Ciao Speakies:
Rosemary and I have been discussing Sicilian Pizza all week long. Last Sunday we tried a pizza place in Clermont, Florida. Roe being the bold one of the family walked right in and asked him if he made the best pizza in Clermont, now of course his answer was yes. The two began the talk about making us a Sicilian pie. The pie man said he was originally from Brooklyn and knew about a grandmother pie. Now a true Sicilian pizza is made with the good mozzarella cheese placed over the dough first allowing it to melt into the dough, than the sweet tomato sauce and topped with Romano cheese. My mouth was watering so we ordered one.
Sitting there in anticipation sipping our soda and ice tea, thinking “Are we really going to have a true Sicilian pie?” Out it came looking good and smelling great. Have to admit the pie was light; sauce was good not as sweet as the ones in Jersey. The crust had a nice crunch and the anchovies made the topping special. It passed our test but we still will be in search of the perfect Sicilian pie in Florida. Back in Jersey the best Sicilian pie was at Nino’s Pizzeria in Trenton, NJ on Chambers Street, also the home of the best cheese steak and fries.
If you are in the Clermont area the name of the pizza place is Stromboli’s, check out the web for the address. Until then may your dreams be of pizzas.
