Chellino Scamorza Cheese Price - February 2026

Posted by on

Over the years I've documented the price of Chellino Scamorza Cheese - which...you know by now...is the best low-moisture pizza cheese.  The last time I posted a price was at the end of 2022 and the price was out-of-control with a ball going for $12.53 from Pete's.  A year earlier, December of 2021 the price at Angelo Caputo's was at $6.99.  Which means it almost doubled in 2022.  WOWOWOW.  Here it was for $7.99 in November 2021.  It had been hanging around the $5.99 to $7.99 price range for as long as I've been buying it.  So that $12.53 jump at Pete's was a big increase.  #CheeseInflation.

This weekend I found myself at Tony's Fresh Market in Countryside where they were selling Chellino Scamorza Cheese for $10.07.  $8.99 per pound.  $2.99 per pound drop from the peak of 2022.

Cedar Summit Panorama Playset from Costco

Move over vegetable garden and garage pavillion, there's potentially a new entrant into the currently crowded backyard at the Parrillo household.  Behold:  this beauty.  The Cedar Summit Panorama Playset from Costco.   Comes with 3 swings and a tube slide.  Nat spotted this behemoth at Costco and after doing a bit of comparison shopping at a place like Menards (more expensive, I think) and Wannemaker's (don't sell these type of things any more), it appears to be a fair deal. It is a kit - so I'd be putting it together myself, but I'm up for that challenge.  The real issue is getting it home.  I'm going to head back to Costco to take a look to see if it will fit in Nat's car with the back seats folded down.  If not, it seems like I'll be renting a truck from Home Depot.  Yes, the Babe is likely too small for a lot of this, but certainly NOT the swings.  We take her to the park on a regular basis and she gets a kick out of the swi...

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...
