Excellent book! So many good recipes. Loved the regional specialties. Especially the Quad Cities and the New Jersey Tomato Pies!
Wonderful!

Warning…..you may try to eat the pizzas directly from the pictures on the pages.

An informative book on the different styles of pizza and how to make them including the different doughs. The author does a detail discussion on the right equipment, ingredients for success, and techniques. The different styles of pizza/dough that he discusses include Neapolitan, pan, Sicilian, and thin. He also includes different ways to top them and explains each pizza in detail. I cannot wait to try and make several of the recipes included.

What makes a cookbook stand out is a picture of every recipe.., straight forward instructions , and a little bit about why this certain recipe was included. This book hits all 3. Bonus for all the kinds of tomato pie, my favorite! This is a pizza Atlas! How cool is that?
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I am an obsessed pizza lover! I can't wait to try these recipes immediately. The images all looked absolutely mouthwatering and the recipes were straightforward enough that I feel confident trying them...and I am not usually a confident cook.

What a fantastic pizza cookbook! This is the second one I’ve read this week but probably my favorite ever. Mumford covers pizzas from all over the United States, with so many varieties that all look and sound delicious. There’s a photo for every recipe and almost always a gluten free recipe as well (the specialty dishes at the end like calzones are the only exceptions). I didn’t even know variations like Omaha style pizza existed (it’s a more biscuit like dough with lots of meat). Here’s how to make pan pizzas, Chicago style, California style, white pizza, fried, margarita style, you name it. Loved it.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

PizzaPedia truly is an encyclopedia for all things pizza. The first section of the book is all about the ingredients and equipment you need on your pizza journey. There is a ton of information in this section. There are pictures to show you how to work with the dough plus plenty of resources. There are so many great recipes for all different styles of pizza in this book. Some were familiar to me and some were not. There were also a lot of great photographs showing the pizzas. It is great to have a cookbook solely focused on pizza. This book would be great for any home cook or pizza fan.
