Neopolitan is a setup for failure in the home kitchen. It's one of the most demanding styles in terms of equipment and preparation. It makes zero sense to pursue it at home unless you actually have a very strong preference for this style (highly unlikely if commercial pizza is even a crude reflection of preferences).
It's fetishism. It's sought because it has cultural cachet, it's hard to obtain, it's 'authentic', etc.
- emptybits 6y ago> setup for failure ... most demanding ... makes zero sense ... It's fetishism. It's sought because it has cultural cachet, it's hard to obtain, it's 'authentic', etc. Totally agree. There's beauty in such crazy pursuits, don't you think? I shared the link in the spirit of HN, knowing this place is full of people who enjoy chasing obsessions that are risky, or just because, or because someone said it was impossible. Long live kitchen hackers with zero sense! It's always enriching and occasionally successful. :-)
