WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS: Restaurant advertising is all around us. For instance...
How many times have you read or heard... Authentic New York Style pizza? Well, New York Style pizza is simply that...
New York Style pizza, but it's NOT true "Old World Italian" Neapolitan pizza.

How about... "Authentic Chicago Style pizza"? Again, it's simply the way Chicago likes pizza... deep-dish and chewy...
But it's NOT "Old World Italian" Neapolitan pizza.

Here's an interesting one... "Authentic Italian pizza". True Authentic Italian pizza requires specific criteria. How do you
really KNOW whether or not it is truly Authentic Old World Italian Neapolitan pizza? Well here are a few facts you should know.

Italian Neapolitan pizza came in to existence in 1889 in Naples, Italy. Created by a famous “Pizzaiolo (Pizza Chef) for Queen Margherita.
Pizza was baked directly on the deck of an open hearth in a coal or wood-fired custom-built brick oven, as shown in the picture above.
You’re able to see the coal or wood burning in the back of the oven. You’re also able to see your pizza from the moment it is dropped on
the deck until it is removed, usually anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes!

These ovens reach temperatures anywhere from 700 to 1000+ degrees. Although some “charring” around the crust oftentimes occurs,
it is part of the “Old World” charm and flavor. For many, this “Old World” baking is not simple. It takes know-how, care, dedication and
professionalism. That's exactly how we bake our pizza's at Corky's. Baking with any other oven is simply NOT authentic "Old World Italian Neapolitan pizza."

DeckOven2.jpg

Pictured above is a typical Deck Oven.

This oven was designed to be simple and easy. It operates with either gas or electric and doesn't require special baking skills... and very popular in America.

If your pizza is baked in a "Deck Oven" it is NOT
Authentic "Old World Italian" Neapolitan pizza.

ConveyerOven2.jpg

Pictured above is a "conveyer belt oven".

This oven was designed to be even simpler and easier than the deck oven. It also operates on gas or electric and can be operated by literally anyone. It is used by almost all of the pizza chains for baking typical "Fast-Food" American pizza.

If your pizza is baked in a “conveyer belt oven” it is certainly NOT authentic "Old World Italian" Neapolitan pizza.

Although the "baking" process is one of the most important components of producing a quality product it doesn't stop with an "Old World" coal or wood-fired brick oven. It has been said that "not all brick oven baked pizza's are created equal". With that said, let's move on to the next issue...

Next... what about the sauce. Most pizza is made with a prepared canned "pizza sauce" and "doctored" with dry seasoning. This is typical American "Fast-Food" pizza.

Unless your pizzeria is grinding select Italian peeled plum or pear tomato's right from scratch... like the famous Plum tomato's grown in the San Marzano valley of Italy... then seasoning the ground up tomato's with "fresh herbs"... it's NOT authentic Italian Neapolitan pizza!
That's exactly what we do at Corky's.

Next, let's talk about the dough or the crust. Another very important component of a high quality product.

Many pizzeria's use a "high gluten" flour. A high gluten allows for more flexibility in stretching or tossing the dough for a visual effect.

Unfortunately dough made from high gluten flour is very chewey, almost like chewing bubble gum. Your jaw gets tired after a while. We believe in less gluten, less show, and tasty and tender to the bite. Made with an "Old World" family receipe that is simply divine.

_tCopyofOvenBS101White.jpg

Let's talk about the olive oil. I'm sure you've heard the "trigger" words before... "Extra Virgin" olive oil... even "Extra, Extra Virgin olive oil"!

Bottom line is... the all important key phrase is "First-Cold Pressing"... or "First Cold-Pressed". Which means no heat filtering or heat processing.

Translation... if you put a glass of olive oil in the fridge it will coagulate and become solidified... "First-Cold Pressed olive oil will remain liquid for some time... and the flavor is simply unmatched and it is simply better for us. It's all we use at Corky's.

High quality Premium toppings are another very important component. Read about our toppings on the "CORKY'S TX." page.
