  • Can't Fail Pizza!
So glad I finally ordered this! I got a Ninja Woodfire Oven, and tried numerous pizza crust recipes. None turned out as I had hoped. After reading the "sample" offered on Kindle books, I decided to get it. Tony explains everything in detail. I graduated culinary school and am passionate about cooking, but good pizza crust is an art and something I had very little experience with. I started just as he suggests, with the 3 day practice lesson. The results were my best so far. Next, I made the Neopolitan crust recipe, which is what I really like for the pizza oven. Each time I make pizza, it gets easier and better. We will probably never go out for pizza again! There is so much in the book I have yet to try but look forward to. This book is worth every penny! ... show more

  • A Must-Have for Pizza Lovers!
I just finished The Pizza Bible by Tony Gemignani, and wow, it's fantastic! As a pizza fan, I couldn't wait to dive into the recipes, and I was not disappointed. The layout is super easy to navigate, whether you're looking for Neapolitan or deep-dish. Tony breaks down the dough-making process really well, making it accessible for anyone. I tried the Neapolitan dough, and it came out perfectly chewy and delicious! The toppings are creative yet simple. I made the Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes, and it took my pizza night to a whole new level. The photos are gorgeous, and you can really feel his passion for pizza in every page. The Pizza Bible is a must-have for anyone who loves making pizza at home. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Truly a Masterpiece
The Pizza Bible is truly a masterpiece. I've been making pizzas going on 10 years now and have learned mainly by trial and error and being methodical. If this book had existed 10 years ago, it would have shaved at least a few years off my learning curve. I own hundreds of cookbooks, and generally speaking, the signal-to-noise ratio is really high. Not the case in this book. The Pizza Bible is written in a very approachable, likable style, but is just brimming with useful information. The typical pizza recipe, whether it's found in a cookbook or on the Internet, involves a packet of yeast and punching down a ball of dough after it's doubled in size. Sure you'll get a pizza if you follow a recipe like that, but it's nowhere even close to what high quality artisanal pizza is about. The Pizza Bible, on the other hand, offers step-by-step instructions on several regional styles of pizza in painstaking detail. If you make a pizza using one of the recipes in a cookbook, it'll be more involved than your average pizza recipe. But, that's why you'll end up with a better pizza. There are several things I love about this book. I won't cover them all, but I'll talk about a few of them: 1. The Pizza Bible covers the *why* part very well. When you're asked to do something, it's always followed by a very clear explanation of why something should be done a certain way. 2. The Pizza Bible uses gram-based, weight measurements. Baking is a very precise craft. Volume-based measurements are a bad idea with baking. Most cookbooks don't use weight measurements. When you see a recipe that asks you to use a cup of flour, you should be skeptical. 3. The Pizza Bible is all about the details. While I'm an amateur, I've made pizza thousands of times (for serious). The biggest takeaway is that every single step matters. This book really captures the essence of this point. Most dough contains 4-6 ingredients, but there's an infinite number of ways to prepare it. The steps matter and The Pizza Bible doesn't overlook that fact. 4. The Pizza Bible covers many regional styles. There's dozens of styles of pizza that exist. While not everyone is included in the book, most of the notable styles are. Having grown up on the East coast and been fortunate enough to travel to many parts of the country, I've tried many styles of pizza in the US. The Pizza Bible does nails it when it comes to covering each style. My favorites are the Detroit, Jersey, and New Haven style. Ok... so far I've been very bullish about the Pizza Bible and have only covered the pros. No review would be complete without a counterpoint. If I were to play devil's advocate, here's what I'd say: 1. Some of the ingredients aren't going to be readily available on the shelf at your Supermarket. That said, the book is very thorough about offering sources and accessible alternatives. 2. I've read through all of the Amazon reviews (as of the time of writing this) and have noticed some gripes about this not being suitable for a home cook / quick pizza night. To me, this is a matter of setting expectations properly. Good pizza takes time. There's no way around it. Disclaimer: While I've purchased this book with my very own money (It should show as a verified Amazon purchase), I am affiliated with The Pizza Bible companion site. That said, I have no financial stake in this book and truly believe 100% of everything I've written. ... show more

Or anyone who is serious about their pizza, I highly recommend this book. It covers most everything you would need to know to get serious about your pizza game and the recipes are top-notch.

  • Book
Book nice dirty and scuffed being in box with leather cleaner. Could have avoided this book wrapped sent separately. Very odd choice of way shipped. Glad it did not get wet from the cleaner. Ugh do better

  • Good Info for Novice Pizza Makers
Recently purchased a home pizza oven. Still experimenting with dough recipes. Lots of good information in this book.

  • Really up my pizza game
The dough recipe alone was worth the price. The book is easy to understand and the techniques were so helpful. I learned a lot! I cook the pizzas on a Big Green Egg. My wife likes it better than take out!

  • If you like making pizza
I have been making pizza for over 50 years and this book is a great addition to your pizza making skills. Full of great ideas and how and why's. So many recipe's you will get a ton of new ideas. Definitely worth getting just for the knowledge alone. Highly recommend!
