Edmund Tijerina: Pizza master eyeing world title
San Antonio Express-NewsWho makes the best pizza in the country?
Of course, a New Yorker would say it's Ray's (and then argue about which Ray's they mean) and Chicagoans would debate among Gino's East, Giordano's or Lou Malnatti's.
But San Antonio's own Gus Nassar, owner of Rome's Pizza on De Zavala Road, is now a contender for that title. After all, he's a member of the 2006 U.S. Pizza Team that will travel to Italy to take on the best in the world.
In a competition in New York earlier this month, he took second place in the nation in the Best Pizza category with his Millennium 3 pizza.
His recipe includes pesto and mozzarella, with roasted rosemary potatoes, sautéed spinach and marinated grilled chicken breast. It's then topped with Gorgonzola cheese. He introduced it at the beginning of the millennium.
The world pizza competition takes place in April.
