Johnny's Spicy Pizza Seasoning

$12.88

Johnny and Elle are masters of seasonings, and pizza is a specialty. Johnny authored The Chicago Pizza Cookbook available here on Amazon, after over a decade of home experiments, note taking, adaptations, making and remaking pizzas to find the perfect fat and flour types for certain desired outcomes. Along this journey, Johnny perfected his Spicy Pizza Seasoning, a flavor profile familiar to Chicago tavern pizzas.

When you walk into a pizza joint and smell that sweet and bitter burnt flour smell coming off the decks of the pizza ovens, that’s one of the smells of Johnny’s childhood. This blend of seasonings is a combination, in perfect balance, to add to your favorite local pizza, frozen, or homemade pizzas. Simply mix in with quality crushed tomatoes for a marinara style dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks, breadsticks, garlic bread, et cetera. Mix in olive oil with some fresh grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and dip some quality, crusty, French or Italian bread for a nice appetizer.

Flavors and Aromatics of Note: Herbaceous, oregano, basil, earthy.

Uses: Dash over any cooked pizza, mix with tomatoes to make pizza sauce for homemade pizza, mix with olive oil and fresh grated parmesan or romano cheeses and dip quality French or Italian bread, dash over your morning eggs, on garlic bread for extra zip.

Ingredients: granulated garlic, granulated onion, sea salt (sea salt, magnesium carbonate), oregano, red pepper flakes, basil.

Growing up in the Chicagoland area, Johnny and Elle are experienced in pizza. Even more experienced, Johnny spent over a decade experimenting in the home kitchen making Chicago pizzas, culminating with authoring The Chicago Pizza Cookbook available here on Amazon.

Every visit to a local pizza joint was met with the smell of burnt flour on the oven decks being wisped into the air each time the oven door opens to put in, or take out, a pizza. This smell is unique to stone baked pizzas, where the pizza is cooked directly on the decks of the ovens. If you’ve had the pleasure of taking in this aroma, it takes you back to childhood dinners with family, with celebrations of graduating school or birthdays, a stop after little league baseball, a special moment in time.

Johnny’s Pizza Seasoning is a perfected blend of seasonings that enhances homemade, take out, and frozen pizzas. Mix with crushed tomatoes for a simple dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks or garlic bread, even a popular addition to morning eggs or mixed with olive oil and some fresh grated parmesan to dip some crusty Italian bread in.
