AMAZING
1st LARGE ORIGINAL CRUST THE WORKS PIZZA
Papa Johns Pizza, Urbana
BRIEF: “Canadian Bacon, Green Peppers, Spicy Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions, Pepperoni, Black Olives with Original Sauce. SOOT’S TAKE: They were having a special on their large speciality pizzas. One of the most enjoyable pizzas I’ve had in a long, long time (love their garlic dipping sauce!) and such a good deal at $14.99.
REALLY GOOD
2nd SMOKED DUCK PIZZA
B Lab Verve Suite, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Smoked duck slices, arugula, mango & Brie cheese.” SOOT’S TAKE: Been eyeing this for a while and I don’t know why I waited so long to try it. It is absolutely delicious and it certainly won’t be the last one I order from here on out.
3rd AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN’S CLASSIC SICILIAN PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Pizza Day! It’s not the customary round, skinny kind with the puffy rim because it turns out Palermo peeps do (or used to do?) theirs like focaccia. Love the spongy, creamy crumb (hey semolina!), love the umami-infused, oniony tomato sauce (hey tomato, hey anchovies!), love that it allowed me to dispose of some leftover provolone, and love that I don’t need no tossing talent approximating that of any self-respecting Neapolitan pizzaiolo to pull off this approximation of sfincione. Now, say “pizza!”
4th NYT COOKING’S FUGAZZETA | CHEESE- STUFFED PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy Cheese Lovers Day and as we near the end of pizza week, I am reminded that I missed out on fugazetta when I mistakenly ordered myself a fugazza (a lite version of the former) at Pizzería Güerrín and found it underwhelming more than half a decade ago. So I remedied that today with this “stuffed with an obscene dose of queso mozzarella y provolone” version. Happy end of National Pizza Week!
5th HONEY TRUFFLE BELLA
myPizzaLab @ Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Honey (lite) creamed mushrooms, sautéed mushrooms, truffle paste, mozzarella.” SOOT’S TAKE: At 7”, the tinsiest pizza I’ve encountered maybe ever, but the maybe perfect size for a lite meal.
6th THE ELEMENTS OF PIZZA’S HAWAIIAN PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Honoring the legendary creator of this marvelous melting pot of cultures pizza this International Hawaiian Pizza Day with this homemade one from Ken Forkish’s “The Elements of Pizza.” With no apologies to pizza puritans.
7th THE ACAPULCO GOLD CROWN(ISH) PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Pizza Day! I didn’t quite get this right because I didn’t dry the cheddar overnight but it’s still delicious and I would repeat it just to eat it again, if not to finally attain that crispy frico crown.
8th PIZZA QUEST’S PISTACHIO PESTO NEAPOLITAN PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Another great opportunity to use some ricotta from my first homemade batch and I really like this Neapolitan-inspired flavor composition from Peter Reinhart’s “Pizza Quest.” It’s got everything I like: a delish pesto of toasted pistachios and garlic confit, melty mozzarella, burrata, and of course, dollops of I-still-can’t-believe-I-made-this ricotta. I’ll admit the dough has seen better days but perhaps apropos for the last day of Pizza Week?
9th PIZZA QUEST’S THE ULTIMATE WHITE PIE WITH GARLIC CONFIT
Soots Cook Nook, Private
In honor of National Pizza Week, the ricotta I made at home, and the half-prized burrata I scored, the Ultimate White Pie to embody these wins.
10th NATIONAL PIZZA WITH THE WORKS EXCEPT ANCHOVIES
Soots Cook Nook, Private
It’s National Pizza with the Works except Anchovies Day! Let’s see what we got here: a heaping helping of pepperoni, Canadian bacon, spicy Italian sausage, fresh-cut onions, crisp green peppers, shrooms, ripe black olives, parmesan, mozzarella. Just not anchovies, y’all.
