bell pepper I would salute slightly first because its added at end)
Brown and drain sausage in large skillet. If you will want to brown cheese at end make sure its an oven proof skillet.
Add sauce, water and pasta
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stir occasionally
When most of sauce is soaked in but not dry and pasta is tender, add any topping you want in whatever quantity you want this is optional. This may seem a little saucy but once you add the cheeses it will thicken a little. If you have leftover it wont be too dry.
Stir in 1-1/4 cup of cheese
Add a pepperoni and whatever other toppings you are going to
Stir and then sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
At this point if you like your cheese browned a little, put under broiler for a couple minutes, watch carefully. I skip this, put a lid on and let cheese melt.
I have added mushrooms (fresh sliced will cook in sauce while its detting), olives, peppers, and lightly sauteed bell pepper
This is easy, takes one skillet, and done in about 30 minutes!
Just want you to know I watch a lot of these shows and without a doubt just from watching you and your wife are the nicest people I have seen on you tube I actually think I could come and sit at your table and would be welcome and feel comfortable. Good job, you do a great cooking channel. God bless you both
Homemade pizza, dough and all….so impressive! I am a Philly gal and we have lots of great pizza joints in and around the city of brotherly love, but my all time favorite is Renzi’s on Harbison Avenue in Philadelphia, PA and right now I am lovin’ Anthony’s coal fired pizza in Horsham, PA (Montgomery county). Pizza is great for any meal of the day in my book and you guys have my mouth watering so hubby and I are gonna have to go out for pizza tonight lol!!! Thanks and God bless!
@@Deborahamend1 we love getting these two restaurant recommendations. If we are ever in Philly, we’d love to try these out!
A little cornmeal scattered on the bottom of the pan is delicious.
I have a friend that had her grannys hand written recipes for several dishes. A very detailed cake recipe, biscuits, etc. Oh my friend was in her late 80s. So these recipes were well over 100 years old. Her granddaughters copied her recipes onto a cloth. They hand embroidered the recipes and put them in antique frames and they hung proudly throughout her kitchen on the walls. They also had some lovely poetic letters she had written. Maybe that would be a lovely way to preserve your mothers hand written recipes ❤❤
@@misstlc7136 what a sweet idea. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Wonderful video. We always sprinkle a little corn meal under our pizza crust. We like pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, and onions on ours. However, we usually just do pepperoni and mushrooms.
Our favorite pizza place is Piazza Sorrento in Hershey Pennsylvania
You are a nice Man. You mentioned your Moms recipe written in her hand. Even at sixt eight years I still get choked up when I read something in my Mom or Dads hand writing and look out when I get out one of Grandmas recipes. I weep. You know what I mean. When you did the potato pancake video it really got to me. Grandma was from Austria and had the accent when I was little I couldn’t identify half of what she was saying but I knew it was all about love. Thanks for your hard work and inspiring great memories!
Tom the pizza looks perfectly delicious. Melissa you have a wonderful husband with a giant heart and Tom your parents raised a good man. Bless u2 for all you do❤
@@blee4974 thank you for such a sweet comment.
❤ Godfather pizza when I was a kid and pizza inn was 2 on the list not here any more .las Vegas 🫶🏿❤️
I went to college in New Haven, Connecticut and fell in love with Frank Pepe's Pizza. Thick crust, wood fired oven, line out to the sidewalk some nights as it's so good. I know they have won awards and I think they are still open. A relative opened their own restaurant also in New Haven and they war for first place over and over, but this one always had the best staff to me.
This looks yummy. My favorite pizza is from Al's New York Pizza in Huntington, WV.
Tell Melissa I always eat pizza with no sauce. That eliminated heartburn.
It started when I visited San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy. They never use sauce in that part of southern Italy. They also don't cover it with cheese. Instead they use fresh mozzarella like a topping placed in spots over it. Another thing I discovered over there is they do NOT cut the pizza. You simply just tear it off as you want it.
As far as favorite toppings, mine is Italian sausage and a variety of veggies.
I love the ham and pineapple on pizza too. I like veggies ,mushrooms,bell peppers ,Kalakaua olives, l like lots of tomato,sauce too.
