Super Bowl Pizza!

So, the Super Bowl was Sunday. I did not care for either of the teams, mostly the Packers because they beat my Bears, but we had people over any way to celebrate a national holiday in America. And since it was a special occasion, Chuck busted out Grandpa Chuck's famous pizza recipe. I was privileged enough to be the first person outside the family to learn the recipe from Grandpa Chuck and write it down. Now, Charlie and I make pizza for people and it is delicious. Hopefully, we'll make pizza with our child, and keep passing it down. Maybe we'll even have our own little pizzeria. Dreams, they're all big dreams that take time though.

It's not only about the dough, and how it's prepared, but it's about the sauce. Charlie makes fantastic pizza sauce. Just like his spaghetti sauce, his pizza is phenomenal. And yes, there is a huge difference between pizza and spaghetti sauce, so just don't go buy a jar of marinara. It's a disgrace to Italians.

We also attempted to make some bread sticks from the leftover dough. They were okay once you dipped them in some sauce. Next time we need to flavor the dough a little more to give it something special.

I also made wings to accompany the pizza, but nothing special about that. I still haven't made my own wing sauce yet. I still buy the bottled kind, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's all pretty much the same. You deep fry some wings, toss 'em in some sauce and keep them warm in the oven. And you must serve with Bleu Cheese. Ranch is just evil. But I didn't get any snapshots of those. But I did get the final product of the pizza.

Looking at the pictures still makes my mouth water. One pizza was half pepperoni, sausage, and hot cappy. The other half was mushrooms, black olives, red bell pepper, zucchini, sausage, pepperoni, and hot cappy. The last big pizza was pepperoni, salami, hot cappy and black olives (this is my favorite pizza... it is like a little piece of Italian heaven in your mouth....mmmmm....).

With the exception of the Packers winning the Super Bowl, it was a pretty good night. I drank some beer, ate some pizza and wings, and watched football with some family and friends, and had a much deserved night with Chuck. Now I'm wondering when we'll use the extra pizza shell and make another pizza. MMM.....
