Notes

This recipe was taken from Rizzi DeFabo's cookbook, "Cooking with Rizzi" (Crabtree Press, 2010) with the expressed permission of the author, an award-winning Italian-American chef and owner of "Rizzo's Malabar Inn." "Rizzo's Malabar Inn" is located in southwestern Pennsylvania (126 Rizzo Road, Crabtree, Salem Township). The food served at this restaurant, a local landmark dating back to the 1920s, reflects the culinary traditions of Abruzzo and Molise. Rizzi DeFabo notes in his cookbook that "Nonna Rocco made these Molise pizzas each year for our family's celebration of the Feast of Saint Martin. We prepare it at Rizzo's Malabar Inn during the week of November 11th, commemorating the Feast, and offer it to our patrons with a bowl of chili." Photo: Mary Melfi.
