Book Overview
Team five-time world pizza-throwing champion Tony Gemignani with acclaimed cookbook author Diane Morgan and the result is a cookbook that will turn any home kitchen into the best pizzeria in town. There are over 60 selections on the menu, including the thick, rounded-edge crust of classic Neapolitan pizza Margherita, the thin crust New Yorkstyle Italian Sausage and Three Pepper Pizza, and the stick-to-your-ribs, deep-dish kind, smothered in spinach and mozzarella. There are also plenty of new-fangled pizzas: layered with Thai curry flavored chicken or pineapple; cooked on the grill; even quick and easy versions using storebought crust. Aficionados will find six pizza dough recipes ready to suit anyone's crust preferences. Tips for proper use of such related gear as peels, stones, tiles, pans, grills, and ovens make this a complete pizza package. And with step-by-step dough tossing instructions from Tony himself, it's clear: When it comes to pizza Pizza delivers.

Love all of the recipes in this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I took a pizza class from the author and she taught us how long to knead the dough, etc. This book is really precise and has several different kinds of pizza, California, Chicago, New York and Italian. I highly recommend this book.
Pizza
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is the best pizza book I've seen. It has a great layout. It really explains in detail the basics of pizza making. It also goes into detail about the ingredients (which flour is best for each type of pizza) as well as information on the tools that help the home pizza maker succeed in making delicious pizza. I love the stories at the beginning of each chapter and the background of each recipe. This book not only teaches you to make great pizza it is also fun to read.
Among the Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have a large collection of pizza books, but this is one of the finest. Besides the colorful illustrations, the author provides solid information on making pizza. I have tried both the Neapolitan and New York recipes are both are superb. One of the reasons, besides the recipes themselves, is that the author shares a lot of quality information beyond the ordinary. I bake in my brick oven and have made lots of pizzas, and the tips for making great pizza were very helpful. The only thing I would change in this book is to list the ingredients for dough by weight as well as volume and add a chapter on baking in a brick oven. The last chapter, a concession to those who want to quick fix, no doubt appeals to some but to my taste could be left out. If you buy only one pizza book, this is the one.
How to make some of the best pizza in the world...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As a lover of all things pizza, this book does not disappoint. The authors cover it all: the fundamentals of all the ingredients and techniques, as well as chapters on Neapolitan, NY, Chicago, California, Pizza on the Grill, Pizza for kids, and even dessert pizza. The best thing about this book is that it lifts the shroud of secrecy from the closely guarded secrets and passes along techniques used by professionals to make truly great pizza. I thought I was doing well when I was buying TJ's pizza dough and putting my own toppings on at home. This book got me to try making my own dough and now I will never go back. The techniques and recipes in this book have taken my pizza making skills up by several levels. I was blown away at how easy it is, how much better it tastes, and how much fun it is!