That was supposed to be Kalamata olives.
I made a homemade pizza last night for supper. We like a thick crust pizza and my dough is very lite and fluffy. Made in a large jelly roll pan. I made 8 loaves of white bread and and 6 loaves of Italian bread every Saturday. (Shared with my parents every week). Love working with yeast doughs. The less you work your dough the lighter it is. Yummy 😋 Yes that is called a Danish dough whisk and works great!
Tom and Melissa..I love watching your videos! I have made several of your recipes and will continue to do so💕
I would like to make a constructive comment:
Please have your Momma's recipe laminated ❤ precious, precious.
Or put in a protective sleeve. 😊
Hemi’s Pizza in Oklahoma City, my brother worked there when he was just out of Highschool. It was a very long time ago as he graduated in 1973. They were one of the first that hand tossed their crust and one of the first to make calzones. It closed years ago but oh my they were good.
Where was that? I graduated HS in 73 in OKC also and I don't remember a Hemi's Pizza. The two I remember back then that we went to were Shakey's and Shotgun Sam's. Pizza Planet and Kens were good but I think they were around later in OKC. OKC has a lot of really good non chain pizza places now. Empire, Slice and Dado's that supposedly has a machine that replicates NY water for a real NY style pizza.
An awesome way to honor your Mother. That looks delicious! Enjoy your day.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed the pizza. The crust makes a difference.
when you were taking the raised Pizza Dough out of the oven,
I flashed back to the ep. of "I Love Lucy" when Lucy and Ethyl
made home made bread LOL
Pizza is another of my go to's , I had some for dinner while watching
this. thanks again for inviting us into your home, and Your Kitchen for
another Great recipe my friends 😀
Hey Tom - I stumbled upon your channel before the holidays, and have really enjoyed all the things you have shared - especially the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and now the "Souper Bowl" series. I look forward to each new video. I am commenting today to say - I am 76 years old - love to cook and bake - and have NEVER heard of a Danish Whisk before. I have looked it up online - and am impressed by the comments on it - and I just ordered one from Amazon!! : ) Thank you for for your great videos - and for showing me a new fun tool!! Bless you guys. ❤ and Thank You for the pizza crust recipe!
We live in Knoxville, TN. However, our favorite pizza restaurant is located in Beaufort North Carolina. It's called " No Name Pizzza".
Its the best pizza we have ever eaten. We discovered it when we were volunteer lighthouse keepers at Cape Lookout, NC. That's an awesome place to visit if your in the area.
We really enjoy your videos. We've made several of your recipes. Just made your Butter Pecan Fudge last night ( our 3rd time 😋).
Thank you for sharing your mom's pizza, Tom . Thank you Melissa for the recipe. I love watching your videos and share them with my kids.
The fact that you're left-handed got my sub. There are very few of our kind in the world, we gotta stick together. ✊🏼
Oh, yeah, the food recipes are great too.😄
Favourite pizza place: Main St. Pizza, San Antonio TX. A mom and Pop.
They made everything fresh, even had a garden. Have no idea if it still exists, that was at least 30yrs ago. It was right near the SAC(San Antonio college)so I ate there a lot when I was going to college. I looked it up, it's still there.
Favourite toppings:
For a bacon cheeseburger pizza I like beef, bacon, motz and cheddar cheese and black olives.
For any ol' pizza a combo of beef, grilled chicken, black olives, green peppers,bacon,mushrooms as well as different kinds of cheeses depending on my mood. Feta cheese is excellent on pizza.
Hi Tom & Melissa I love your show and have learned so much from you since I started watching your show. The very best Pizza I ever had was in Slovenia visiting relatives in 2006. Other than that I lived in Vacaville, CA for over 30 years and Pietro’s Pizza was my very favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your mother and father’s recipe for Pizza Dough, I can’t wait to try it. ❤️
Hi Melissa…seeing that pizza dough takes me back to the early’70’s! My Dad traveled 2-3 days a week for his salesman’s job & on those nights my Mom let us fix “fun” suppers!! I would make Chef Boyardee Pizzas 🍕!! I don’t remember us EVER having REAL EXTRA TOPPINGS! lol I would add cut up lunch meat, bologna, Velveta, etc…but man were those pizzas GOOD!! Thanks for this memory!!!
