I should just know that if it's Kenji and pizza it's going to be good. With my sweetie out of town and me spending the whole week in the studio, I wanted something fast and tasty. And lo, the Lopez-Alt delivers:

Yes, this really works, and it works well. One warning though: it's really easy to burn these suckers under the broiler.

I did pizza with fresh san marzanos (because I had them), caciocavallo, tuna and calabrian hot pepper, and another with 3 kinds of peppers (hatch, lipstick and mild hungarian). Completely awesome, and 20 minutes from cutting board to table including prep.

Looks fantastic! Will be trying this on Friday night. Thanks Josh, and Kenji...

I assume you used aged caciocavallo - there is nothing better! Maybe robiolo.

That's too funny -- I saw this recipe on SE late last night and was close to drooling on my iPad. So did you do the basic tortilla pizza, Josh, or did you go for broke with the pizzadilla?

Emile:

Well, "basic", I suppose.

Tim,

Of course! IMHO, it's the single best "melting" cheese for Italian food if you want something stronger than mozzarella.

I use my cast iron round griddle for pizzas of all kinds. Works best for me. I love thin crispy pizza so it's a match made in heaven. Plus I prefer smaller pizzas to the great large ones. I assemble the pizza, cook on the stovetop for the crust and then bake in a hot oven for the toppings. I see a mushroom pizza in my very near future.

Folks,

So, another Kenji win: the 2-minute hollandaise: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013 ... ecipe.html

Since my inlaws don't have a good immersion blender (just one speed: Jackson Pollock) I used the Vita-Mix instead and it worked great. I may never make hollandaise the standard way again.

I've used mechanical help on hollandaise for years. It may be cheating, but my wrists can only take so much whisking.
