What To Know About Pizza In Cape May NJ

By Steven Ross


Pizza is a kind of flatbread that is baked in an oven and topped with various substances including meats, condiments, and vegetables. The first usage of that term was in the tenth century in a Latin manuscript. The modern day pizza originated from Naples in Italy. Over time, it has become a global dish that is made and eaten in many different places in the world over. There are many experts in pizza in Cape May NJ that make the highest quality of the dish.

Current day pizzas are an evolution from flatbread dishes that used to be made in Naples, Italy. The specific time of origin is approximated to be18th or 19th century. Basil, cheese, garlic, lard, and salt were favorite toppings in used before that period. The time when tomato became introduced as a topping is not clear because different conflicting accounts have been given by different researchers.

There are several different ways of preparing the meal. It can be prepared and served fresh, frozen, and as pieces or portion-size slices. Initially there were problems encountered during preparation such as the sauce mixing with the dough and the crust hardening when reheated after freezing or cooling. These challenges have been overcome by developing better methods for preparation. Crusts can be made to be self-rising and ingredients can be raw.

Today, it is possible to buy raw pizzas and finish the preparation at home. The stores assemble all the necessary ingredients and make the product as it should be. The only process they leave for the buyer is cooking, which can be done in any way using any kind of heat source. Stores also sell ingredients for those who wish to do the preparation and cooking on their own. In developed countries, this meal is available on most fast food menus.

Cooking can be done using different types of methods and heat sources. Major heat sources are in form of electric deck oven, conveyor belt oven, and coal- or wood-fired brick ovens. The last kind of oven is confined to expensive restaurants only because it is very costly and luxurious. The prepared dough is placed over the source of heat to cook.

Paddles referred to as peels are employed in sliding pizzas into the oven if the heat source is a deck oven. Baking then happens directly on heated bricks. Cornmeal is sprinkled over the peel so that dough can slide easily. Barbecue grills are also being used to make this meal while in Chicago-style types, pans are used.

The crust, which is the bottom of the flatbread is made in different styles in different variants. In some variants, it is very thin while in others it is very thick. The crust is usually plain in most cases, but some restaurants season it with ingredients such as cheese, herbs, or garlic among other.

If the right ingredients are used and the preparation method is good, the meal that results is a healthy one. However, because many US restaurant chains continue to use unhealthy ingredients, the meal has come under severe criticism. Fats, salt, and food energy are used in huge quantities, which makes it unhealthy.
