To add to my earlier post, when I say it "doesn't look good" I mean that there is too much cheese for this pizza to be balanced from a taste standpoint. I don't care if the pizza is perfectly formed. Case in point: my favorite pizza is Pepe's in New Haven, CT, which makes assemetrical and oblonged shaped pizzas. But the above picture leads me to believe that the pizza is unbalanced and would thus not be a great pizza.

I like the idea, but the pizza itself looks like it needs some work.

The patty does look pretty dry.

I been eating PB&H sandwiches now for about a year, can't go back to jelly. Must be made with natural PB (I prefer Teddy's brand).

Initial Response: Action Burger

I went to Action burger. The burger I had was juicy. I thought it was damn good. I noticed the "smoke" and said aloud that I thought they used liquid smoke. It was great for the price and the neighborhood. I told some friends about it and when they tried to go it was closed down. Not sure if it's even back open. Hope so. The area could use a good burger (Dumont is around the corner. But service is slooow there.)

What is wrong with some people? I think this is pretty damn cool -- the family obviously cares about pizza (enough to build a brick oven) and the ingredients are as fresh as possible. It sounds like it would be a real pleasure to sit outside and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Yes, that one looks a little cheese heavy but no one is claiming that this is the next Bianco.

I never cease to be amazed by the odd things that get people worked up online.

@bobbob: "Too much cheese" is not enough in Wisconsin!

Too much cheese but the crust actually looks pretty good.

Ah, greenwashing... nothing fresh or "sustainable" can ever do wrong. Instead, let's just change the subject to Domino's, which has absolutely nothing to do with the thread.

No, pizza is a beautiful thing because it's delicious. These folks aren't claiming Verace Pizza Napoletana certification. They're providing incredibly fresh ingredients and making pizza. On a farm. In the Midwest.

If you want to complain about the bastardization of pizza, go look up Domino's. Not a family farm that provides what looks to be delicious pizza in an incredibly green and sustainable way.
