Join the conversation! Pizza Quest is certainly about pizza, but it’s so much more! It’s an engaging celebration of artisanship in all its shapes and forms. Award winning author Peter Reinhart interviews many of the greatest pizza makers in the world, as well as growers, cheese makers, millers, and food producers of all kinds who all who have one thing in common: an unquenchable drive to experience and express the highest level of excellence in their work, and to share it with their friends, family, and customers. Peter explores the varying journeys that led them to achieve prominence in their fields, and also offers listeners demonstrations of their craft, whether making their signature pizzas, or taking us on an in-depth tasting tour of their olive oil, tomatoes, cheeses, and toppings. As Peter is fond of saying, “It’s more about the quest than the pizza, and the quest never ends.”
Another Paulie Gee success spinoff, Mike Kurtz was making pizzas for Paulie in Greenpoint when he showed off the hot honey he'd been developing at home and, before you could blink, Paulie started using it on some of the pizzas, and Mike ramped up production. Now, a few years later, Mike's Hot Honey is everywhere. Hear the whole success story straight from Mike.
