Do you use a pizza stone? Putting a heavy stone in your oven helps stabilize its temperature, retain its heat, and transfer it more efficiently and directly to your pizza. I had a pizza stone a long time ago, but broke it rather promptly, and ever since then I've baked my pizzas directly on an oven rack. Well, that's all changed now, as I bought one huge hulking chunk of thermal mass, The Baking Steel, and it's making my pizzas that much better. More

Jim Lahey's no-knead bread recipe launched a phenomenon when Mark Bittman first wrote about it in the The New York Times in 2006. It only makes sense then that Lahey would turn his bread-baking skills to pizza, specifically to Roman and Naples-style pizza—those thin and crispy disc-shaped pies, slightly charred at the edges, and topped with incredibly simple, delicious ingredients. His latest book shows that it's possible (and in fact, easy!) to make this kind of pizza at home. And, of course, it all starts with a no-knead pizza crust.

Pizza gets a bad rap health-wise. And understandably so, I suppose. There's the oil and the cheese and the oh-so-delicious dough. But strangely I rarely feel guilty about the toppings themselves: it's usually the white-flour dough that leaves me feeling like I could've done better. But then, there are whole-grain pizza dough recipes, and some really fine ones indeed. More

There's a remarkable little pizza joint near my house. They have a big wood-fired oven crammed into a restaurant the size of a walk-in closet. There are three tables pushed against the wall, and a few seats at the bar, pressed up beside that blazing oven. Oh, and you enter through a convenience store, sidling past Diet Coke and bubblegum into this dimly-lit, miniature pizza parlor. But its size is in opposite proportion to its imagination and personality: this place turns out amazingly good pizza, including one that had me do a double-take, then fall promptly in love. More
