Being Ashkenazic, I can't help but wonder if tasting the new Jerusalem Pizza treat is a bit like eating rice on Passover — not my minhag (custom). But, I guess Jerusalem Pizza is a new custom all our own. OK, you're think- ing, "Kosher pizza? Can't be good." Wrong again. Aryeh Sharon certainly knows how to toss a gourmet pie, and if you haven't munched on a bite of potato pizza (the rosemary makes it, trust me), or slurped the pea soup (even better with parmesan cheese), you haven't eaten good kosher. Sharon provided Jewish News staffers with tantalizing treats, new and old, from Jerusalem Pizza's recent- ly expanded menu. The new items include three specialty pizza flavors — Sephardic, Tuna Italiano and Mexican — new eggplant and tuna sandwiches, Mexican and Sephardic calzones and egg rolls (can you explain the Jewish delight in kosher Chinese?). Add to that list Italian bread and cinnamon bread. Also, Jerusalem Pizza now offers meals-to-go for $5.50 apiece — the falafel platter (three falafel patties, Jerusalem roll, tehina, tossed salad) and two scoops of tuna salad (just as it says, on a bed of tossed salad and with a Jerusalem roll). Sharon doesn't even like pizza. He says he comes up with new items dur- ing the Shabbat morning sermon, including the soon-to-arrive-from- Vancouver, 0-U certified, vegetarian ground beef and pepperoni toppings (expect to taste these in early Febru- ary). The supervising rabbi has asked Sharon to make the names more veg- gie-oriented, so the pepperoni will be known as "veggie-roni." The Alaskan pizza was a fast favorite among JN staffers, with the Sephardic, Mexican and potato pizzas pulling a close second. Everyone loved the tuna sandwiches (a little mustard mixed in with the mayo plus great bread). Here's how the new flavors rated among Jewish News staffers. Mexican pizza Cheese, sauce, cheddar cheese, beans, corn, red peppers, black olives, crushed nachos, jalapeno peppers on request. "This is nice and spicy, but does not taste like pizza." — Julie Wiener "Way too hot. Not edible after first bite. Need to make milder with some salsa." — Karin Indig "I really liked the inclusion of beans ... not a jalapeno fan, but I still really enjoyed it." — Charlie Krasner Greek pizza Cheese, sauce, spinach, onion, feta cheese, garlic. "I feel like I'm sitting in a kosher Greektown. Succulent, strong, yum." — Lynne Meredith Cohn "Great pizza with a little kick from the onions and garlic." — Lonny Goldsmith "My favorite! Very fresh tasting." — Heidi Brandemihl Potato pizza Cheese, sauce, potato, onion, olive oil, rosemary. "Fantastic pizza. Perfectly spiced, so good, that it doesn't have a pizza taste to it." — Lonny Goldsmith Mediterranean pizza Cheese, sauce, red onion, tomato slices, feta cheese, beets, olive oil, dill. "Mmmmmmmmediterranean! Really good. A very delightful combi- nation of tastes. Healthy, too." — Charlie Krasner "The dill was just enough to give the pizza a unique taste." — Laurel Simmer Sephardic pizza Cheese, sauce, baked eggplant, tomato, cucumber; onion, feta cheese, olive oil, Italian seasonings. "Especially tasty. I like it, not too spicy." — Neil Isaacson "Very delicious combination of tastes. Eggplant gave this a nice fla- vor." — Kristen Komlen "I loved this one! Lots of yummy veggies!" — Krista Husa Alaskan pizza Cheese, sauce, salmon, feta cheese, red onion, tomato slices, olive oil, dill. "Delicious! I love the tomato slices and dill. It complements the taste of the salmon." — Kristen Komlen "Without question, the cream of the crop. I tried five different kinds, and the Alaskan had the best flavor." — Bryan Feldman KOSHER BITES on page 140
