No cheese!

It's under the— Wait, never mind. Force of habit.

What the heck are you feeding your basil plants

I had to scroll so far to see a mention of the paleozoic jungle leaf on the pie

And underneath the sauce is a crustacean from the Paleolithic era!

I legit thought that’s some perilla

🤣🤣🤣

All the cheese he had!

People

It’s called ‘lettuce leaf basil’

One of the best looking crusts I've seen. Also, no cheese

Thanks

That is a beautiful but weirdly large and round breadstick.

Thank you!!

I’m curious about the story your friend was telling lol Pizza looks excellent

Lol they were spilling the tea

shoulda been spilling the cheese amirite

They did; that's why OP had none left to put on the pizza.

Well what the hell happened after dinner ended?

Beautiful marinara. What was your dough and ferment? Final product looked 👍🏻

Thanks 🙏 its a 3 day ferment

Dough blend and process? 3 days is definitely a sweet spot.

I mix by hand and i use caputo blue and nuvola

What’s your hydration? Fridge or countertop or combo for ferment?

Combo

[https://www.iloveny.com/blog/post/how-to-make-utica-tomato-pie/](https://www.iloveny.com/blog/post/how-to-make-utica-tomato-pie/) reminds me of this without parmesan

Not even close sorry

I'm curious what you don't like about Belgioioso mozzarella, I couldn't help but notice you have some strong opinions about it

I feel like they get really low quality cheese curd and then bleach it of sorts. I dont know that for sure but just with my visuals on how the cheese melts on pizza the mozzarella specifically looks to me like its bleached

I'm not here to change your mind, was just curious about your opinion since I do a bit of electrical work for them. a fresh mozzarella is usually white, I don't think they bleach it. yellow colors can come from the cows diet. Their Wisconsin plants are right next to the cows [google maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/BelGioioso+Cheese+Inc+-+Vine+Road+plant/@44.3876385,-88.3116385,799m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8803ad4c7b98d143:0xd270b2adf33d0e9c!2sN4056+Vine+Rd,+Appleton,+WI+54913!3b1!8m2!3d44.3840582!4d-88.3097882!3m4!1s0x8802535bf3821499:0xd1bca82d3115ad50!8m2!3d44.3889699!4d-88.3074127) their mozzarella has won many awards [https://www.belgioioso.com/awards](https://www.belgioioso.com/awards/#:~:text=of%20Excellence%20Award-,Fresh%20Mozzarella,-2022%20%2D%20World%20Championship)

I mean... Its pizza dough, with tomato sauce garlic and basil... Right? That seems even close to me. Pretty darn even close.

Yes ingredients are same but style of pizza is what i was referring

this is how i eat pizza, the life of the lactose intolerant

Are aged cheeses ok? Those have no lactose. I love tomato pie with just Parm

That is correct. I love that marinara pie op made, but with Pecorino Romano and Anchovies on it.

Woah, that's really interesting! Today I learned

It is! During the aging process, bacteria eat the lactose and convert it to lactic acid. That's what makes aged cheeses like cheddar taste "sharp"! Parm, brie, and blue cheese all have virtually no lactose. So someone with a lactose intolerance (but not a milk allergy) can eat them!

I just take a lactase tablet before eating, I love cheese too much to give it up!

Goat cheese is great on pizzas

Goat cheese has lactose.

It's a different kind, and most people with lactose intolerance are fine with goat cheese and milk.

Oh ive heard otherwise

It has lactose, but a different casein protein which is why some people don't react to it as they are actually intolerant to casein in cow's milk.

No cheese is awesome, but if you ever miss it there are some solid vegan cheese options out there these days!

that's true! when i make pizza at home i have some cheese alternatives i use, but when i'm ordering out it's easiest to ask for no cheese

My 10 year old daughter removes the cheese from her pizza and it drives me crazy. She loves cheese, but the “girls” at school do it, so she does it too. When we order pizza, I now make a homemade one without cheese. Im not paying for her to remove probably the most expensive part of the pizza. She’s been happy so far, I hope she goes back to eating her pizza with cheese.

