Being of Italian descent and raised in the pizza business I believe I know why their are differing reports coming out of DiFara's regarding what Dom puts on his pizzas. Growing up my grandfather would tell people different answers when he was asked what he put in his dough or his sauce. He considered his recipes family secrets and for some reason told lies rather than say "I don't want to tell you". He would get a kick out of telling these exaggerated elaborate recipes to people but my grandmother would always say "it's such a waste of food, he shouldn't lie". My grandmother was a larger woman by the way. God rest her soul. I think DiFara is doing a little bit of this. I mean the man doesn't allow anyone else to make his pies but he's going to tell everyone exactly what goes into his world class pies. I'm sorry but ish don't think so. I could be wrong. But, i think he has a little fun with people when they ask him what he puts in/on his pies as he prolly hears this question several times a day.
Italian Americans consider food recipes top secret stuff and i just don't think Dom ever tells the 100% truth to anyone. I've read a few different blogs of people supposedly talking to Dom about pizza and his answer to the oft asked question always seems to be different. No offense to any of the reporting done in this article nor to Dom DiFara or the writer of this article. I just think he's havin a lil' fun.
