Another Pizza Quest Golden Oldie: Tinkering With Your Dough

08/25/24 • 61 min

Welcome back to Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart. We wrap up our summer season of Golden Oldies with a special replay of our panel session at the Atlantic City Pizza and Pasta Expo Northeast, recorded October, 2022. The episode is entitled “Tinkering With Your Dough.” Peter and guest panelist and pizza master John Gutekanst of Avalanche Pizza in Athens, OH, field questions from an audience of over 100 professional and amateur pizza makers from across the nation. We expect you will find some questions of your own answered in this entertaining and informative session, and you will definitely learn some things about dough that you didn’t know before.

Next week we'll kick off the new Fall season of Pizza Quest with all new episodes, so stay tuned. Remember, it's more about the Quest than it is about the pizza, and the Quest never ends....

Another Pizza Quest Golden Oldie: The Ooni Pizza Project

Back in September we aired this show with guest Scott Deley. Here's what we said back then: There is no question that Ooni Ovens have taken the world by storm, even eclipsing their worthy competitor RoccBox, which had a nice head start. How have they done it? Fortunately, Scott Deley, who just published a book called The Ooni Pizza Project, joins the show to tell us all about it. The book is loaded with inspiring recipes created by Scott (but inspired by his many pizza heroes), who has been on his own personal pizza quest for quite a while. He is now an official Ooni Brand Ambassador, posting regularly on social media to help establish Ooni as a brand to reckon with. In our conversation, Scott tells us all about what being a “Brand Ambassador” means, and gives us an insight into how Ooni managed to break from the pack and become a global marketing phenomenon.

World Champion Siler Chapman Tells Us How He Did It

Siler Chapman, owner of King of Fire Pizza in Charlotte, NC, was already a world champion long before he went to Naples this year. Nevertheless, he earned the title back when he was a 20-something kid obsessed with acrobatic dough tossing and showmanship as part of the US Pizza Champions Team. Now, twenty-two years later, he's a serious business operator and a mentor to a new generation of up and comers, and he wants to be known for his pizzas and not just his acrobatic skills. Hear all about how he added a new gold medal to his trophy case at this year's Caputo Cup Championship, and how he's teaching new operators the secrets for running a successful pizza business via the Perfecting Pizza training program that he and Tony Gemignani and other mentors have created.
