Motzei Shabbos Pizza
A small weekly batch of crisp, blistered 11-inch pizzas—handmade for friends, neighbors, and Motzei Shabbos in Jackson 21.
The ClassicMy style
Neo-Neapolitan pizza keeps the light, airy edge and soft, foldable center associated with Neapolitan pizza, then adds a little more structure, crispness, and developed flavor. My Classic starts with 100% sourdough and 8% whole wheat flour, which brings subtle nuttiness and depth to the dough.
The dough’s high water content creates more steam in the oven, helping the crumb open into a tender, airy interior. Extra virgin olive oil adds tenderness, supports browning, and helps the finished crust stay supple.
From there, time does the rest. A slow, multi-day fermentation develops flavor and extensibility. While many pizza shops prefer a hotter, faster bake, I use a lower, controlled bake around 650°F. It creates a crisp, blistered exterior with a touch of char while keeping the center soft, foldable, and satisfying.

About the chef
I’ve spent my career in restaurants, including serving as executive chef at Ottimo Cafe and currently as executive chef at Cafotteria Modern Eatery. Along the way, pizza has always been something I’ve loved making for friends, family, and neighbors.
Jackson 21 deserves immediate access to chef-driven, high-quality pizza, so I turned my garage into a tiny Motzei Shabbos pizza pickup for the community. Every Classic pie is mixed, shaped, and fired by me in small batches.
