COALFIRE<br />

PLY<br />

As its name implies, everything is made<br />

from plywood in this pizzeria located<br />

in Manchester, England. On the menu<br />

are regular sourdough pizzas as well<br />

as several weekend specials, priced<br />

reasonably and all cooked in 90<br />

seconds in a wood-fired clay oven.<br />

The oven was built on site by three<br />

Italian specialists and made from<br />

Neapolitan volcanic rock covered in<br />

clay and disco ball-style mirror tiles.<br />

Must-try pizzas include the Margherita,<br />

Napoletana and the Courgette, especially<br />

if you're a vegetarian!<br />

Proprietors Dave Bonomi and Bill Carroll told Convergence<br />

that the reason for the ever increasing flow of customers to<br />

both their pizzerias located in Chicago, USA, stems from the<br />

team's friendly and unpretentious service.<br />

They both said, "We mostly work<br />

with local Salumaio farmers and<br />

butchers who only use the highest<br />

quality, antibiotic and pesticidefree<br />

meats and vegetables.<br />

Also, we are endlessly<br />

trying to improve on our<br />

craft of making good<br />

pizzas!" To try: Nduja<br />

pizza with Nduja<br />

-infused ricotta, spinach<br />

pizza with pistachio<br />

pesto-infused whipped<br />

ricotta, margherita pizza,<br />

pepperoni and whipped<br />

ricotta pizza, spinach pizza<br />

and pistachio pesto with<br />

burrata pizza.<br />

PAULIE GEE<br />

On his Twitter account, Paulie<br />

Gee's proprietor, Paulie<br />

Giannone said, "Some<br />

people live to eat, I live<br />

to eat pizza, serve it in<br />

Greenpoint (Brooklyn,<br />

New York) and help<br />

others serve it elsewhere."<br />

Rest assured, Paulie is<br />

living up to this statement<br />

every single day because the<br />

word on the street has it that every<br />

pizza slice you eat (vegan choices as well!)<br />

at this joint will have you hearing the bells of heaven. We kid<br />

you not. Must-try pizzas include the 'Hellboy' with crushed<br />

tomatoes, earthy sopressata and artisanal spiced honey and<br />

'Ricotta Be Kidding Me' with fennel-seeded Italian sausage,<br />

Canadian bacon and ricotta cheese piped on each slice. Be<br />

warned that the outlet does not allow takeaways as Paulie<br />

believes it compromises the taste and quality of his pizzas.<br />

PRATO<br />

Florida, also known as USA's<br />

Sunshine State, is best<br />

known for its beaches,<br />

nightlife and<br />

apparently one<br />

pretty famous<br />

pizza outlet! At<br />

Prato, the classic<br />

Margherita<br />

prepared with<br />

a homemade<br />

sauce, fresh<br />

mozzarella and<br />

hand-picked<br />

basil is the<br />

bomb-diggity!<br />

And if you love<br />

that warm feeling<br />

from a perfectlycooked<br />

runny yolk,<br />

the 'Widow Maker' is<br />

your choice. 'Diavlo' is<br />

Prato's version of a pepperoni<br />

pizza as it is made from<br />

homemade pepperoni slices<br />

with juicy and spicy bell<br />

peppers and chilli<br />

oil. The outlet also<br />

offers seasonal<br />

pizzas which<br />

change<br />

according to<br />

seasonal<br />

ingredients<br />

from the<br />

market.<br />
