I thought it was about time to update everyone on my pizza search. Since my students now all know about my plight for pizza, I have received many invitations to their favorite pizza places. Some of them have been alright, but none spectacular. When I asked one student what her favorite pizza place was and she told me Pizza Hut, I thought, "Oh great, if that's the best here, I'm screwed." But last night the girls from the hotel had a lady's night
(oh, yes it's lady's night...) and we went to Jacobo's Pizza and it was SO GOOD! We had crab pizza, which was so yummy. So, for all of you who are coming to visit me, we will be dining at Jacobo's Pizza.
Also, on my birthday I decided to just go for it and make my dad's pizza. I bought all the ingredients and then solicited the help of some of my friends.
Pablo helped me make the dough:
Vanessa chopped the parsley for the sauce:
El Mono took over the rolling of the dough and the baking process...
... which was done in a covered pan:
Everyone was surprised when it actually turned out really delicious! It almost was exactly like at home. So, now I know that when you want to make a pizza badly enough, an oven is not necessary. Try it!
Great pics!
ReplyDeleteSweet! I am glad you didn't need an oven to make it work. Did you put oil or anything to prevent it from burning on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteLooks super yummy.
Hi Lani,
ReplyDeletePizza ingenuity runs through your veins, Lani Pickárd. But I really don't remember being there, helping you make the dough, and I'm sure I would have remembered flouring my own cheeks. Or did you do that to me? Anyway, I have no idea what you are talking about--I've never been to Cartagena, and that little boy in the picture looks nothing like me. He probably can't even swim across the bay in Puetro Ángel. So, overall, I give him an "F" in pizza dough making.
The real Pablo