Recipes that are written out on lined paper are some of the best recipes. I have several of those, which I have put into photo albums. I find this a great way to store them.
Can't wait to try your Mama's pizza recipe. I am an amateur home baker who sells a lot of yeast breads and sourdough, and I have many pizzas in my life, I have never seen a pizza crust recipe with an egg. I often wondered why you wouldn't, so thanks to your mama, I have a new recipe to try. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipes.
OMG ! Made this pizza dough tonight for homemade pizza, the very best crust I have ever made, it was so easy to put together, this recipe is definitely my go to, your Mother must have been an amazing cook. ( PS ) I did add the salt to the bottom of my pizza pan, great tip, thank you for sharing your Mom’s recipe 😊
My daughter took me to a little pizza shop in Lebanon Indiana. Called Greeks Pizza. It was so good. I have since been there three more times.
I'm back watching mom's pizza again and with a tip of course. If you ever try refrigerating your dough overnight after mixing it and not rising, you'll find what a wonderful flavor it has. It slow rises in the fridge and the ferment is delish and way easier to work with too. A large deli container is good for it and space saving.
Looks delicious and i love how y'all go back in time and create the original recipe. Memories of foods is so unforgettable!
I made your bacon corn chowder recipe today..It was so good. Doubled the amount, shared it with co workers, it was completely gone. Everyone
really enjoyed
it.❤
My favorite pizza is Aroma pizza in ft Wayne in. You mentioned salt on the pizza pan. Aroma uses cornmeal as I do. Also i 27:16 always wait a while after the pizza has started to bake before putting on my cheese. Don’t like burnt cheese😊 26:56
As a fellow Ketuckian…born in Harrodsburg with ties in Somerset and Louisville, transplanted to Northeast Tennessee (Johnson City) Johnny Brusco’s is my favorite. Close second is Gregs. Keep up the great videos.❤️
Y’all are so kind to one another, I love it
I'm making homemade pizza Friday night so this video was right up my alley. I also like a lot of pizza sauce. We don't go out for pizza anymore, I just make it here at home. When we had "Papa Murphy's-Take-n-Bake pizza", that was the only place we ate pizza from. They are no longer in Nicholasville, but I think they still have a couple of places in Lexington and Louisville. They will make the pizza right in front of you, but they don't bake it. You take it home and bake it yourself. That way it is nice and hot fresh out of the oven. They make the pizza on an oven-safe tray and you bake the pizza directly on that tray. They include instructions for baking the pizza, but we were old pros since we ate from there about once every 2 weeks. My favorite was the "Herb Chicken Mediterranean" which included the ingredients of....
Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herbs, Chopped Garlic, Crumbled Feta, Whole-Milk Mozzarella, and Olive Oil & Garlic Sauce......what I liked about it was that it was on a very thin crust and the sauce was made up of olive oil and finely crushed garlic. You can check out their website if that sounds like something you may want to try one day. Wish I had, had you all as my teachers, life would have been more interesting. Tom, you've got the perfect teacher voice and I could listen to you talk all day. You remind me so much of a favorite math teacher I had in HS. He was actually everyone's favorite teacher. I love watching you cook and hearing about your and Melissa's life and adventures. We need to get Melissa in front of the camera to do a cooking segment.
It's so great that you have your mom's hand-written recipes. I just found your channel a few days ago. Binge watched several. Now I have my mother watching too. Our favorite pizza place is in Purcell,Oklahoma Joe's pizza. Best pizza ever. I'm not sure they are still there. We moved away from there, probably 40 years ago.
