Seven...Enzo Coccia, Pizzeria La Notizia (Na)

-
One two three four five six...and seven.   Seven pizzas.  Seven pizza margheritas. Seven twists on a classic pizza, which according to Maestro pizza maker Enzo Coccia, is a combination of tomatoes and formaggio filante...stringy cheese such as mozzarella, fior di latte or provola..
Enzo Coccia
Ci divertiamo...Ci giochiamo, Enzo announced to a full house at his Pizzeria La Notizia last week. Let's have some fun...let's play around...
Let's go...

Pizza number one...
piennolo tomatoes and bufala mozzarella cheese

Pizza number two...
corbarino tomatoes and provola di bufala cheese
Pizza number three...
daterino tomatoes and fior di latte
Pizza number four...
grilled cherry tomatoes with provola (made from cows milk)
Pizza number five...
dried san marzano tomatoes with scarmozetta di agerola cheese
Pizza number six...
pachino tomatoes with stracciata di andria
and last but not least...pizza number seven...
peeled san marzano dop tomatoes with fior di latte (made from latte nobile)
I tried them all with the almost impossible task of picking a 'favorite'.  The provola on number 2?  What about the addition of chopped basil, parsley and garlic added to pizza number 4? Or the premiere of fir di latte made with sweet rich latte nobile in pizza number 7? On some pizzas, Coccia sprinkled pecorino cheese, on other parmeggiano reggiano...others nothing at all.

One two thre four five six ...and seven.  Coccia wanted to play...and we did just that.

Welcome to My Home - Lunch at Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa with Chef Peppe Guida

I've lost count as to how many times I have seen Chef Peppe Guida since we met for the first time last April .  On every occasion, from dinners at Pastifcio dei Campi to visits to Marina Yacht Club , we always ended our conversations agreeing that I needed to visit him a casa sua ...his home, his restaurant, Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa in Vico Equense (Na). I chose a Saturday afternoon to visit the chef's home, which really was just that...a home.  A renovated house dating back to the 17th century.  Chef Guida took me on a little tour pointing out where the pizza oven used to be, for example, which now is a small corner intimate dining room/wine cellar.  My eyes, however, were drawn to the family room where among antique furniture and plants hanging from the ceiling was a comfortable couch. I sat down for a while to relax,  discuss the latest news from Napoli, and talk about Guida's menu over a glass of spumante and a soft warm slice of casatiello with walnuts.  M

La Scarpetta, Pepe in Grani, Caiazzo (Ce)

Scarpetta. ..the word alone makes one's taste buds jump for joy.  Scarpetta, little shoe, is an act of love at the end of a meal. A show of respect and admiration performedw ith a piece of great bread and the remnants of a fantastic sauce left on the plate at the end a a course. That is the spirit behind Franco Pepe' s latest pizza - La Scarpetta.   Pepe's soft pizza dough paired with an amazing ragu tomato sauce.  For the sauce, Pepe chose three tomato varieties and slow cooked them so that they fused together to make an incredible tomato sauce. This sauce is not cooked in the oven with the pizza dough, but added on top afterwards.  Then a couple of shavings of Grana Padano cheese (aged 12 and 24 months) Just one more taste of happiness courtesy of Pepe in Grani.. .
