Evidently, the name Spiedie comes from the Italian word for the "spit" or skewer on which the meat is cooked.  Spiedies are something like Greek Suvlaki or a form of meat-only kebob.  If you live in or around Binghamton, NY you can probably buy marinated spiedie meat in the local grocery store or meat market.  For the rest of us, you can buy Spiedie Marinade (sometimes called Spiedie Sauce) from a few places on the Internet to make your own spiedies. 

In a surprising twist of fate, you can sometimes find spiedies on the menu or spiedie marinade in stores in the Charlotte, NC area.  In the late 70′s, IBM transferred 300+ families from the Endicott, NY facility to Charlotte, NC.  The fact that spiedie lovers brought their food choices with them shows just how much people love spiedies!  I have served spiedies to many people over the 25 years since I moved away from Endwell, NY and almost everyone that tries them likes (or loves) them.

There are two spiedie marinades that I can heartily recommend.  I have used both many times and can vouch for their quality and tastiness.  The Original New York State Fair Spiedie Sauce can be purchased from www.spiedie.com.  Lupo’s Char Pit bottles their spiedie marinade and sells it at www.spiedies.com. 

So, buy some spiedie marinade, make some spiedies, and make a Spiedie Pizza.  You won’t regret it!

Double Crust Ham & Cheese on Rye Pizza

Did Double Crust Pizza start out as a large Calzone that never puffed up?  We may never know, but it is kind of like a cross between a sandwich and a pizza.

Italian Style Margherita Pizza

The tradition for Italian Style Pizza is as old as pizza itself.  Italian Style Pizza is pizza that bakes in an oven where the termperature is very high.  Typically, the heat source is burning wood. The combination of high heat and moist heat provided by the woodburning fire gives a characteristic taste and texture to the crust.

California Style Barbecued Chicken Pizza

We know Californians for innovation and they innovate in the pizza arena as well.  The things you will find on a California Style Pizza may seem strange or at least exotic; but do not let that scare you.
