This was very good when it worked, but I had some trouble getting the pizza off the peel onto a pizza stone, it tended to stick even with lots of flour.

Never having made pizza before...thought I'd give it a try as I saw Mario make it. Have to say, the sauce was excellent and the pizza dough, outstanding! I used the kitchenaid mixer instead of kneading by hand...came out great. Thanks again..Mario

I watched Mario Batali make the pizza dough and thought... you know, I can do that! It all looked easy enough, and it was. I made the dough recipe two ways... one with a wooden spoon and hand-kneading, and the other using my KitchenAid mixer - I'll use the mixer in future as there was no discerning difference in the results - and it was much quicker.
I have to admit to never having a "traditional" Neopolitan pizza. I've had some great pizzas from mom & pop pizzerias before, but nothing to compare to this recipe. I loved experiencing the natural, full flavors of the tomato sauce, wonderful whole milk mozzallera, and fresh basil. It was a true taste of the origin of pizza.
I made two types of pizzas from Batali's recipe - one traditional, the other with mushrooms, homemade basil pesto (easy and delicious, and sliced Prosciutto.
My husband said that he thought it was great, but would be even better with bell peppers and onions. I have to agree, as I too missed those American standard ingredients.
Try the traditional Neopolitan style before adding the usual toppings, as it is a great, simple, and fresh way to experience a well-loved favorite.
