finally hit Vancouver and the city has at least a dozen or so places that are serving the authentic pies that adhere to the strict standards required. \u00a0There is in fact an Association of Neapolitan Pizzaiuoli, a governing body that teaches the craft of Neapolitan pizza making and certifies pizzerias as true Neapolitan Pizzerias. \u00a0Roberto Caporuscio is the current US President of the association. \u00a0Previously a cheesemaker, Caporuscio trained in Naples and now calls New York home. \u00a0He&#8217;s the chef at two restaurants In New York that have been rated &#8220;#1 in Pizza in New York&#8221; by New York Magazine as well as in the top 25 &#8220;Best Pizza Places in the U.S.&#8221; by the Food Network; Keste Pizza &amp; Vino and Don Antonio by Starita Pizzeria.<\/p>\n<p>Caporuscio certifies the chefs at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.famoso.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Famoso Pizzeria<\/a> and made a trip in to Vancouver to catch up with Commercial Drive&#8217;s Chef Don Letendre to present a delightful meal including the Pizza Del Papa &#8220;Pope&#8217;s Pizza&#8221; that was actually sanctioned by Pope Jean Paul II (so it can&#8217;t be sinful) as well as present the procedures behind pizza making.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_6800\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/37519564@N03\/9290820980\/\" rel=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

tossing the pizza dough up in the air for this chef.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_6774\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/37519564@N03\/9290036160\/\" rel=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

where crafted with fior-di-latte cheese, wrapped with prosciutto and baked in a Campania flavourful tomato sauce that required a spoon to finish as I couldn&#8217;t leave a drop on the

Pizza Del Papa, made in the colours of the Vatican and truly certified by the Pope. \u00a0Butternut squash creama served in place of tomato sauce and smoked mozzarella, peppers, zucchini, basil and olive oil completed the tasty pie.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_6825\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/37519564@N03\/9290882670\/\" rel=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Pizza Del Re was spread with a truffle spread, topped with mushrooms, prosciutto di parma, fior-di-latte, and olive oil. \u00a0The truffle flavour was delicate and definitely not the fake oil that is often used. \u00a0This is one of the top pizzas that I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of biting into.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_6838\"

of a scoop of ice cream. \u00a0I went with salted caramel, but nutella or vanilla were options. \u00a0Can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve not tried this before. \u00a0And it cuts down on

meet Chef Caporuscio. \u00a0I may not make it to Naples for the training, but my home pizza skills have improved. \u00a0Now to get to New York to check out his pizzas there.<\/p>\n<p><a
