The Joey Special (2 Pizzas) for Pi Day
It's the Joey Special (2 pizzas 🤣) for Pi Day!
Why have one pizza when you could have 2? One cheese, and one spicy chicken pepperoni jalapeño w/ yellow bird blue agave sriracha 😆
And a big thanks to my brother for the new pizza steel I had to try out!
Making pizza at home for special occasions like Pi Day is such a rewarding experience. I recently tried a combo similar to the Joey Special—one cheese pizza paired with a spicy chicken pepperoni jalapeño topped with a drizzle of blue agave sriracha. The contrast between the mild, gooey cheese and the spicy kick of the second pizza made for a perfect flavor balance. What really enhanced the pizzas was using a pizza steel instead of a traditional stone or baking sheet. The pizza steel provides more even and intense heat, helping to achieve a crispier crust and beautifully melted cheese. Whenever I bake on my pizza steel, the results remind me of pizzerias with wood-fired ovens. Plus, preheating the steel for at least 45 minutes ensures the best heat retention for cooking. If you enjoy experimenting with homemade pizzas, consider trying different toppings and spice combinations inspired by the Joey Special. Using fresh ingredients and unique sauces like yellow bird blue agave sriracha adds an exciting twist. Sharing the pizzas with family or friends also makes the celebration more special—two pizzas mean more chances to find your favorite combination! Overall, Pi Day is a fantastic opportunity not only to celebrate the mathematical constant but also to enjoy delicious, creative pizzas prepared in your own kitchen. Whether for a casual family dinner or a themed party, trying out double pizzas and investing in tools like a pizza steel can elevate your homemade pizza game tremendously.
