Pizza Cookbooks and Recipes
Pizza is dish that originates in
Italian cuisine, although
it has become popular around the world, and the recipe has been
adapted to suit country's tastes.
Most forms of pizza are made from oven-baked flat bread, topped
with tomatoes or tomato sauce and cheese (often mozzarella).
Other ingredients may also be added to topping depending on
the recipe being used.
Pizza styles in Italian cuisine
include:
- Sicilian-style pizza
(Italian: Sfincione)
- A version of pizza with the ingredients incorporated into the dough, rather than placed on top.
Small chunks of pecorino cheese are used instead of mozzarella cheese, and the dish also incorporates
chopped up anchovies.
- Ripieno and calzone - A half moon shaped pizza, filled with mozzarella, ricotta,
and salami. It can be either baked or fried.
- Neapolitan
(Italian: pizza napoletana)
- A pizza cooked on a thin base made from Italian wheat flour. There are three official variants:
- Marinara - Topped with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil.
- Margherita - Topped with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Margherita extra - Topped with tomato, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, basil, and extra virgin olive oil.

- Lazio - This type of pizza is served in
Rome
and some other parts of
Italy.
It has a thicker base than Neapolitan pizza, and is sometimes made in
long rectangular pans
("pizza rustica" or "pizza al taglio").
There are quite a few different toppings used for this type of pizza:
- Pizza capricciosa - Tomato, mozzarella, artichokes, mushrooms, ham, sometimes a
hard-boiled egg, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza romana - Tomato, mozzarella,
anchovies, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza viennese - Tomato, mozzarella, German sausage, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza quattro formaggi - Tomato, and four cheeses, usually mozzarella,
fontina, gorgonzola, and stracchino.
- Pizza quattro stagioni - This pizza is similar to capricciosa, but different toppings
are placed in separate quadrants of the pizza rather than mixed.
Pizza has also been adopted widely in the
United States cuisine,
and many new variations have been developed. These include:
- Apizza - This style of Neapolitan pizza originated in
New Haven in
Connecticut.
It is an irregularly shaped pizza topped with hard cheese and garlic.
Other toppings are also sometimes added as well.

- Chicago-style pizza - This is a very deep-dish
pizza that originated in
Chicago.
- Flat pizza ("party cut") - This is a thin crunchy pizza, which is also originally from
Chicago.
It is cut into small squares before eating.

- Greek pizza - This style of pizza is popular in New England,
and was introduced to the region by Greek immigrants.
Greek pizza has a thick chewy crust, and is baked in a pan in
the oven, rather than directly on bricks.
The toppings are often inspired by
Greek cuisine,
and include feta cheese, olive oil, olives, and oregano.
- New York-style pizza - This style of
pizza comes from
New York city.
It is a very thin pizza, and is cut into very large wide slices. A flat slice is too big to fit
in your mouth, and the traditional way to eat it is to fold each slice when eating it.
- St. Louis-style pizza - This styles of pizza
comes
St. Louis,
Missouri.
It has a thin crust, and is notable for using Provel processed cheese,
which is in fact a mix of cheddar, provolone chess, and Swiss cheese.

Product Description: In the course of his extraordinary career as a baker, culinary instructor, and author, Peter Reinhart has dedicated himself to exploring the passions and techniques behind the great breads of the world. His most recent pursuit has been pizza—a seemingly simple food that has been hotly debated since Italian immigrants brought it to America more than a century ago. Allegiances run from the general (Chicago- versus New York–style, Neapolitan versus Sicilian) to the particular (Pepe’s versus Sally’s, Gino’s East versus Pizzeria Uno), and newfangled versions like sushi pizza are extending the frontier. In AMERICAN PIE, Reinhart follows the pizza trail from Italy to the States, capturing the stories behind the greatest artisanal pizzas of the Old World and the New. Beginning his journey in Genoa, Reinhart scours the Italian countryside in search of the fabled focaccia col formaggio di Recco. After a stop in Florence for pizza vesuvio, with its black truffles and molten cheese, Peter heads to Rome to sample the famed seven-foot-long pizza bianca, and then Naples for the archetypal pizza napoletana. Back in America, the hunt for authentic pizza begins in the unlikely locale of Phoenix, Arizona, where Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco has convinced many that his pie is the best in the country. Sardinian pizza in Dallas; the pizza epicenter of New Haven; grilled pizza in Providence; the deep-dish pies of Chicago; Yugoslavian pogacha in Bellevue, Washington—these are just a few of the stops on Reinhart’s epic tour. Reinhart then returns to the kitchen, where he gives a master class on pizza-making techniques and provides his interpretations of the most memorable pizzas from his journey. His insatiable curiosity—and appetite—and gift for storytelling make this a must-have book for the avid cook, as well as a great read for the armchair pizzaiolo. |
