1. A Tale of Two Press Releases
In the last issue of Pizza News, I featured Jon F.'s review of The Pizza Book. Jon's writing was so impressive, I decided to turn the review into a Press Release.
I used the PR Web site, which has an International reputation. You can Read the Press Release Here.
Read more about this e-book at
this link: The
Pizza Book from pizzatherapy.com
Read Jon's review here.
I received the following Press

2. National Pizza Month- Where did it come from?
Allison writes:
"My name is Allison and I go to high school outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I am an editor of my high school paper and am working on compiling our calendar section for October. One of the events I came across was that October is National Pizza Month.
After doing extensive research, I have been unable to find out who established National Pizza Month and why they chose October. If you know the answer, or know someone who does, could you please send your answer in a reply to this email? I would greatly appreciate it as soon as possible. Thank you so much."
I had to admit, I was stumped. I referred Alison to our Pizza Business Page. I asked her to contact our friends at Pizza Today Magazine or Pizza Monthly Quarterly Magazine. I sent a follow up email a few weeks later, asked Allison if she was able to find any useful any information.
"Yep! I received the
information I needed from Pizza Today magazine! They told me that October was
designated as National Pizza Month in 1984 by Gerry Durnell founder of Pizza
Today magazine and he chose October because the inaugural issue of Pizza Today
debuted in the month of October.
(Find
links to PMQ and Pizza Today magazines here).
So I found everything
I needed! Thanks!"
Thank you Allison. As far as pizzatherapy.com is concerned every month is National Pizza Month...

3. Keep Your Pie High and Dry!
Roger writes:
Hello Albert,
Our company, Dexmet Corporation, makes a heat resistant, food
grade plastic mesh box liner called Dri-Pie,
We are selling the product to Pizza makers who mainly deliver
pizzas.
Dri-Pie keeps the pizza crust dry especially during the delivery time.
Dri-Pie keeps the pie from sitting
in its own juices and condensation. We have received good
feedback from the Pizza restaurants who are using Dri-Pie.
Can we send you some samples
and do you have any suggestions
for us to reach Pizza restaurant owners. Thanks for your
help. Please see our webpage:
www.dripie.com
Thank you Roger. I did get
a package of Dri-Pie.
This product is a great one and seems to take care of the "soggy pie syndrome".
I will put the word out to our over 4,500 Pizza News readers. Readers, visit the
website and watch the movie. If you operate a pizzeria, you may want to look
into this product!

4. Flour is King (King Arthur that is...)
Of course, flour is an essential ingredient for any pizza. In the early days, of my pizza making, I used all purpose flour. I was not that particular, due to the fact I generally got good results.
Over the years, I have done many different taste tests and experiments with different flours. I was always searching for the "perfect mix". I settled on a mixture of half bread flour and half all purpose flour. It just seems to taste right to me.
Recently, I have been using
high gluten flour with outstanding results. I purchased Sir Lancelot High Gluten Flour
from King Arthur. I have been quite impressed.
Without a doubt, my pizzas come out noticeably better with more of a crunch in
the crust. The taste is incredible. Friends who eat my pizza notice the
difference. "What's different?" they ask.
I am now a believer! I wish I
could say King Arthur was paying me to say this, but they do not sponsor my
website. (Not, at this time. I keep hoping they will!)
I just feel King Arthur flour is a superior product. As a matter of fact,
Auntie Mary would send my mom to the store to buy flour for her pasta. Auntie
Mary always instructed my mom to get King Arthur flour! "It tastes better" she
would say.
You can purchase the flour
through this link: Sir Lancelot High Gluten Flour
and pizzatherapy.com will get a small commission.
One word of caution. King Arthur does not recommend you use this product, if you are making the dough, by hand. I did not heed their advice.
I make my dough by hand. (I am
saving up for a Kitchen Aid Mixer,
however!) I really gave the dough some extra kneading time
to make sure the gluten was able to develop. I think this flour would work
better if you had a Kitchen Aid Mixer
or commercial mixer.
Give Sir Lancelot High Gluten Flour
a try, you may be pleasantly
surprised.
5. Totally Useless, but Fun: The Mahna Mahna Song
What follows is a link to a video of a song from the Muppets. Remember them? Kermit the frog and company? This is one of those songs that you hear once, and you just can't get it out of your head.
I am not sure you will be able to download this with a dial-up connection, but if you can, it will be worth the wait. All other Internet connections will have no problem.
Here is the link: The Mahna Mahna Song Video

This video put a smile on my face. I hope it does the same for you.
