And at the risk of initiating another Best Pizza in Phnom Penh thread, I'm told that Brooklyn's are pretty good, but I've never had one myself. Cambod used to swear by them and you know his affection for the stuff.

Nonsense, I've had real good pizzas here and in Thailand and I'm a pizza nazi. You want Durum wheat flour (the same you make pasta from) & the older your mother dough is, the better & more complex your crust will be. It'll get big air bubbles in it. You use tomato sauce not "tomato paste'. I've bought cans of San Marzano tomatoes here for a decent price. Real Mozzarella & Provolone are expensive I assume.

I'm no pizza aficionado, but to me if it tastes good, I'm happy.
I really don't like thick crusts, though (my atheist upbringing)
Stuffed olives, green peppers, olive oil, pimentos, good cold cuts, mozarella or feta cheese, Tabasco (I know, what can I say?) and a bottle of red

Crucial for the quality of the dough is the amount of gluten. Original Italian wheat flour has a higher amount of gluten and is difficult to get in Cambodia. It has also something to do with the amount of vitamins and minerals in the flour (taste). The wheat flour in Cambodia is normally the type 405 (standard wheat flour). Type 550, 812 or even 1050 would be much better, but is impossible to get in Cambodia.wackyjacky wrote:Nonsense, I've had real good pizzas here and in Thailand and I'm a pizza nazi.

Btw.......from tomato paste you can make tomato sauce . The size of the air bubbles has something to do with the amount of yeast (and the age of the dough).........and when you say "big air bubbles" then you are talking about American "pizzas"........these are no pizzas but cakes.
or maybe something like that ???........also nice.

The air bubbles will be soley in the crust and the best hard durum wheat in the world is Red Spring and it comes from Montana and Alberta. You'll notice those same bubbles in great artisanal breads like a a Pugliese as well. I've made plenty of pizzas and that's all we used (pasta too). We burned only olive wood at 800 F. Nobody uses tomato paste unless they've run out of sauce. Even diluted it has too much sugar. You can add a can to your sauce to increase it's intensity though.

I had the pizza at Rustic Lounge last night. Excellent quality with expensive toppings and a dough that managed to be both thin and chewy, unlike many in town which make them thin and the consistency of a hard biscuit.
Very affordable too, at around $6 for a spicy one with good pepperoni, anchovies, eggplant and jalapeños.
Their house red wine is a ridiculous $12.
It struck me that they have prices comparable to Street 172 just a stones throw away, but the quality and setting is infinitely better.
