Lovely’s Fifty Fifty, Sarah Minnick and the “Best Pizza in America”

<p>Most pizza operators know that “Best Of” lists are a lot of hype and very subjective (but no one ever turns down being listed, right?). When we interviewed <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahminnick_/?hl=en">Sarah Minnick</a>, of <a href="https://lovelysfiftyfifty.wordpress.com/">Lovely’s Fifty Fifty </a>in Portland, Oregon, it was months before the author’s of <a href="https://modernistcuisine.com/books/modernist-pizza/">Modernist Pizza</a> cited Lovely’s as the best pizza in America, but it already seemed like special was going on there. In this episode, Sarah makes us a pizza, explains the Portland food ethic (shades of Portlandia?) and tells us about that crazy name — not too crazy, really, when we learned that her business is 50% pizza and 50% ice cream — and how lovely is that?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/PizzaQuestWithPeter">Click here for the video versions of Pizza Quest</a>. </p><p><i>If you count on HRN content, become a monthly sustaining donor at </i><a href="https://heritageradionetwork.org/donate" target="_blank"><i>heritageradionetwork.org/donate</i></a><i>.</i></p><p><i>Pizza Quest is Powered by </i><a href="http://simplecast.com/"><i>Simplecast.</i></a></p>