Andy's Pizza and Steakhouse in Dunlap Tennessee. They used to be in Richmond KY when I was at EKU from 73-75 but at some point they moved down there and we found them again. They're as wonderful now as they were then! We drove 3 1/2 hours to eat there again and it hasn't changed a bit. That first bite took me back to my EKU days. Fantastic!!!❤❤
Come to Auburn Ca and visit OLD Town Pizza. My favorite pizza is salami with Ezra sauces and cheese🤗🙋♀️
Hi from Granite Bay, CA I’ll have to try old town. Right on the corner of Auburn Folsom Rd and Douglas is Dominick’s Restaurant and Deli. Their Pizza is amazing. They ship in water from New York to make their dough. Tom and Melisa love your channel and have made many of your recipes.
You made this look so much easier than I thought it would be.
Our favorite pizza was called the Mona Lisa from De Vinci's Pizza. They're in B'ham, Al. We haven't lived there since 1983 but they're still there. We live in MI now but we've never forgotten how delicious their pizza was.
I'll just have to try your recipe to see if I can come up with another favorite.😊
Caruso's Pizza..in San Diego, Calif..1968...best Italian made pizza I have ever had..nothing has ever compared!!
Are they still in business? San Diego is a city I've not visited but it's definitely on the list!
What a lovely tribute to
your Mom. I am fortunate to have my mothers and grandmothers recipe box with a ton of family recipes in their own handwriting. I cherish it dearly since they are no longer with us. Who doesn’t love 🍕!!!
Perhaps photo copy their recipes to create a recipe book to pass on to your children.
@@charlieann456 have done that thanks
My very favorite pizza is out on Hatteras Island, in Avon. It is Nino's, hands down the very best pizza I have ever eaten. The staff is wonderful as well.
Your pizza recipe looks very interesting. Bless your mom for her pizza and everything she has done.
Be sure to take a picture of recept & take picture of pizza and frame for memories.♥️🙏😉🐾
Next time your in Florida try Merlin’s pizza in Destin. So so yummy the best pizza I’ve ever had and their honey butter pizza is my fav ❤
Melissa, a great gift opportunity for Tom and generations to come. Framed in a way paper won't degrade and maybe a small pic of his mom or something...seems so special to him...
1000° degree Wood Fired Pizza, Mt. Summit, Indiana... it is delicious as are the breadsticks... you will not be disappointed!! 🍕
@NAT-rm9lu, I'm from New Castle (don't live there anymore though). Not heard of that pizza place but the next time I go home I'll have to look it up. As I put in the comments, Top Hat Two pizza (along with Jack's Donuts) is the best pizza in the world 😊... sure do miss them 😔 😊.
Hello Friends. Thank you for sharing your Mom's pizza recipe. You might want to consider either putting your recipe in a plastic cover to protect it or make some copies and use them instead of the original. I know how wonderful it is to have things in my Mamas handwriting - so precious, right?
I love how Tom doesn’t waste anything! I do the same thing because that’s what my Mama did. She scraped off every bowl, spoon, and beaters. Miss her so much.
My fave Pizza place is the (edge) crust!
I scrape everything! It’s what always taught and it’s a waste! So love he scrapes everything!
@@gaylarussell2336 I do religiously; plus a little rinse depending the sitch.
Collegeville Bakery in Collegeville PA. We’re from there although we now live in southern DE. The family that owns this place used to be our neighbors two doors down. Their place is exactly the kind of place you would love. Great pizza but oh so much more that you would love. When we go home , we always try to stop in to eat , take out or just say hi to our old neighbors. This is a very special place. Try their fried chicken cutlets, sausage peppers and onions and pulled pork too! We love your show!
@@alisonbonner9710 you’re the second recommendation in a row for PA restaurants. We need a road trip northeast!
I love veggie pizza with onions, bell pepper, black olives,spinach, and zucchini. I also like pepperoni or ground beef. We only have chain pizza places near us. We love to make our own. Thanks for sharing your special recipe. Love your channel!
Oh my yum 🤤
My favorite pizza came from my mom‘s kitchen! She had a great dough recipe. She made her own sauce, using tomato paste, water, garlic and oregano, She used smoked sausage and shredded cheddar cheddar cheese. Our family loves it to this day, and one of my nieces carries on the tradition. I live in Louisiana, or smoked sausage is a staple!
Other than my mom‘s pizza, I love the crust, pepperoni pizza and barbecue pizza, with barbecue sauce, chicken, or brisket and cheese.
