He also shares some pizza tips for the home pizza maker and what has changed with his own dough formula.
Interestingly he reveals the secret of the digestibility of pizza.
At the end of our conversation he gives shout outs to John Arena of Metro Pizza, Michele D’Amelio, Giulio Adriani, and Roberto Carporuscio. And Vincent Rotolo of Good Pie in Las Vegas, Jonathan reminds us that he is part of a guild and is still learning the art of pizza.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
