Jim Lahey's Co. Is 'Pizza Hut Meets Blue Hill'

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 3, 2008 at 1:15 AM

The New York Times has a nice interview with Jim Lahey, of Co., the pizzeria he just might open later this month. It's "Pizza Hut," in that it will be reasonably priced and welcoming, he says, and "Blue Hill," in that it'll be ingredient-driven.

So the menu is still a draft. "We'll have six to eight annual pizzas — no, let's say five pizzas we'll do annually, then three seasonal pizzas," Mr. Lahey said, sounding like a student caught off-guard by a pop quiz. "But I'm sure that one of the seasonal pizzas will be topped with freshly shaved summer truffle."

The Times lets slip that the oven will be a "gas-fired refractory pizza oven."

That's a little disappointing,.I was hoping it would be more about preparation and less about toppings. Of course, he could be talking more about the tomatoes and cheese but the mention of truffles makes me think otherwise. I'm sure it will still be good since the crust should be tremendous.
