There is an unimanageable amount of recipes here for pizza, calzones and so much more!
You are shown the tools that are required to make pizza - from pans to graters to pizza stones.
You are also encouraged to learn the different types of cheeses and flours to use, along with rolling out the dough and stretching it!
There is a recipe for basic pizza dough, gluten free pizza dough, deep dish, Sicilian, pan, if you can think of one it is here!
Some recipes are easy to follow and some more complicated, so take your time to try a new recipe! The photographs are amazing and show the dough, toppings, and texture of the pizzas.
There are Sicilian pizzas, Greek pizzas, Colorado Mountain pizzas with drizzled honey, Cuban pizzas with chorizo, Calzones, Stromboli, Il Fungo (mushroom), Philly Pepper Pie and even Buffalo Style Philly Pizza!

PizzaPedia is a plethora of information on all types of pizzas that are found across America. The photo of each type of pizza aided in making me want to try them, as they all looked delicious!

"Transform simple dough, sauce and cheese into over 100 unique recipes" - Yes please!

I really appreciated the right equipment section, which not only listed the equipment, but explained why it is important. As well, I appreciated the fact that although measuring to the gram can aid in baking, sometimes it can't be done, so also including the measurements in cups would mean I could just use the book and not need to pull out a conversion chart or use my phone to figure it out. Also was nice that a Pizza Stone wasn't the hill to die on, and that there are other options to be used.

Making a dough and having a basic foundation that can then be used for multiple pizzas is also a bonus as once you master that you can then expand into the toppings and styles! Which is always fun.

Now for the pizza!

Some of the recipes are delicious and wonderful flavor combos. The "Brooklyn Margherita" and "Colorado Hot Honey Pie" were delicious and I will be hoping to get these even better! There are some combos that I have yet to try, but look so unique "Philly Pepper Pie" and " Old Forge White Pizza" that I will definitely be making them!

This book is clearly a love project by the author and you can see all it through the photos and write ups on each pizza. Would be a very good book for someone who is interested in starting to make their own pizza at home!

Who doesn't love pizza? One of my favorite photos of my nephew was when he was an almost toothless baby, eating a nice big slice of pizza. I grew up on New York's Long Island. We were German and Polish and I didn't have pizza until I was school age. But once I had my first bite, I was hooked. I have had a lot of different types of pizza since then and I've even tried to make it a few times, but I was missing a good guide. This book is a wonderful guide! Full of recipes and advice.

The Chapters include
- Ingredients for Success
- Techniques
- Tips and Tricks
- Neapolitan Style
- Pan Style
- Sicilian Style
- Thin

I knew that pizza was also regional. This book contains recipes from many areas of this country. There are recipes from New York City, Connecticut, Chicago, Detroit, Colorado, Greek Style, Cuban Style, and many, many others.

Also included are recipes for Calzones, Strombolis, Scacciata, Focaccia , Philly Tomato Pie, and many more.

What a great resource for pizza lovers. I think you'll find, not only your favorites, but other types of pizza that you've never heard of before. But now you'll need to try them.

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.

This review is entirely voluntary and reflects my personal opinions.

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.
