Pizza
To Go
Gloria asks:
We need to get take-out pizza now and then, because sometimes it's just the thing, and the kids like it. But there's no way to get it home before it starts getting cold and the crust starts getting soggy. Any ideas. Tom sez: This is a little more trouble than normal, but I think it's worth it. Many (but not all) pizzerias will be happy to sell you an unbaked pizza. They do everything they ordinarily do, but instead of putting it in an oven they put it into a box. Take it home, have the oven preheated to 450 degrees (preferably with a pizza stone in place), and slide the thing right out of the box onto the hot stone or pan. It'll take ten or fifteen minutes, but it will be a lot better--and you'll save most of the work of making a pizza from scratch. Revised 3/10/08 Copyright © 2008 Tom Fitzmorris.
