What kind or brand of pepperoni do you use?
This came from Ezzo Sausage Co. They are a wholesaler. I have a friend in the pizza biz and I got it through him.
They make great pepperoni, both for flavor and cupping effect

Ezzo is superb pepperoni and they are located in Columbus. I once emailed them to find out where I could buy it at retail and they quickly responded with a recommendation (specialty food stores).
My pizza twist on the lox bagel. We swapped cream cheese for herbed crème fraiche to make it extra fancy : )

Very interesting, and Iâm thinking likely interesting in a good way â did you like how it turned out? Was anything other than the crust cooked?

It was very good and all ingredients were incorporated post-oven with the exception of everything seasoning. That was added in the last 30 seconds of the bake after quickly egg washing the crust. In my first attempt I had the seasoning on the crust for the entire bake and it burnt to crisps.
If I were to change one thing it would be using lox with a deeper smoke flavor to stand up to the herbed crème fraiche, red onion, dill and capers. It was overpowered.

Always a big hit at work. I use pitas and toast in the oven Mix capers, lemon peel and red onion with the cream cheese. Little fresh dill as well and on top.
Tip let the pitas cool before hitting them with the cream cheese mixture.

So we ordered Di Fara pizza from a place called Wonder.
It has food from multiple restataurants . I guess they get the items partially cooked , and finish it per order.
. Tasted ok. Probably would be better if hotter.
This is the real deal from last fall.
Wonder is a âfood hallâ owned by a private equity company that licenses names from famous places and chefs, but the food is just frozen crap prepared in a central kitchen and has nothing in common with the originals other than the name

Wonders first foray was in our vicinity where they had a fleet of food trucks that would come to your house and make the dinner in the truck for you. They advertised as big name chefs recipes. Never understood how they planned to make money as it was a limited window of maybe 5-8 pm, how many meals could one truck actually serve in that time frame. You could drive around and see a fleet of them parked in various lots waiting for orders.
they moved to store fronts as the mobile kitchen did not work.

They have exploded here in Philly and the suburbs. There is one in every neighborhood now and they are always empty. I ate a salad there once and it was serviceable but I wouldnât get my hopes up for much more than that. I see these lasting a couple years tops before the PE people put their money into something else that appears to be profitable
