May 2025
From the fair to the water park, fried dough is always a hit. So ahead of the summer season, Chris Decker offered an elevated look at one of summer’s hottest treats: fried pizza dough.
As usual, the pizzaiolo kicks it up a notch by adding whipped ricotta, Sicilian oranges, chopped pistachios and quince syrup.

Chris Decker, founding pizzaiolo and partner at Truly Pizza, in Dana Point, California, makes some of the most show-stopping pies in the business. In addition to drooling over his creations on Instagram at @everythingbutanchovies, Pizza Today readers are lucky enough to get a monthly window into the mind of an artist via Decker's magazine column, On Deck.
