Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Make pizza night a weekly tradition with these 52 seasonal pizzas paired with salads for a complete meal—from the award-winning author of Bread Toast Crumbs and creator of the popular blog Alexandra’s Kitchen. “I dare you to flip through Ali’s easy-to-follow, farm-fresh recipes and not feel inspired to plan your first pizza night immediately.”—Jenny Rosenstrach, bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians Making great pizza isn’t complicated. Whether you’re using a kitchen oven, a grill, or an outdoor pizza oven, it all starts with the dough. In Pizza Night, Alexandra Stafford presents four simple doughs—thin-crust, pan, Neapolitan-style, and gluten-free (plus sourdough variations)—and easy techniques for perfecting your crust. From there, you can create a variety of delicious pizzas, including Detroit-Style Pizza for a Crowd, Classic Margherita Pizza, and Winter White Pizza with Garlic and Herbs. You can make it the same day or ahead; make it extra cheesy and decadent or go the healthy road—pizza-making easily adapts to busy schedules and tastes and requires little in special equipment. Arranged seasonally, each pizza is paired with a salad, from a springtime Salami and Red Onion Pizza with Calabrian Chiles and Hot Honey served with an Arugula Salad with Prosciutto and Parmesan, to a fall Broccoli Rabe and Smoked Mozzarella Pizza accompanied by a Farm Share Harvest Slaw to a summery Roasted Hatch Chili Pizza with Corn and Oaxaca with a Melon, Cucumber and Mint Salad. To end your meal on a sweet note, there are also a handful of simple desserts to choose from (Loaf Pan Tiramisu, One-Bowl Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake). Pizza Night serves up a year’s worth of delicious, inspired, and satisfying pizzas and salads. Read more

Terrific to cook from, delicious to eat from, entertaining to read!
Format: Hardcover
In her fab new cookbook, Pizza Night, Ali Stafford makes homemade pizza accessible, delicious, and easy, even for non-cook. She did the same for bread with her previous book. She also brings a personal touch to every page - sharing stories, tips, suggestions to readers (e.g., "if you're serving this one to a meat lover, a layer of salami above the creme fraiche works well here"). It's as if you're talking with a dear friend and a real pleasure to read, even before you dive into making any pizza or salad. In Pizza Night, she teaches you to craft amazing pizza, with a basic home oven, and offers a few tools if you're so-inclined. She also offers great tips and insight into working with a pizza oven, for those lucky to have them, and even your grill. The book offers 1 pizza and 1 salad recipe for every week of the year, organized by season. It ends on a sweet note - 5 classic dessert recipes to top off dinner. I love that she offers several options for the dough (including a gluten-free option which, if it's as good as her GF bread recipes, will be amazing) and many for sauces. I've been a sourdough pizza person for years - she's tempted me to try yeast-based and it was terrific (see photo - my attempt at her Asparagus Pizza). Stafford condenses her years of research and experimentation into exactly what you need to know about equipment, techniques, sources for ingredients, and details on working with yeast doughs. Her explanations are clear, infused with humor and personality, and accompanied by mouth-watering photos. A few I can't wait to try: Ratatouille Pizza with Goat Cheese and Basil, Bufalina's Shrimp Pizza with Roasted Lemon Salsa, Roasted Artichoke Pizza with Olives and Ricotta. And that's just the salads. The Asparagus Pizza I made was delicious - I tweaked it by adding bits of chive, but I think it would have been better had I just followed her recipe. The author brings her joy for all things pizza to life in this book and I'm grateful she's put it all down in a single resource for those of us without the time but with similar interest in making fantastic pizza at home! ... show more

I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK!
Format: Hardcover
This cookbook is a true gem for anyone who loves pizza. It’s packed with mouthwatering recipes for pizzas and salads that turn out delicious every time. The step by step explanations, gorgeous photos, and clear instructions make it easy to follow along, whether you’re brand new to cooking or already confident in the kitchen. Ali’s expertise shines through on every page. She doesn’t just share recipes—she teaches. From choosing the right canned tomatoes to recommending tools like silicone spatulas, her guidance has been spot on. Everything I’ve purchased based on her suggestions has genuinely improved my cooking experience. What makes this book stand out is how approachable it is. Beginners will feel supported, while seasoned cooks will find plenty of inspiration. It’s more than a cookbook—it’s a kitchen companion that helps you create restaurant quality pizza at home. Last night I made her Marguerita pizza for the first time for my 4 grandkids & 2 of their friends (ages 11-20), along with my husband and me. Not only were the 3 10” pizzas gorgeous, but everyone loved them, and they were gone in no time at all. I definitely should have made 4-5 and will the next time. I can’t wait to try others soon. This would make a fantastic gift for family and friends. If you love pizza, you’ll love this book. ... show more

