Baby Back Ribs Pizza @ Michelangelo’s Pizzeria – For The ‘Porkness’ In You
October 6, 2010 | 3,412 views(NON-Halal) Kindly allow me to intercept the usual drool-worthy food posts on Motormouth From Ipoh (don’t snigger back there!!) and bring you a community service message.
Ahem, fine. This may not be as selfless nor angelic, but if you manage to squeeze in a little time on any of the remaining evenings of this week, consider dropping by Michelangelo’s Pizzeria for they are running a very, VERY limited time promotion.
Are. You. Ready for the First Ever Baby Back Ribs Pizza?
Okay, this works like this. Every once in a while, Michael (the brains and brawn behind Michelangelo’s Pizzeria) churns out a wacky creation of a pizza. Sometimes as a Weekly Special, sometimes integrated into the main menu (thank goodness The Hog is a permanent fixture!) It all depends on the feedback from the customers. And how feasible the idea is.
Or since he’s such a darn unpredictable fellow; how badly he desires to completely deviate from the tried-and-tested routes of making a good pizza with the usual predictable combination of toppings. And throwing on an ensemble of clashing flavours, yet come together so flawlessly on the stretched/tossed dough baked in a woodfire brick oven.
Baby Back Ribs Pizza – Got you saying Baby Come Back?
The baby back ribs (here’s a good article on what baby back ribs are, in case you’re as clueless as I was) are first marinated, then tossed on the grill for a good 40 minutes or so. Then subsequently smoked to bring out the flavour of the tender meat as well as imparting a pleasant smoky, barbecued aroma to the slabs of pork.
Then the meat would be extracted/separated from the bones by pulling them off (manually, of course). The Vidalia onions on the other hand would be caramelized by sauteing them in a mix of vegetable oil and butter; rendering the onions with an even sweeter taste. The fresh baby tomatoes would be halved before tossing them on the stretched dough; a perfect foil to the robust flavours of the ribs and the onions; lending a tangy and fresh bite to the pizza.
Yes, I think you CAN mix and match the flavours (Two toppings per pizza, please. Don’t bully poor Meg), combining the Baby Back Ribs with another half of your choice.
Since this is a limited time promotion, consider this post irrelevant by the start of next week. I won’t take this post down though, just in case Michael decides to bring this pizza back, or somehow listed into his main repertoire.
*Psst ….. wanna know a secret? Ok, the pizza may not be around for long, BUT the smoked baby back ribs might just be a Special Made-to-Order Item. More news on this soon. *
Baby Back Ribs Pizza at RM39/USD12.60 each.
For the address, location map, and contact number, please refer to the Michelangelo’s Pizzeria post. Opens from 6.00pm – 10.30pm daily. Closed on Mondays.
baby back ribs + pizza = irresistable combination

I am NOT. The food is. 🙂
Anyway, I am just doing my part in strengthening one’s determination. Like the devil with red horns whispering beside one’s ear, trying to foul up a good diet plan. Hehe ….

There are suppose to be black bits and pieces on all American BBQ for those who may not have known. This is American Baby Back Ribs that are slow smoked and grilled over a direct fire on a BBQ. There will and should always be charring on all the pork (we would not serve it any other way) and the onions will be a very dark brown with some bitter blackish parts on them, this is called: caramelizing onions. Please do look up Baby Back Ribs on the internet to have a better understand of what they are if you are not too familiar with American style BBQ’s. We do realize that there may be some Malaysians who are not accustomed to this style and we do hope they will try something new and authentic. All of our food is made exactly as we would prepare it in the United States and we do not change it in any manner in order to keep it exactly the way you would have it if over there. We would like to thank all of those who have taken part so far in this special.

Yeah, now that I realize, I still have not gone there with you yet.
Next trip back let’s eat some pizzas okay?
Maybe by then some new creations would have cropped up.
And yeah, they ARE planning to bring a funky version of ‘cheesecake balls’ to the menu. Not sure temporarily or permanently, but should be a good bet to replace that Tiramisu.

Hi LiLian. Personally, my favourite is Bacon & Eggs. Then The Hog, and followed by Blue Cheese (must add roasted garlic!).
BBR Pizza is special, in the sense that you probably can’t find this anywhere else, the process of grilling and smoking the ribs is DARN laborious,
and I am sure most meat-lovers would have loved to pick on the tender ribs on their own.

reallym bacon and eggs is nice? i actually haven’t try it yet…hehe…i only been there twice. and i accidentally ordered hawaiian chicken the 2nd time.
Was the BBR pizza in Michael’s website? I don’t remember seeing it there. Hey, without James, we won’t get to know what specials are running in this joint since the website does not list ‘special items’! Too bad the BBR special is now over…had wanted to try it this evening, sigh. I look forward to the cheesecake balls, hopefully as good as their previous cheesecake. and hey again…we need notification if it’s gonna be ‘special’ again!!

Hi MMFollower
You can just bookmark my blog for constant updates. Or the Michelangelo’s Pizzeria post as I do update from there.
Or just follow me on Twitter, or become a fan of All About Ipoh. Since I update the readers from all avenues.
BBR Pizza is done and over with (dunno Michael’s gonna kill me for writing about this …. and ended up disappointing many!), but
he promised to add MORE items as specials in the coming weeks/months.
Stay tuned.

Ribs is good, ribs on pizza is even better 😉
[Reply]

[Reply]

We will be changing and updating our website within the next couple of months and it will list the specials before they happen. Also you can follow us on our Facebook page: Michelangelo’s Pizzeria, just type that in the search area and you will find us.
We will be introducing new specials soon. Our Parmesan Cheese knots have been reintroduced and our far better than they ever were before. Now they are fluffier, crispier and far more tastier than ever, do give them a try, we are sure you will love them as much as we do.
Also keep a look out for a new pizza special coming soon: Grilled Steak with caramelized onions and green peppers, it is so very good.

Thanks Michael. So I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for that Grilled Steak pizza?
Hey … do one with the roasted garlic again. Don’t leave them sitting idle in their most pungent selves!
[Reply]
thank you Michael!! do announce when you website starts to list the specials. When is the grilled steak pizza coming? (unless we need to rely on James again here…) 🙂

Hmm …… so James is so unreliable here you mean? 🙂
[Reply]
Roasted Garlic can always be added as an additional topping on any pizza or “build you own” pizza. I do believe we have it listed there as a topping.

J2Kfm Reply:
October 14th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Yup, but many people still skip that extras list and instead go for the complete pizza selection.
A roasted garlic on a blue cheese pizza would sound supreme. 🙂
If not a little too pungent for some.
[Reply]
no…. rather it’s the other way. James has been the only source of updates (with pictures to boot) on this interesting place so far. how about once in 2 weeks update? 😉
just kidding…..

Once in 2 weeks? 🙂 Haha …. only if Michael allows me to.
[Reply]
Actually not so, we do updates on or facebook page: Michelangelo’s Pizzeria, just type that in and you will see it.
