Bushwick destination pizza spot Roberta's draws big crowds for its deliciously inventive pies, which they make on average 750 times a day. That's just one of the things we learned from their latest video, which takes us behind the scenes of their pizza creation from dough to cheese to table.
The team dubs the dough paramount in making their pies successful, specifically the method by which the dough is mixed and proofed. The team also makes their mozzarella in-house, explaining that "there's nothing like the mozzarella that's made hours ago." Then it's a matter of balancing the moisture content and making sure the pies don't get incinerated in the 900 - 1,000 degree oven.
"Everyone knows perfection is impossible to attain," muses Roberta's President and Co-Founder Chris Parachini. "But good things come from the pursuit of it."
Learn all the things you want from the five minute vid or just watch for the pizza porn. No judgements.
