What started as a health-blogger trend, has now taken over pizzerias from coast-to-coast. Cauliflower-crust has become the go-to low-carb and gluten-free alternative to standard pizza dough. But does this pizza dough alternative fit within Mark Iacono’s rigid pizza rules of sauce, cheese, and dough? On this week’s episode, Scott heads to Adoro Lei to get one of their wood-fired cauliflower-crust pizzas for Mark to try. Will it pass Mark’s pizza bar?
Pizza is one of the most customizable foods in history. Tomato sauce, white sauce, artichoke cream sauce, broccoli, M&M’s, pineapple, edible 24K gold — a pizza can be anything your heart desires. But should it? Renowned pizza nerd Scott Wiener is challenging the idea that pizza can be anything. He’s traveling all over America, spotlighting these Frankenstein pizzas and trying to make a case for whether these new customizations can, in fact, still be considered a pizza. In the end, Wiener takes these pizzas to Lucali to pass final judgment from the purist of all pizza purists, Mark Iacono, where he will either declare each slice “PIZZA!” or ask with complete disgust, “Really, dough???”
