Chefs Craft Crispy California Crusts at Straw Hat Pizza
June 27, 2017 | sack
According to Straw Hat Pizza, its pizza chefs invented the California crust back in 1959. They pioneered this almost cracker-like crust for the sake of creating a truly unique pie. After designing the light, crispy crust, they turned their attention to the sauce. Though the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret, the chefs started with plump California tomatoes and a blend of herbs and spices. Finally, they smothered that first pie with six types of California-crafted cheeses, and the rest is culinary history.
Come to Straw Hat Pizza to taste one of these carefully crafted pies for yourself. The locally renowned Aloha Chicken MasterPizza is a signature creation. Grilled chicken, ham, bacon, pineapple, and a swirl of barbecue sauce top this pizza, while the California Veggie MasterPizza skips the meat in favor of a fresh harvest of broccoli, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and Cajun spices over garlic-cheese sauce.
