    Sudbury Era Begins: White Pizza, Overhead Shot

    May 2020 — new house, new location tag (Sudbury, Massachusetts, which shows up all over this blog’s wing archive too), and a return to the white-pizza-with-ricotta formula, this time shot from directly overhead on a wood table. The pandemic spring when everyone’s home cooking hobbies got a serious upgrade shows up here too, apparently. I’ll…

  • Two Pizzas, Bright Light, No Date to Be Honest About

    Two Pizzas, Bright Light, No Date to Be Honest About

    This one has no timestamp in its file data at all, so in the interest of honesty: I don’t know exactly when this was taken. What’s clear is the content — two round pizzas side by side on a wood table, one white with a green garnish, one red-sauced, photographed in genuinely good natural light…

  • White Pizza on Dark Parchment

    White Pizza on Dark Parchment

    Ricotta dollops scattered across a round white pizza, photographed on dark parchment paper in January 2018 — a full seven years after the archive’s first pizza photo, and the white-pizza-with-ricotta formula is clearly still in the regular rotation. Some combinations just work and stay in the lineup. Recipe inspiration for anyone inspired to start their…

  • More Ricotta Dollops, Because It Worked Last Time

    More Ricotta Dollops, Because It Worked Last Time

    Another white pizza with ricotta dollops shows up in February 2013, char spots and all, on the familiar wire rack. Once a household finds a topping combination that works, it apparently goes into regular rotation — no shame in a repeat performance. Made-up detail: I’ll say this was the “we’re out of pepperoni, ricotta it…

  • Two Pizzas, One Night, Zero Compromise

    Two Pizzas, One Night, Zero Compromise

    December 30, 2012, and this household solved the eternal “half the people want plain cheese, half want everything” problem by just making two entire pizzas — one loaded with toppings, one white with dollops of ricotta. No negotiating required. This is, frankly, the correct way to handle divided pizza-topping opinions, and I have no notes…

  • Rustic White Pizza, January 2012

    Rustic White Pizza, January 2012

    A pale, rustic-crusted pizza on parchment paper, photographed close and unglamorously — this is a pizza that exists to be eaten, not styled. The crust has a nice irregular, hand-shaped edge that suggests actual effort went into the dough that day. Making up the rest: probably a white pizza, ricotta and garlic, because that’s what…

  • The White Pizza That Nearly Didn’t Make It

    The White Pizza That Nearly Didn’t Make It

    A pale, minimally-sauced square pizza with charred edges — this one lived dangerously close to the broiler element, by the look of that crust color. Two shots exist, both close-up enough to suggest someone was genuinely worried about how it turned out. Reader, I choose to believe it turned out fine. Char on the edges…
