I started this food/movie blog for a class I’m taking this semester. This newest post will teach you how to make really good basil pesto and pizza that has a nice, crispy crust at home.

Who doesn’t love a good mobster film and some pizza?

I brush an olive oil/pepper mixture over the crust to replicate my great grandmother’s recipe for pepper biscuits, and my pizza stone helps me yield a nice stiff and crisp crust. I finished this pie off with my toasted pine nut basil pesto recipe, some mozzerella from narragansett creamery, and a sauce made of san marzano tomatoes. Out of all the pizza I’ve eaten in Rhode Island, this is the best - but to be fair the pizza here is atrocious.