I was not expecting this practical, yet inventive, treasure trove
Format: Hardcover
I discovered Alexandra's website by searching for a focaccia recipe. I've failed at making it before, but her thorough instructions were convincing. It was so incredible and fun to make, food science in action, that I made the pizza style version—a raving Detroit-style pizza success! When I saw the ad for the new book I bought it out of sheer gratitude. WOW. I was not expecting this treasure trove of accessible, creative, truly extraordinary ideas and guidance. The seasonal organization is a great help with thinking outside-the-box on the tried and true. I now see the produce section in a whole new light. Her explanations help me understand how a method really works. So instead of fighting dough to stretch, I just let it hang out for a few more minutes. And reading her personal stories about the meals adds an engaging social dimension that makes the book feel homey. I could go on and on, but high fives all around on this creation that has made me fall in love again with making great meals at a time I really needed it. I am grateful for stumbling onto this talent. ... show more

Nerdy details & doable! beautiful + confidence giving
Format: Hardcover
Alexandra shows us exactly how to portion time and energy for pizza success. This is the pizza book that will unlock your frustrations from failures. She understands the science of details and shares what's important: when it's important and giving margin for the home cook can't do exactly what is "perfect." Do you have 3 days or 3 hours to make the dough? Instant or active dry yeast? Cast iron (& other pans, benefits of each) indoors or outdoor pizza oven? She's got you. She explains the nitty gritty like the time it takes to get to the exact temperature of the outdoor oven and how long pizzas should be in there before you turn it with a long handled, small paddle while extending grace if you don't have all the right accouterments and sharing possible alternatives. All the explaining isn't clunky. It's just what I need to understand and succeed. She is a long time connoisseur of pizza but not just for the sake of becoming an internet expert. Her genuine enjoyment of good, seasonal food is evident. She shares the wisdom she's gained from cooking school and professional kitchens as well as being a busy mom of 4 (maybe my fav). She understands how the humidity of the south profoundly impacts the dough differently than in Phoenix and suggests specific tweaks. The book has beautiful photography and lays flat! Measurements are in metric and English. Highly recommend following her blog for other recipes. I've been reading food blogs for 18+ years and hers is my #1 fav. I could blather longer. Just buy the book. ... show more

Pizza Perfection
Format: Hardcover
Flavorful pizza’s. Memorable recipes so good I now keep a couple of Neopolitanish pizza doughs in my freezer. Recipe’s are easy & The Works pizza is delicious. I have limited space & ordered the cast iron pizza pan as recommended by author which is key to a great pizza crust. I often have takeout style pizzas at home now. My favorite salad recipe pairing is the Wedge with Bacon, Pear & Blue cheese dressing. I highly recommend this book. I am having a blast working my way through the entire book! A staple on my cookbook shelf! Any night takeout worthy recipes at home. ... show more

Great recipes--could benefit from a different organizational scheme
Format: Kindle
I have several pizza books, but this was the one I found to be most relevant/helpful when it came to actually making the type of pizza I had in mind. Although I would love to go through it cover to cover (everything sounds amazing), I don't have that kind of time right now and would have found it more useful if the book were grouped by type of pizza and food item rather than by season. (The different doughs have their own section at the beginning.) In particular, I would have appreciated if there was a basic, customizable recipe for making each type of pizza that would give you the basic steps and possible variations. Instead, I chose the kind of dough I wanted based on the pizza I had in mind, then had to dig around to find an oven-baked pan pizza recipe that involved the inclusion of tomato sauce. One other thing that bothered me is that the recipe I found for baking pizza in cast iron calls for putting a room-temperature cast iron pan straight into a super-hot oven, which is contrary to the warnings I always see to not do that. So instead, I used parchment paper to construct my pizzas and slid them paper and all onto my pre-heated cast iron pan when it was time to bake. Moving the pizza at the end by lifting the edges of the paper is super easy, and made it possible to efficiently bake multiple pizzas in a row. Overall, this is a very nice pizza book, and with better organization, it would be great. ... show more

A Visual Delight & Packed with Inspo
Format: Hardcover
I've been a long time subscriber to the Alexandra's Kitchen newsletter and long time maker of her no-knead sourdough bread, and a few years back I started making her pizza dough. And when you start making your own pizza dough you realize there's thousands of varieties of pizza to make out there (custom and traditional alike). In Ali's book she wades through all the pizza noise and gives inspirational ideas on what to make and what salad to pair it with. As a kid who grew up on pizza and salad nights this book is a comforting throwback to that time, but elevated with creative in season toppings and crusts that go beyond the classic blistered pizza oven styles. We make the granny crust (think focaccia and Detroit had a pizza baby) and my kids hit it hard, we've had to start doubling the recipe. All in all it has gorgeous photos, step by step sourdough instructions and is filled with anecdotes of Ali's life that are a delight. 10/10 recommend buying yourself and a friend a copy. ... show more
