This is my pizza story.
For some, pizza is just a quick dinner option for Friday night. But for me, it’s a burning passion, a never-ending quest for perfection. And let me tell you, my journey hasn’t been a walk in the park.
My name is Rufino Rosado, and I’m an amazing pizzaiolo. Or at least that’s what I tell myself each morning.
Falling in love with pizza
My earliest pizza memory involves greasy paper plates, questionable hygiene, and animatronic rodents serenading me with off-key renditions of Happy Birthday. Picture a five-year-old me, sticky-fingered and wide-eyed, at a local pizzeria. I was surrounded by neon lights and the sounds of coin arcade machines in the background. That’s where my love affair with pizza began.
From those humble beginnings, my pizza obsession blossomed. I devoured every slice I could get my hands on, from the classic New York fold to the deep-dish decadence of Detroit. No style was safe. Neapolitan simplicity, Roman thin-crust, Sicilian focaccia-like magic, I consumed them all with the determination of a competitive eater on a sugar rush.
The pizza struggle was real.
But something was missing. While the commercial pies were delicious, I needed to know if I could create a truly perfect slice. So, armed with a bargain pizza peel, a healthy amount of enthusiasm, and a kitchen perpetually dusted with flour, I embarked on my pizza journey.
My early attempts were, let’s just say they wouldn’t win any awards (except maybe “Most Likely to Cause a Kitchen Fire”). My dough resembled hockey pucks, and the cheese refused to cooperate. But I persevered, believing that somewhere within me resided a pizza-making genius.
Over the years, my failures became stepping stones to success. Each burnt crust, each under-cooked mess, taught me a valuable lesson. I experimented with flour, yeast, hydration levels, and temperatures, meticulously documenting every step like a pizza-obsessed alchemist.
Slowly, but surely, my pizzas started to transform. My kitchen, once a war zone of flour and frustration, became a haven of delicious aromas and cheesy triumphs. My friends and family, initially skeptical guinea pigs, became raving fans, begging for “just one more slice.”
But my journey wasn’t just about personal satisfaction. The more I learned, the more I realized there was a great knowledge gap in the home-cooked pizza world. Countless pizza enthusiasts were struggling to achieve pizza nirvana.
And Pizza Fury was born!
That’s when the idea struck me: share my hard-earned pizza wisdom with the World! This blog, my friends, is my testament to the power of perseverance and the pure, unadulterated joy of a perfect pizza slice.
Here, I’ll share my tried-and-true recipes, troubleshoot your dough disasters, and guide you on your pizza journey. Whether it’s your first attempt at a basic Margherita or a wild, pineapple-topped experiment (hey, no judgment here!) I’m here to support you.
Dust off your oven and join me on this adventure. Together, we’ll prove that anyone can become a pizza creator, one cheesy creation at a time. Remember, the only bad pizza is the one you haven’t made yet.