What a lovely honoring of your mother... It looks like a yummy recipe.
It really is! We did enjoy it very much and we love making it even thinner as well. Really, there is not much pizza we don't like. Thanks so much for watching our channel. Hope you're staying warm on this cold winter's day.

Looks so good. I want to try making this. I don't like a dry pizza either so it's really frustrating when i order one with extra sauce but they NEVER put extra sauce so making a homemade one would be perfect for my family. Thank you kindly!
Back a few years ago, I had the absolute pleasure of eating pizza in Calgary Alberta. This is located in the community of Inglewood, nestled along the Bow River. The dough and sauce were all homemade. At that time, they sourced the best local ingredients. OMG, it was the best pizza I had ever eaten in my life! Inglewood is across the Bow River, just south of the Calgary Zoo. There is actually a connector bridge from the zoo to Inglewood. Inglewood also has a beautiful farm market with many sellers that hold the same heart as you and Melissa.
I love how you cherish your mom's recipe!
I enjoy your program and have tried a lot of your recipes. Thanks and keep on making these great recpies. Theres nothing better than recpies thats already been tried to know they are good
You showed me something tonight that I am definitely going to try. I am 74 years old and I have never seen the cheese on top of the toppings it was always the cheese put down and then the toppings I like the idea very much and I’m going to give it a try I am also going to put salt at the bottom of the pan I also like my sauce edge to edge just like my toast I want the butter edge to edge. Thank you
Round Table...Combo is my Fav
That pizza looked really good. Thank you for sharing it with us. As far as a favorite pizza place, I don’t really have one. The worst pizza I ever had I thought was still really good. I just love this stuff!
I like pepperoni, black olives, green peppers, and plenty of sauce. I like on the bottom of crust Parmesan cheese it gives the crust a great flavor. I love watching your videos and I have made several of your recipes. Chocolate pie, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie. I love that you're so precise on the way you cook and your presentation. I don't like watching videos where they waste food. Thank you
I have to say I just love when Tom has his first bite haha also I love how you have your mums old hand written recipes I have a few of those too I love them
I like the " Sweep the kitchen" pizza from Johnny's in Ruston. La. Second favorite is Billy's Italian in Vicksburg , Mississippi.
My favorite pizza is DiCarlos famous pizza in Glen Dale West Virginia.
The recipes my Mom gave me in her handwriting I store in my special cookbook. I made copies of them for my book I use and share on a regular basis. Cherish them forever ❤
She was left handed and the most beautiful handwtiting..
Best pizza for me was in a little place in Aguas Calientes, Peru, that sits just below Machu Picchu. It was baked in a wood fired oven. I don't even remember what it had on it, but it could've been the place and friends we were with that made it so special.
Having your Mother's hand written recipes are priceless ❤😊I love pepperoni pizza my favorite
We agree. It is nice to see her writing when we pull out her recipes. It's a lesson for us all. Thank you so much for watching our channel.
Love the tip about the salt on the bottom of the pizza pan. I don't eat a lot of pizza, due to dietary restrictions, but I love ham, hamburger, & bacon on my pizza. Love y'alls videos!!
I LOVE 🍕 it, But, me neither, had Heart Surgery in 2022 and have Diabetes.
I LOVE SOOO MANY OF THEIR RECIPES, BUT TOO MUCH BUTTER, SUGAR AND SOMETIMES THE CANNED BISCUITS FROM STORE.
LIMITED ON SALT, TOO 😕.
STILL, LOVE BEING AT THE TABLE HERE WITH TOM & MELISSA
😊💙🙏✝️🙌
I live in Suffolk County long Island NY and i grew up in Shirley NY. We had a fantastic pizzeria named Jaime's pizza the owner was frank and he and his son Joe ran the shop. It was very delicious 😋 food from the pizza to other special items. They sold it to someone else and they didn't keep the name. We miss them and the food. We live now in Patchogue Suffolk County long Island NY and we live on Waverly Avenue off exit 52 from sunrise highway south of sunrise highway we have a great place called Alvarez pizzeria. The guys who own it are very nice and very friendly. They are Spanish and Italian and they have some great food and recipes that remind me and my boyfriend of the food we had growing up.
