My grandmother had friends (extended family) in NJ that had a fantastic pizza parlor called Tibby's, which now is long gone. I did get a few recipes during that time. One was their homemade Italian Ice which is posted. The other is a pizza dough and pizza recipe that is out of this world! I am posting both!
