Believe it or not, BKK got an Air Quality Index rating of 18. Dubai got 222 & Beijing aa 328 for example. I'm shocked by this. I've spent a lot of time there there & the air is usually bloody awful. I wonder whether they measured at airports or something. This one doesn't sit right. Link: ht...

^^^^^^ Absolutely. We kept our's at 800 and the chef would only burn olive wood, which made me crazy since it cost a lot more than other hardwoods. The age of the mother dough is important too. The older stuff is way more complex and produces more crust bubbles.

there are a lot of different styles. hot cooked with thin crust, like in a wood fired oven. takes abt 4 mins to cook if hot enough. lower oven for napoli style with a thicker crust which is mostly the kind found in USA. soft and moist. all need some hard wheat flour- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...

Open ocean boat races could sort the men from the boys. Much tougher than rowing on a river. depends if you are rowing with or against the tide ....flat water is hard work if you are going all day, no breaks. I used to Open Water Row in a 24' skull on San Francisco Bay & did a dozen or so races...

Tony's pizza was a lot better than I thought it would be, but not great. Never tried Shooters. I always go for the curry.

^^^^^^ Yup, gloppy garbage. I don't want Pizza Hut type crap. They way over-top them to hide the fact that the crust is awful. It is closer to sawdust than the right grain for pizza and pasta. Bread flour does not make a good product. Most places don't use the proper wheat (hard durum) because it is...

ive always fancied getting a decent western style pizza from the Pizza Co. in SHV but ive heard so many bad reports its put me off forking out for one, are the bad reviews justified? I've had Pizza Co in BKK and it's gloppy garbage. The box would have made a better crust. 2 bites & I was done &...

They were good until maybe 6 months ago. They're using rolling pins now I think & they're too thin for me with no crust.

Thanks AM, I'm not optimistic about a happy joint, but I will give her a shot. Might as well order extra ecstatic since I'm there. Not positive about Mediterraneo, but they had a for sale sign up and the last three times they were shut.

Unfortunately the guys making the only acceptable pizzas in town shut down - Mediterraneo. Their food was great but the nitwits picked the worst imaginable location on Karaoke St & it came back to bite them in the ass. The noise from all the joints next door was more irritating than a face full ...
