One Last Chance to Get a Mangieri Pizza in the NYC-ish Area

This comes to us by way of someone who was shilling in the comments, but it's some hot info so I'm going to take the bait and highlight it ...

Tonight in Rumson, New Jersey, for one night only, famed and former UPN pizzamaker Anthony Mangieri will be making pizza one last time on the East Coast before heading to San Francisco.

Mangieri has been consulting for Undici Taverna Rustica in this tony Jersey Shore borough (The Boss lives there), supposedly going as far as "tearing apart their kitchen and building an authentic, Naples-style, wood-fired oven."

Mangieri will be on the sticks tonight (Wednesday, 11/25/2009) at 6:30 p.m.

(New Yorkers, you can take a ferry to nearby Atlantic Highlands and then probably catch a cab from there.)

Hey Lemonmeister, you do realize I am going insane because I can't get up there tonight?

Although sitting next to me at work is a nice sized ball of naturally leavened (via "old dough" initially leavened with the South African culture) dough warming back to room temp before shaping it in the pan and then driving it home for my last Sicilian in a while....going back to traditional pies for a bit.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

"Hey Lemonmeister.....

Limoncellomeister has a nicer ring to it, don't you think?

", you do realize I am going insane because I can't get up there tonight?"

You do realize I drove two hours in Thanksgiving Eve traffic only to sample someone else's dough. However Anthony and the restaurant owner, Victor were more than gracious and I got to share a bottle of wine with one of my oldest friends and his wife. And the toppings on all of the pies were excellent, especially the bufala. I also got a little inside info from Anthony that I doubt he'd want me to share, so mum's the word.

"Although sitting next to me at work is a nice sized ball of naturally leavened (via "old dough" initially leavened with the South African culture)....."

And you called me a yeast whisperer?
