F Sally's and Pepe's. Zuppardi's rules. The best pizza without the BS attitude. Get over yourselves already. For us, it's Zuppardi's for a fresh shucked clam pie and a sausage pie. When they are closed we head over to Modern for yet another great pie without attitude.

Here you go: No kneading, real easy, great taste and texture.

3 cups water
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup finely ground yellow semolina
1 cup rolled oats
3.5 cups of all purpose white flour(may use part bread flour for this)
2 tablespoons salt
two packets dry yeast

everything in together at once, mix with dough hook until all dry ingredients are moistened equally, or just use wet hands.

Place in large covered tub with cover ajar.
Allow to rise until doubled in bulk.
May use immediately or place in regfrigerator for up to 14 days.

To use, sprinkle top of dough with a little flour, grab a fist full, pull it up and cut the fist full free with a serrated knife. A lot easier when dough is cold.

Working with this might take some practice, and there are a lot of techniques, but the high moisture makes for an excellent crust.

Here's a pie we made this weekend, fresh tomato, aged sharp provolone, diced sopressata and pine nuts: http://t.co/AE9go1A

We tried Zuppardi's a couple of years ago based on a reccomendation from this website. We usually try to stop at Sally's on our way back to Philadelphia from Maine, but the line and hype is a bit much, so we made the SMART MOVE of finding our way to Zuppardi's.

The people were real, no attitude except pride on their pizza. They made us some of the best pizza we've ever had, easily as good as Sally's(which we do love) with that amazing sausage. They even put the Phillies game on for us!

Cannot wait to get there again.

This sounds great, and there is a place just down the road in Philly which has a unique take on Indian street food and Indian pizzas. Here is a link to a brief description:

And a link to their menu:

Very interesting, exciting and something new to us country folk down here in Philly.

I don't disagree, having never had Pepe's, and finding Sally's good, but not the best and certainly not worth the ridiculous wait.

HOWEVER, I would like to say how much we enjoyed Zuppardi's Apizza in West Haven, just a short drive from the over hyped places. They make wonderful pizza in a tradditional pizza oven, and they make some of the best pizza I've ever had. They also were so friendly and appreciative of our business. They had no attitude other than super friendly. Toppings were excellent.
