Matthew pulled out all the stops for us during this visit. He made several kinds of beautiful, delicious fancy pizza. Not only fancy pizza, but fancy pizza sauce made from scratch by simmering all day long. Matt usually makes this sauce on New Years, so it’s affectionately called New Years Eve Sauce. So worth the long cook time.
