Una Pizza Napoletana SF Menu

@IlTavoloBambini:

"This isn't a bottle of wine. The ingredients aren't limited in quantity."

I think you miss Lance's point. The ingredients in wine? Grapes. Limited in quantity? I don't think so. Lance is talking about the skill of the maker. I have never had Mangieri's pizza, but he seems to be a person who really cares about what he serves. And if the people who have actually tried his pizza think his skill at what he does and the taste of the pizza is worth $20, then the comparison to wine lovers seems apt.

PS: I don't disagree that C could also be the answer!

Slice Poll: Have You Ever Labored in a Pizzeria?

I worked at a place called Aldo's Pizza in Fresno, starting in 1981. It was a small restaurant with an even smaller kitchen, but it was HUGELY popular. On a busy weekend night, we could go thru 8-9 batches of dough (each made with a 50 lb bag of flour). We used rubbermaid trash cans with the lids on (situated near the pizza oven) to rise the dough. We would weigh the dough, ball it up, run it thru the dough sheeter, then roll with a rolling pin, leaving the dough thicker toward the edge. Then we would edge it with the side of our hands in a scissor motion, top it, and then toss it in the bakers pride oven. there were 2 double decks, side by side. The restaurant was famous for it's 30" party pizza. Employees got their food at a discount, and as a starving college student, I ate pizza every day I worked!

'Slice' Poll: Fresh Mushrooms or Canned?

I hated mushrooms as a kid because all my mom used was canned. Grey, slimy, flavorless, chewy, weird texture, canned mushrooms. Ever get a chance to swim with the stingrays? and touch the skin? Canned mushrooms... As an adult the one must have ingredient on pizza: fresh mushrooms, usually sauteed for a bit!

Quote of the Day: Canned Mushrooms. Discuss

When I was a kid in the 1970s, my mom used canned mushrooms in many of her recipes. I wouldn't eat them, because they were flavorless, slimy, and an ugly gray. I am a mushroom fanatic. If I could only order only one topping on my pizza, it would be mushrooms. But if the pizzeria I was at only had canned mushrooms, I would go without. Canned mushrooms pale in comparison to the real thing...
