I love the mascarpone/honey dessert at Ancora... served with grilled homemade bread (last time I went it was cherry/pistachio)

Domenica and Ancora are crafting 2 diff styles of pizza. Ds oven is definitely NOT fired at a higher temp than Ancoras Neapolitan oven. Jeff's pizza at Ancora is made with a starter (sourdough, aka wild yeast). Dunno if Domenicas crust has commercial yeast or not.

If Ancora would make their sauce just a tiny bit sweeter, their pizza would be pretty much perfect, IMO.

That is a really good one. Also tried the Enzo which is similar but even hotter.

The Diavola


I like that one a lot. The putanesca has potential but they need to somehow remedy how salty it is. Anti pizza plate

Ok, just talking about the Diavola is making my mouth water.

Now I have the Puttanesca on my mind. Guess I'll be making pizza again this weekend. Don't overlook the simple marinara pie with just tomato sauce, thinly sliced garlic...seems too simple to be so delicious, but the crust really shines.

Just found out that the chef at the Wood Fired Pizza truck in Baton Rouge trained under Shaya at Domenica.

Tutto Carne add yard egg is my standard.

Domenica and Ancora as Hungryone points out are extremely different pizzas and picking a favorite is like picking a favorite child.

Never said it was. Was replying to a post about the Balzano (which is very good as well).
