Excellent Pizza Book

I have been making pizza using the thin crust recipe and the simple sauce recipe in this book and they have been outstanding. The key with any at home pizza is using a good quality pizza stone and an oven that can get high temps. I have an oven that goes to 550 and that combined with an 1 inch thick stone, this recipe works great with this setup. It is really a simple recipe and is ready in a couple of hours. The dough you can get very thin and is very flavorful. Overall, this book has lots of good pizza recipes that use a couple of different base crusts. I highly recommend this book if you want to start to make pizza at home that tastes like what you get at the restaurant.

It's ok

I haven't tried all recipes yet. Just scan through and found out most of the recipes are simple and instructions are easy to follow There are 4 basic sections for this book. 1/ Appertizer, salads, and panini sandwiches 2/ Specialties from menu, including chicken dishes and pizza 3/ Kids pizza party 4/ Dessert pizzas There is not many recipes for pizza section which is not what I am looking for. However these are the pizzas you see they have at restaurant. It seems the appertizer section is more interesting than the pizza section. Kid pizza party is ok. There is just a few for desert pizza.
