 Good pizza book February 21, 2006
12 out of 17 found this review helpful
I was a little disappointed after browsing through this book. I have no doubt Diane and Tony and excellent at what they do but I would not count this book as a crowning achievement and I'm certainly NOT throwing away all my other pizza books. The explanation on throwing pizza is vague and the photography not of a technical nature. I noted at least one picture that did not match the ingredient list for that pizza. Almost any pizza professional can tell you that you absolutely never add oil to the water or to the flour before the water but that's exactly what one recipe tells you to do. On the plus side, the photograpy is excellent, inspiration abounds, and the source section is excellent. I'm glad I added this fine book to my collection.
 A cookbook which pairs pizza-throwing champion Tony Gemignani with cookbook author Diane Morgan January 9, 2006

Over 60 recipes for homemade pizza are the feature in Pizza, a cookbook which pairs pizza-throwing champion Tony Gemignani with cookbook author Diane Morgan. The variety ranges from traditional Neopolitan or thin crust New York pizzas to innovations from Thai curried chicken or grilled pizza - and six pizza doughs are also the feature. Add plenty of color photos and you have a real treat.

I'm giving away all my other pizza cookbooks. This one has ALL the details you need, and Diane has really done her homework.

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.

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.
