Let's Celebrate Pi Day and Pizza!
One of my favorite things (besides pizza) is traveling and I absolutely love trying new foods and local cuisine when I visit a new place..
This year I had the privilege of traveling to Argentina- and the food was a treat! From the classics Alfajores & Empanadas to innovative and new restaurants where I tried some foods that were new to me. I also got to try a Pizza that was new to me; an Argentine Pizza made in a deep dish style.
A few months after my return I was thrilled when one of our team members got the opportunity to take a Pizza Pac into Boca Argentine restaurant in Seattle. Boca (and its owner Andrea Casas-Beaux) not only make fabulous Pizza in their Capitol Hill bakery, they also cooked a pizza IN the Pizza Pac in their pizza oven.
So we got an Argentine style Pizza, cooked to perfection, to carry home- no sweat
Here are some pics of our visit to Boca Argentine and if you keep scrolling, you’ll find a recipe you can make in your Pizza Pac.
Happy Pi day, and whatever you're up to today- we hope it’s delicious!

Fugazetta Pizza recipe 〰️
Make that dough!
Water | 1 ½ cups
Yeast | 1 ½ Tbsp
Flour | 4 cups
Salt | ½ Tbsp
Olive Oil | 2 ½ Tbsp
Extra Flour | as needed( about ¼ cup)
Mix together water and yeast. Cover, and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Pour the yeast and water in the middle. Incorporate all the ingredients together, first mixing with a spoon and then kneading with your hands. Add extra flour as needed. Cover the dough, and let rise on your counter for 2 hours.
This recipe makes enough dough for 4 Pac Pizzas, you’ll have some for later and it will keep in the fridge for about a week.
Knead the dough on a floured surface and divide into four equal balls of dough. Press the balls of dough out onto your pizza pacs that have been rubbed with a little oil. Press the dough flat onto the bottom of your Pac.
Don’t forget the toppings!
1-2 White Onions | sliced & caramelized
Mozzarella | 4 cups
Olive Oil Drizzle
Oregano & Black Pepper to taste
Bake in the oven at 375 for about 25 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the cheese melts.