Hello, I love homemade pizza it's lovely that you have your Mother's that is always precious. Also i like the way that Melissa asks questions that us viewers can't. ❤❤
Our favorite place here in Maine is Al's Pizza in Skowhegan, Maine so very very yummy!!!!!!
Mamas Pizza in Omaha, Nebraska......Best pizza ever!
Kathie says…Our favorite pizza is from WISE PIES in Terre Haute, Indiana. They make New York style pizza and we love it!! On my half I order: Tomato, Mushroom, Black Olives & extra cheese. My husband’s half is: Pork Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Pepper, Onion and easy on the cheese. Your Pizza looks delicious and I will make it soon!! I grew up eating my mom’s CHEF BOY ARDEE PIZZA ( box mix ) she used the sauce and put pinches of hamburger all over it, salt and pepper, and then sprinkled it with the cheese included in the box…that’s it!! AND I LOVED IT…STILL DO! I make that pizza now and then…the same way, and it is such a treat!!! They no longer include the cheese in the box so I use Kraft Parmesan-Romano mix (the Green Container). I have eaten that pizza since around 1953!!🥰
My favorite place to eat pizza is Pizza Hut. Or Pizza Place. They are both delicious.😊
UA-cam needed your show for the home cooks!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
The best pizza I have ever had was in Michigan. It's called Buccilli's , a family owned restaurant located in Clare, and Houghton Lake/Prudenville. Absolutely delicious!! My favorite topping is pepperoni, but I also like ham and pineapple. A funny story - my aunt and uncle were visiting Italy and ordered a pizza. They were asked what they wanted on it and they responded - plain. When the pizza arrived it was crust and sauce, no cheese!! Thanks for sharing and continued good health to both of you! ❤❤❤
I used to get their pizza, but at their original location in Almont, Michigan, which is still open. I used to go to school with their daughter, Penny, back in the 80's. We both went to Armada schools, which wasn't far from Almont. They also have amazing cakes! My mom always loved their cherry nut cake. We bought them for her birthday several times.
It's not every day that you see someone on UA-cam mention a local place, not to mention a great pizza place started by the family you know and have eaten many times! ❤
I guess the original was in Clare, I always thought it was Almont. That's the only one we knew of. Next time I'm in Clare for a visit to Coos & Donuts, I'm going to have to try that Buccillis location. I'd hope their pizza tastes the same as I remember at the Almont location. ❤
Love the handwritten recipes 💕 Pizza story……One of our first dates at Murray State was at a pizza place that is no longer there , it’s been 50+years. Anyway John ordered TunaFish pizza, I like tuna and I thought it would be okay. Well it WASN’T. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Not wanting to be so picky, I tolerated it as graceful as I could. After we had dated awhile I told him how I felt about the Tuna pizza. Now when we get pizza we sometimes refer to our Tuna pizza and share a special memory. Favorite pizza was CASSANOS, in the early70’s. In Dayton or Kettering Ohio. Thin & crispy and cut into pieces. (Not sliced in triangles) but pieces. Pepperoni. ❣️
Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you. Especially thanks to Melissa for the written copy of the recipes❣️❣️.
I would suggest having such a valued heirloom in a plastic notebook sleeve or have it laminated to keep it clean and preserved. Also make a copy (beforehand) of it should family members want one (especially in her own handwriting) ❤. Edit: it looks easy. And Delicious 🤤
Great idea! The fact that it's in her handwriting does indeed make it extra special.
I came here to say this.
You can also have it printed out in her writing on a breadboard. @@comesitatmytable9044
As I’m watching this I am eating your taco soup. Now I’m going to make pizza next. I love your recipes!
In the 70s i worked as a bookkeeper for a food processor. All day they made pizzas all day for commissary. They sold supplies to all the restaurants .This is before frozen pizzas were thr norm. Their pizza crust was premade from a company in Virginia. We rarely had anything with cooked tomatoes like pizza sauce as my daddy refused to eat it. All his kids and grands love pizzas.
