Scratch Pizza, Jimmy’s Ingredients
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 5:44 pm
Returning Saturday from a charity volunteer event in South Dallas, my son Boots Junior and I got stuck in a ferocious rain storm in downtown Dallas. Solution? Of course, we holed up at Jimmy’s Food Store at Bryan and Fitzhugh streets, an old school Dallas icon and a true Italian neighborhood grocery. One of my favorite places in the world, you can actually buy a glass of Italian wine and an Italian sub and drink and eat while you wheel yer cart around or simply sit at one of the small bistro tables in the front window.
So we are in Jimmy’s, and you know Boots’s got to do what Boots has got to do - we gonna makea pizza pie, Paisan, Capisce?
Jimmy’s can or does sell pretty much anything they want to make themselves. So I picked up a fresh made ball of pizza dough, fresh house made mild Italian chicken sausage, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, roasted red peppers, fresh cry meanie mushrooms, and some first rate marinara sauce.
Through the miracle of time lapse photography (Time lapsed between each shot as I took a swig of beer), You can judge the results yourself. The pizza turned out to be a magic trick, there it was one minute right there on the counter, and the next minute it was completely vanished.
