There's no way around it: making pizza is hard! Take it from me—a lifelong cook from one pizza hotspot (New Haven adjacent) now living in another pizza mecca (New York City) who's eaten vast and varied slices in her hay day and still can only muster up ho-hum dough slabs in her home kitchen. It takes time, effort, and patience, and pop culture presents this notion that you have to drop everything to become a pizza maker's apprentice in Italy in order to learn all the secrets.
As alluring as that sounds, I can’t just hop on a plane tomorrow, so I did the next best thing and consulted a few NYC-based pizza pros to let me in on a few tips and tools that at-home enthusiasts need to mix, proof, bake, and slice some pretty incredible pies. Their recommendations range between simple tools like squeeze bottles and investment pieces like the Baking Steel. If you already cook and bake like clockwork, there’s a good chance you already have some of the essentials. And if you don’t, grabbing them will only strengthen your kit for all your cooking projects whether it’s artisanal pizza or rainbow cookies.
