ya know Little Italy around Belmont Ave. in the Bronx, "Mama Mia!" My first taste of Sicilian style pizza was at Enzo's under the "el" on Westchester Ave. and Castle Hill Road in 1963. At 25¢ a slice it was almost double what a standard slice cost and a delight that no one I knew had ever been exposed to before. We dispensed with the JHS lunch on Wednesdays and hightailed it there. As we weren't allowed to leave the school building and fenced in yard, we had to wait for the final bell to get our fill.
Now Mama's Too and Upside fills that void, but they surely aren't a school bus ride from me anymore!
I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. As we, speak, There is a two day cold ferment dough ball warming on the counter. Soon to be par-baked, then frozen to replace the Sicilian base I used yesterday. I think I was able to talk up and sell one pie (so far) today. I am hoping to get a better response to my pizzeria format ordering, rather than the 24 hr. In advance format I had been using. I will have the oven piping hot for a 12:00 PM opening. Three NY style skins and the one Sicilian base up for grabs! I can always re- ball and freeze the dough balls and the par-baked base if today's sale is a bust.
