  • Easy as pie
    How do you make the perfect Margherita pizza at home? Four local chefs share their secrets.

    Reporting by Misty Tosh and camerawork by Kuba Zelazek
    Editing by Scott Smith


    In our cover story, “Best of ‘za bunch,” we picked our five favorite spots for Margherita pizza. But you don’t need to leave the house to enjoy the taste of plum tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil on a crispy crust.

    In these videos, Jonathan Goldsmith at Spacca Napoli, Phaedre Divres at Gruppo di Amici, Chris Karl at Crust and J. Spillane at Coal Fire take us inside their kitchens and school us on how to make a Margherita pizza at home.
