Brooklyn Pizza Sold Out Of A One Bedroom Apartment
Ойын-сауық
Miriam Weiskind gave up her career as an art director to bake pizza out of her tiny one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, baking pizza was the one thing, aside from running, that gave her hope. She’s been slinging small batch pies out of her apartment since. Miriam loves the art of pizza making and is determined to share it with those who need it most; she sells her pizzas on a donation-based model and offers free pies to front-line workers, those laid off in the pandemic, or for anyone who simply needs it. Her signature pies include classic New York style pizza, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, a Sicilian pie that’s an ode to Michael Jordan, and even a pineapple pizza with a Jewish twist. People can place orders through her Instagram, @thezareport, with wait times spanning 3 weeks to 1 month.

It's all cute but if your moms passed away from covid. Think safety for the people you bake for using gloves to prep food is all about respect and safety for others. You're putting your hands on food with no gloves. Secondly, your using nonfood grade sharpie markers with nonfood grade ink and writing on the inside of the top of the box where you know that ink is sitting right above that pizza when you close it. Why not just get food-grade markers and just write on the outside of the box or just the stickers you give. No need to apply toxic ink inside the box. People have double standards for sure your white is all okay you get a pass to do whatever you please in new york. White privilege at its finest if you're doing something do it right!

At Christmas in my small town, there is a local restaurant that gives out 1 free slice of pizza on Christmas day. One year my mom and I went to get a slice for lunch. We saw a sad looking cold man downtown pushing a cart, and my mom decided to give her slice to him. Ever since then we grab a slice for lunch and drive it to someone who needs it. Love you mom can't wait for this xmas
That part when she said, "So at peace, I feel I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing". If you're reading this and is still searching for that sentence in your life, I'm with you on that and we'll get there someday. What an awesome lady! I'm happy for you.