11th SKILLET(🤔) SAUSAGE AND CHEESE PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Sausage Pizza Day! This one was meant to be cooked stove top in a skillet to jump start the crust browning before transferring to the oven to finish. But I… 1. Didn’t have a large enough oven-proof skillet to pull it off. 2. Ain’t got time or the inclination to cook this 2 ways. It still came out crispy crunchy (the desired outcome for the stove-top method) on my pizza pan, so I’d say it was a success! The no-cook tomato sauce was super easy, super fuss-free too!
12th COOK’S COUNTRY’S CHICAGO THIN-CRUST PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
This brings me back to my Red Baron days but I want to think this is a lot better 😆 P.S. I will probably never make deep dish 😂
13th PIZZA QUATTRO FORMAGGI CON BASILICO DI SOOTY
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Kitchen sink pizza of leftover dough and cheeses: mozzarella (fresh and low-moisture), Parmigiano Reggiano and fontina and freshly pinched basil. Yay to more fridge space!
14th NYT COOKING’S CHEESY PAN PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
I may be a year late to the pan pizza trend but that’s better than never because this is definitely getting repeated! The airy, crackly, brown-edged crumb is pretty phenomenal.
15th MASCARPONE AND MUSHROOM PIZZA WITH CARAMELISED ONION
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Pizza is such a great vehicle for kitchen sink recipes with leftover ingredients. In this case, it was leftover mascarpone. Also, I discovered a lower maintenance sourdough pizza crust with @Jaxler12’s recipe, so that’s two birds for ya.
16th THE PERFECT LOAF’S SOURDOUGH PIZZA - KITCHEN SINK STYLEZ V2
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Another quick and easy lunch from the sourdough pizza dough repository.
17th THE PERFECT LOAF’S SOURDOUGH PIZZA - KITCHEN SINK STYLEZ
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Pizza is such a great vehicle for kitchen sink recipes. In this case, it was leftover mascarpone. Also, I discovered a lower maintenance sourdough pizza crust, so that’s two birds for ya.
21st SOOTY’S KITCHEN SINK PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Whoever knew the pizza I’d create out of leftovers would be the best one I’ve made so far?!?
22nd 7
Plank Sourdough Pizza - Faber Drive, Singapore
“tomato sauce, mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms with onion and mirin, flaked parmesan and truffle oil.” #sourdoughpizzagoals
23rd CHEESE PLANK PIZZA
Plank Sourdough Pizza - Faber Drive, Singapore
“caramelised garlic crème fraîche, blue cheese, fig jam, caramelised walnuts, maple syrup, thyme and lemon zest.” I was excited to try this and it delivered.
24th PIZZA CAPRICCIOSA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
I’m glad I finally got rid of that can of artichokes.
25th AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN’S THIN-CRUST PIZZA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Yeah this is a pizza recipe I plan on repeating into perpetuity. Solid!
26th NYT COOKING’S PIZZA MARGHERITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
On this day, I shall travel remotely to the Mediterranean. It begins with a Pizza Margherita using Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce, fresh basil, as much burrata as I’d like and Roberta’s Pizza Dough which I’ve been meaning to try for a long while. Buon appetito!
27th BREAD AHEAD’S SOURDOUGH PIZZA MARGHERITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Oops 🙊 I re-shaped the dough after proofing and I didn’t add extra flour for using a liquid starter. But it’s still the best pizza I’ve ever made. 🍕 Also, Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce is a winner on this pie. #daliclock #pizzadinapoli
28th PIZZA MARGHERITA
B Lab Verve Suite, Kuala Lumpur
Wasn’t too hungry tonight but this was a great way to end the day.
28th PIZZA MARGHERITA
B Lab Verve Suite, Kuala Lumpur
Nothing like coming back to B-Lab’s thin crust pizzas. I have always enjoyed their pizza margherita and appreciate that they have consistently delivered. Perfect comfort food for what is to come.
29th NAPOLITANA CHICKEN
Domino's Holland, Singapore
Onions, Green Peppers, Ripe Olives, Chicken Sausages and Mozzarella Cheese on Napolitana Chicken atop New York Crust.