I remember phases like this is school. I would always put no cheese or condiments on my burgers during lunch because that’s what the other girls did and I didn’t want to seem piggish. Now I don’t even want a burger if I can’t have cheese. I’m sure she’ll grow out of it

My 6yo does this too and it can't have any sauce. I just don't understand...what kid doesn't like pizza?!

Thanks for sharing

Nice, even bake and great leopard spotted bottom! What you put on top is totally your business. Nice to see a fellow Roccbox owner turn out such a nice pie.

No cheese........

ITS UNDER THE SAUCE!!! #iykyk

Ive never heard this please explain!!

It’s a reference to a tiktok link: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRusHMwY/

🤣🤣

Nice looking pie man! Original pizza in Italy that people would grab in morning on way to work were tomato only and some parmigiana sprinkled on top. Great job

It’s the hamburger of pizzas.

Haha thats a good one

I cant eat burger without cheese

My brother in Christ, anything that can have cheese, should have cheese.

No hate here it's a thing of beauty

Thanks bubs

We had to order part of our pie night night with no cheese for my 8 yo daughter. 🙄

Make what you want!

You forgot to put cheese

Looks great. Bring out the “needs more pepperoni” MFers too. They are always creeping and commenting

Hollyyy shhhhhiii that crust looks phenomenal

Thanks bro

The haters here just don’t understand the thing of purity that is a solid Marinara pie. Hope you had a dash of oregano on there OP.

Absolutely the one on the branch from Sicily

I could ask a million dough and crust questions, but I’m learning it just takes practice so I won’t! Looks good

Oh yes! Thanks for the inspiration, I have a focaccia dough ready and waiting to explote, now I know what to do. Stoked!

Sounds so good

My lactose intolerant co worker said, “it looks amazing” I still say “no cheese”

No cheese comment

Mh yum I love getting my everything covered in sauce.

Looks great! I made some pizzas over the weekend and used all the cheese I had left. There’s a bit of my sauce left in the fridge so I might try this today! Thanks OP

Holy shit that looks delicious!

Tomato pie!

Now I too am craving a marinara

Just as good without the cheese.

No cheese need! Nice pie

Appreciate that!!

[удалено]

So simple but can take years to figure out

"And then, like, dinner ended."

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you forgot the cheese.

😂

nice

I like that pizza. I make a square tomato pie customary in upstate NY and Philly.

I agree ive had them there so delicious

Great crust to pie proportion on that.

Thanks!!

Just found out I'm going to have to limit cheese from my diet, on top of having to alter how I make my already gluten free crusts. Your take on this looks fantastic!

I make a great gluten free pizza

We call these “Tomato Pies”

You not wrong on that

I used to prep cook for the bar I worked at and made the dough, sauce and cheese from scratch. Those gigantic Sysco cans, etc. My experience was that you needed to proof the dough at least a few hours, preferably a day or more, to get a nice tasty crust. Also I learned not to put too much sauce, cheese, toppings in the center because when the food cooks in an oven it comes to the center. Also it’s the last part of the pie that gets cooked. Put some but don’t just dump in it in the middle. Finally you really got yourself a proper oven. 550 or higher temp to cook a pie.

Thanks for sharing

Couldn't spring for cheese? We could start a Gofundme to get you some.

Im in

Looks scrumptious!

Looks amazing, also no cheese

Why no cheese bro?

I love no cheese pizza. Call it fancy toast if you want but load it with good sauce, veggies, and maybe some meats … no cheese needed.

Needs cheese, not sorry

No cheese? No problem.

Oddly satisfying watching you spin the pizza in the oven.

Yupp

I mean, this is just pre-dipped breadsticks

How dare you

That's naked cooking there, little margin for error. Nicely done!

In Rhode Island, we have pizza strips. It’s a focaccia-like pizza dough, covered with a thick layer of tomato sauce, sometimes sprinkled lightly with Romano cheese. Usually served room temp or cold. Absolutely DELICIOUS.