Pepperoni sausage, if they have it spinach, onion's green bell peppers and I do also like a good Hawaiian pizza with just pineapple and ham. The only toppings I'm not crazy about is the mushrooms and the black olives or green olives.I don't eat them❤❤❤
A video I missed! I don't know how that happened. When I first discovered your channel I literally binge watched every video. I'm totally with you Tom on the less bread, more pizza. I never eat the crust unless it's stuffed crust. I always order the thin and crispy crust. I can't say I have a favorite topping because I pretty much love them all. Except pineapple but even that I don't hate. My favorite pizza is the meat lovers from Pizza Hut.
What a wonderful recipe. I used to work in a pizza restaurant and learned how to throw dough, which I truly miss doing. I will definitely try this dough. The pizza looks amazing.
We chose to make a simple pepperoni pizza that night, but the crust made it so good. We really did enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really love having you joining us at the table.
Hi Tom and Melissa, another suggestion is to sprinkle a bit of corn meal on the pan before placing the dough.
I have been baking bread and making pizza crusts for decades but I make my pizza dough the way Italian’s make their dough, water yeast salt and flour, no sugar or oil needed and the dough is beautiful and tastes delicious. Yeast only needs flour to munch on, no sugar needed, it just takes a little longer for your dough to rise. I put my dough after having kneaded it for 15 minutes by hand (which gives the pizza dough bubbles around the edge like a pizza from a wood fired pizza) an olive oil greased bowl, covered up, into the oven with the oven light on which speeds the rising process.
Ahhh Haaaaa
My favorite pizza is from White Cottage in Wood Dale , Illinois. Thin crust with sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers with extra cheese. Yummy.
I like putting cornmeal on my pizza pan, butI think I want to try your mom’s dough😊
Sir Pizza was our all time favourite pizza located in Titusville Florida in the 70s. 🎉They closed that location but kept open the one in Daytona Beach. Unfortunately the only one still in operation is in Palmetto Bay, Florida. They use cracked black pepper instead of salt under the crust. They ground their pepperoni, which insured pepperoni in each bite. I sure miss those pizzas…!
These days I love Jet's Detroit Style Pizza with supreme toppings ❤. I also like frozen Tombstone supreme lol better for my budget.
I have tons of recipes handwritten by my Mama and I love getting them out and reading them bc she included tips that would help me make the recipe better. I knew she had made it before and knew what makes it better. She’s no longer with us so I cherish those recipes even more.
My favorite place to eat pizza has been closed for years and years. We ate there when I was a child up until I was eleven yrs old. It was Shakey’s Pizza in Monroe, LA. Thirty minutes from Bastrop, LA, my home town. They made pizza in front of a window where we could stand and watch them and the pizza was fantastic! They also had a player piano. That was special. Our entire family would go once each week on Friday or Saturday. Usually Friday night bc my Daddy watched LSU football on Saturday. There was no way he was missing those games and I was with him on that. He instilled that love for his team in me even as a child!
Thanks for this pizza recipe. I’m going to try this pizza dough. But when I put my pizza together I gotta cut way back on that sauce! lol
Rotolo's in Columbus, Ohio. 50 years and still going strong.
I love watching your channel & all your recipes. Thank you so very much.
I grew up eating Freddy's pizzeria in Cicero Illinois. I just love their homemade pizza and Italian ice to go with it.
One other tip, as I do a lot of bakng of Italian bread. I purchase my active dry yeast at either sams club or costco as you can get 2 lbs for about the price of what you pay for the gar. I keep it in the freezer and also keep a gar in the fridge. Hope you two have a wonderful weekend
Have you ever had Detroit Style Pizza? I live in Michigan and have never had it. People say it is the best. I ordered the pan to make it. I just don’t to go to Detroit and have my car stolen again. There is a lot of good recipes for the Detroit Pizza. Your wife would love the way they dump the sauce on top of the pizza. Love your videos.
Buddy's pizza in Detroit area are the absolute best. Was rated the top 3 pizzas in America by The Food Network!
Oh, Buddys...yes indeed!
