Last bite on earth:
i studied with bonci in rome last january and am going back this january too- ( i live in italy)
i am not a huge fan of pizza on the whole, but adore pizza a taglio( the by the slice roman style) and the pizza bianca, called schiacchiata in Tuscany.
Recently I also took a NY chef on a pizza tour- rome and naples-- to see for himself the different styles of each masters dough.
Bonci does a 80% hyrdation... and uses a 0 or 00 flour and at least a 12 rise.
but what is really fabulous is his creativity with toppings. what goes on before , during and after... that creates his signature pizza's. Also they disappear so fast- no way to get soggy as someone was suggesting.
