Top This: The Hellboy (Ã la Paulie Gee's)
Learn how to work a new topping onto your pies.
Three years ago, Paulie Giannone told then-music supervisor Mike Kurtz he could apprentice at his newly opened pizzeria, Paulie Gee's. Mike told Paulie, "Next week, when I come in, I'm going to bring my condiment." The first day of his apprenticeship, in walked Mike with a bottle of his homemade chile-infused honey.
It wasn't long before the two pizzaioli figured out that the chile and vinegar-spiked honey and Paulie's Dellboy pizza (a salty, meaty, piquant pizza made with spicy sopressata, fresh mozz, and parmigiano reggiano) were a match made in pizza heaven. And that's how the aptly named Hellboy, a must-order pie on the Paulie Gee's menu, was born.
