Save the Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025

We’re heading to Prospect Heights for our next NYC Pizza Crawl—and you’re invited! 🍕✨

Tucked between bustling Crown Heights and vibrant Park Slope, Prospect Heights is a Brooklyn neighborhood that blends old-school charm with modern flair. It’s home to tree-lined streets, iconic brownstones, a thriving local food scene—and yes, some seriously amazing pizza spots.

On this crawl, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring a curated lineup of pizzerias that are each putting their own unique spin on the New York slice. Expect a mix of neighborhood staples and award winning pizza slingers serving pies you’ll be dreaming about long after the crawl ends.

If you’ve crawled with us before, you know the drill: good food, great people, and a casual vibe that makes it easy to meet new friends. If you’re new—welcome! Just bring an appetite and a few bucks for slices, and we’ll handle the rest.

RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/uyYaPmZTw3RNPbc5LTIY

What is ‘NYC Pizza Crawl?

We’re bringing people together from all backgrounds through a shared love of pizza. Each month, we explore a different NYC neighborhood, sampling slices from four standout pizza shops. But this isn’t just about the food—it’s about connection, conversation, and community.

What sets our crawls apart is the focus on building new friendships along the way. As you savor some of the city’s best slices, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to engage in great conversations and get to know your fellow pizza adventurers. After all, the heart of this group isn’t just pizza—it’s the people who come together to enjoy it.

Looking for Feedback Tricks for thin sauce and dough?

Post image

One of the Iron Laws of Pizza I've discovered in my many years of home baking is: dough and sauce can never be too thin. But my crust is always about twice as thick as I want it, and it's similar with sauce.

Any pointers?

Hand-sliced pepperoni, (my own) tomato sauce, fresh grated Parmesan, fresh shredded mozz and provolone, little spiral of EVOO. Dried parsley for looks after bake. Tried Galbani Whole Milk Low Moisture mozzarella for the first time. Liked the results. Twice the cost of my previous mozz. Mixed feelings if it's twice as good. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

OUTDOOR OVEN Semi-clone of Krispy Pizza's Vodka & Pesto pie

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

I've been getting Krispy Pizza videos on my feed on both Instagram and YouTube for like the last 3-4 months, and finally decided I was going to try and replicate one of their round vodka & pesto pies. The one in their video that I saw actually had pepperoni too, but I didn't have any on hand so I left it off. This was really good! I think I used too much pesto (Kirkland brand), and it wasn't creamy like theirs claims to be, but it was still delicious. My dough ball opened up *too* easily and so I didn't have success in rolling the outer rim in sesame seeds like they do, but the section that had them was amazing, highly recommended. I par baked the crust with the vodka sauce on first for about 5 minutes, then topped with a combo of thinly hand-sliced fresh mozzarella and some Tillamook Whole Milk Low-Moisture mozz slices when the fresh stuff ran out. Then some more dollops of vodka sauce and some lines of pesto, then back in my Ooni Koda 2 Max for another 4-ish minutes. During the par-bake, I had pre-heated the oven at around 550 f for almost 90 minutes, then after I took it out I cranked the heat to 750 while I topped it with the rest. Did my usual kill the flames entirely for 1/2 of the bake after the first 30 seconds, but I think it may have been a little too hot the second time around, I would have preferred the bake time be slightly longer on the second half. But overall not too big of a deal.

Dough was 63% hydration, mostly All Trumps Bleached & Bromated flour mixed with 5% rye flour, .25% instant yeast, 2% salt, 1.6% sugar and 1% olive oil. Cold fermented 72 hours and room-temp for 1-1.5 hours before stretching and par-baking.

This is my 3rd time making my own pizza dough, how did I do? Any tips? I know it's a pretty small pizza but thats just so that I could make 2 different pizzas. I use a wood oven. I can also give the recipe if needed for tips.
