Pizza Today - October 2021 - 71

I did a black plastic over it, and I
noticed that it reacted differently.
The dough was lighter and airier.
I don't know the science behind
it, but then I started darkening
the room too and noticed a
difference. "
Rotolo keeps a daily dough log
where temperature, humidity and
other factors are monitored and
noted.
" There were no other variables
other than the difference in light
that could have impacted it, " he
says. " Every batch is logged, and
we don't change it that much. We
don't change the dough formula,
because we make five styles out of
the same dough. "
Of those styles, the Grandma
tends to be the most popular.
" We do a lot of Grandma
slices, " Rotolo says. " It's our No. 1
selling slice. We have 75 Grandma
doughs in the rack right now, and
they'll all be gone by the end of
the night. "
While Rotolo is proud of the
pizza he produces and sells, he
says it's the nostalgia - the " old
New York " vibe - that truly
captures the essence of Good Pie.
And he says the trajectory of the
Vegas pizza scene is where the
rubber meets the road for him
personally.
" I'm proud of the pizza, yes, " he
says. " But I'm proud of the culture
that we're building in this store
and in this city. The pizza culture
we've got going here in Las Vegas,
it's unparalleled in any city. Like,
New York and Naples can claim
the pizza theme, but no one has
the culture that Vegas has right
now in terms of pizza makers.
No one has (John) Arena, Tony
(Gemignani), Chris (Decker)
all operating in their city. And
we follow those guys, and those
guys want us to follow. They lead
us. And it's great because now
there are a bunch of other people
coming up. The pizza in this
city is just going to keep getting

better and better. It's just one of the
things that I'm really excited about
and proud of. That's where the magic
happens. There's a whole community
here. The camaraderie. Who else has
that? What other community does this
exist in? I worked in New York. There's
never been this amount of support
and friendship in a community that is
usually filled with unhealthy rivalries
and competition. This is special here. "
