there I'm a way trophy to come in the
mail for you tell me about this this is
really cool because we see a lot of
trucks but this one actually if we zoom
in there has a real wood-fired oven yeah
it's um it's a real wood part oven oven
is a valerie yoni oven made in Italy
assembled in Healdsburg California all
of our pies are made with double-o
flower which is Neapolitan inspired
influence and they take two minutes in
the oven what's your what's your
background to be able to make this
happen
well my before this I worked in new
Australian Francisco from one star to
three star Michelin restaurants okay and
honestly the inspiring moment was when I
ate at the French Laundry which is
supposed to be the world's most
inspiring meal and I realize what can I
have every single day Pizza you know so
that's great so Jerry tell me which is
your favorite
hi because I know that you have worked
very very hard taste testing it's a
tough job somebody had to do it well
you'll laugh but I like a classic simple
I just do pepperoni when it's me but at
the size of those pepperonis I'm gonna
put my hand there for perspective you
know what I love about them too is they
get nice and crispy around the outside
and something uh oh look there's Nikki
there you go
Nikki came in there's something about
just that that wood fired fresh pizza
fresh out of the oven what else do we
have here so right here is like he was
saying it's a traditional Neapolitan
Spira pizza mr. margarita the pepperoni
and the Bianca pizza with his all-white
based pizza so that some mozzarella
cheese melted down with roasted garlic
Sicilian oregano and finished with fresh
lemon zest and right here we have a
romantica as the name of this pizza so
it's a cheese based pizza with cherry
tomatoes finished with balsamic glaze
and a fresh arugula on top I like that
one that one looks really different it
hasn't offered sweet sour tangy 'no stew
it good thank you and you're right I
mean I'm just a traditional pepperoni