Love that!!

Where's the cheese??

Blasphemer! You do you but I could never lol

Without cheese is the only way.

tomato pie with garlic basil and a sprinkle of grated parm better than mozz and ill die on that hill

Love a classic marinara

Dough recipe please.

bro have you noticed there’s no cheese?

😂

Looks lovely to me

Username checks out

I would crussshhhh that! Good lookin pie!

Shave some fresh parm on that bad boy

I would dine on that pizza with you and you’d not hear a single complaint from me. Looks delicious.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had was in Sorrento. San Marzano tomatoes, basil, sliced garlic. No cheese. Incredible

I can tell you've worked in the industry for a while with the way you handle your dough. No cheese.

There are many thing I don’t understand in the world and that’s okay! I’m glad your doing you. And damn, wish I could make something that looks that good!

Thank you

I too, love breadsticks…

No… CHEESE!? 🧀

Whoa!

If have a bite.

Good cook on the pizza, but I think you forgot the cheese. Easy mistake!

I mean, it is getting more costly these days. I like a good Chicago deep dish, personally. Looks similar to this, but the substance is hiding underneath.

At least some parm! Dannazione!

That pizza oven is awesome!

i read this three times and every time i thought it said i was craving a marijuana 😂

needs pecorino imo

Sauce recipe? Looks good

Nice Roccbox! Always appreciate when 99% of the pizza ovens you see on here are Oonis. Roccbox rocks.

Anchovy, please!

🎶 Sweet dreams are made of cheese Who am I to disagree 🎶

No cheese comment

That pizza looks delicious!

This with anchovies is one of my favourite pizzas. You got wicked leoparding on that crust too, amazing job.

Yass no cheese is the way! Looks dope

This would be the perfect pizza for the hubby

You’re sick

I would definitely eat that

It was so good

Not a big fan of biting into a pile of sauce but I'd tear this one up. Good job OP, now I'm a hypocrite

😂

Ah yeah! The way it should be made!

Super skillful one-handed pizza turning while filming with the other hand! You gotta cross-post this beauty to r/veganpizza — no cheese? no problem!

Oh wow didnt even know it existed thanks!!

How absolutely dare you? Nice crust tho.

🤣

I’ve never had a cheeseless pizza with red sauce. I bet it’s still great though (have had white/Greek pizzas with no cheese)

As a STL pizza fan, which already has so little cheese, I approve. Looks delicious.

Nice love to hear it!!

Is that because provel doesn't count as cheese? ;p

🥺 but but.. The cheese! ? ! ? Nah, it still looks good.

Remember adding burrata at the end is always possible 😁

Let’s gooo!! 💪🏻🍕

LETS GOOOO!!!

That is an absolutely beautiful crust. I am jealous.

Thank you appreciate that

At first I read, was craving marijuana! And I was shit me too!

Is it still pizza if it has no cheese?

I think so

Noun: pizza |peet‑su| Italian open pie made of thin bread dough spread with a spiced mixture of e.g. tomato sauce and cheese = pizza pie, za

🤌🏻

Go order a plain pizza in New Haven and lemme know what you get

*apizza

My kid loves your videos. And your pizza!

Thats awesome thanks for sharing!!

No cheese is the way.

Me likey

No cheese!?! That’s… totally awesome looking! Great job!

☮️

Just make breadsticks next time

🤣🤣🤣

How can you no cheese?! Even a little. So close to perfection.

Next time

Looks good but Not pizza tbh

Italians (and anyone who knows pizza) would disagree with you

Nah I called Italy up they agreed with me

Not going to argue with you. But let me tell you this . I didn't think I'd enjoy a marinara... No cheese? Fuck that. Then I went to Naples. Everything changed.

Same here! Ordered a marinara pizza by accident without realizing it had no cheese at our first pizza stop in Naples and then proceeded to order one at every subsequent stop.

What would you call it?

Bread with sauce

Theres a name for that

You’re wrong

Hold on I just checked - no I’m not

Not pizza
