We absolutely love living in Rhode Island. While the state is small, it offers incredible variety. The part of the state we live in, western Rhode Island, is filled with winding rural roads, lovely old houses, and kind, generous neighbors.
While Rhode Island's great beaches often get a lot of attention, the wide open spaces and preserved land and scenery of western RI is (in our opinion) one of the most undervalued parts of this state. One of the greatest things about living in such a small state is that, from here, it's only a 25 minute ride into downtown Providence.
In addition to being where I work while Aden work on the farm, Providence has a ton to offer. Being home to RISD, Brown and Johnson & Whales, there's great culture and inspiring food no matter where you turn.
One thing Providence has become famous for is its grilled pizza. The city was recently ranked second by Travel + Leisure for best pizza cities in the country.
The origins of the grilled pizza are somewhat disputed, as is the best place in the city to get some. Al Forno's grilled pizza is famous, but Bob & Timmy's was the grilled pizza I was raised on. Also, I can't write about pizza without mentioning the new arrival, Providence Coal Fired Pizza, which has ruined more carb-free diets for me than I care to admit (and, full disclosure, my family owns it).
Grilled pizza is incredible. The high heat of the grill, mixed with generous oil on the dough, leaves the pizza crust slightly charred, crispy, and with an almost fried-dough like flavor. A few things are key when making a grilled pizza. First, you need to be prepared. Your dough can burn quickly if you aren't paying attention. Second, you need a large grill. Lastly, you need to keep your ingredients simple.
A few fresh, tasty ingredients will need to be placed on the pizza quickly so that everything can heat fast enough before the crust starts to burn underneath. Above all, do not be intimidated by this. The dough recipe below will yield quite a few pizzas, so feel free to mess up a few times and just start over. Once you perfect the technique you'll be making these for the rest of your life, it's simply too irresistible not to!
