Jessica’s parents put together a great get together in Huntington Beach this weekend. They had the Italian theme in full effect with Italian beers, antipasti, a giant Italian sub, and the pizza oven warmed and ready to go for our pizza creations.
There are more pictures on the flickr page that you can get to from this sites homepage.
The creative juices were flowing (The Italian beers helped!) as everyone tried all types of pizzas. Needless to say there were no leftovers in the pizza category and I think we went through at least a dozen pizzas. I tried a pizza that I have made before ( I call it the billy goat pizza), but it wasn’t too successful because the potatoes weren’t able to cook through because I didn’t account for the super high temps that are reachable with the wood fire pizza oven. With the high temps the pizzas are ready to pull out in 5 minutes… which is awesome except for sliced potatoes. The pizza is potataoes, leeks, bacon, goat cheese, and mozzarella. I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman I think, but I dont see the recipe on her site, so I will have to write it up and take pictures next time I make it. Its good stuff.
It was great to see everyone. We had a great time. I wanted to thank Jessica’s parents for hosting … and thanks to everyone for coming to send us off in style.
