The crust is made from low-gluten flour with some added honey. When I asked the owner, she told us she's never been to Trenton! One slice down the middle, and then 4 or 5 perpendicular cuts. I noted that these very large pies (18" or 20" diameter) were given the "Trenton cut" that yields some triangular and some rectangular slices. The tomato pie and Chicago pie arrived first. I would never choose Buffalo chicken pizza for myself, for a host of pizza purist reasons ( Kenji Alt-Lopez tells you why), but most of the group was in favor.
We selected a tomato pie topped with sausage, a Chicago pie topped with pepperoni, and a Buffalo chicken specialty pie. The " Original Tomato Pie" features hand crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and a light sprinkle of mozzarella cheese there is a White Pie, and Red Pie with fresh garlic and no cheese, and the " Chicago Pie" which is the White Pie topped with dollops of tomatoes, fresh garlic, oregano and olive/canola oil blend. You can customize your pie in just about any way, but the menu features four basic types. So - if you see a Sysco truck parked behind your favorite pizzeria, it's not necessarily a bad sign.) That may be true, but I learned that Sysco also carries some high-end stuff, like Grande mozzarella and authentic San Marzano tomatoes. I've always assumed that most mom and pop pizza is so forgettable because they buy cheap bulk ingredients from Sysco. (Interesting side note - one member of our group sells Sysco supplies to restaurants and pizzerias. Seven big guys ate heartily and we still had plenty of salad to take home. The Caesar sported brown sugar roasted pecans and shaved Parmesan cheese with a flavorful dressing. The salad recipe was passed down by the owner's mother, and it originated at a restaurant near Dallas, TX. The House salad was adorned with toasted sesame seeds, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, and authentic green olives. Often, the side salad at a pizza joint is a forgettable toss-off, but you'd be remiss to pass up one of these. In a 1995 catalogue essay to accompany the major survey of Peryer’s work – Second Nature, Peter Weiermair commented: “Peryer’s intention is to create a few compelling archetypal images that go beyond the careless verbosity of contemporary photography – to create photographs as complex as good poems, which can be read again and always differently.The salads - $5 or $6 per person when not included in a special - were superb. Although there are no portraits in the exhibition, his considered eye manages to give each of his images a distinctive personality. He would often return, or revisit, subjects as a way of processing and percolating over long periods of time.įamilies of photographs were something that Peryer often discussed in his practice and this exhibition is testament to that – the images nod and stretch toward each other. His output was constant but not prolific. Peryer came to photography at the age of 32, late in comparison with other photographers. With the addition of these works the Sarjeant has one of the most comprehensive collections of Peryer’s photographic practice in a public gallery. This exhibition features works created between 20, which were acquired by the Gallery in 2021 with generous assistance from his estate. Like other significant New Zealand photographers such as Laurence Aberhart, Anne Noble and Wayne Barrar the Sarjeant’s ongoing friendship with Peryer was initiated and fostered by the Gallery’s former Director – Bill Milbank.
The 2006 photograph was taken by Peter Peryer (b.1941, d.2018) and is just one of the 180 works that the Sarjeant Gallery has in its care. With the addition of these works the Sarjeant has one of the most comprehensive collections of Peryer’s photographic practice in a public gallery.Ī bright red tomato positioned carefully on a carved wooden foot – curious subject matter for a photograph and perhaps made even more enigmatic by its title Holy Tomato.
This exhibition, titled after one of Peter Peryer’s photographs Holy Tomato (2006) is just one of over 150 works the Sarjeant Gallery has in its collection.
