Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn to make artisan pizza the American way in this accessible, informative guide to the perfect pie from the creator of "the best pizza in New York" (New York Times). Pizza is simple: dough, sauce, cheese, toppings. But inside these ordinary ingredients lies a world of extraordinary possibility. With The Joy of Pizza, you’ll make the best pizza of your life. Dan Richer has devoted his career to discovering the secrets to a transcendent pie. The pizza at his restaurant, Razza, is among the best one can eat in the United States, if not the world. Now, Richer shares all he has learned about baking pizza with a crisp, caramelized rim; a delicate, floral- scented crumb; and a luscious combination of sauce, cheese, and toppings that gets as close to perfection as any mortal may dare. You’ll learn how to make Razza specialties such as:Jersey Margherita, a new classic improving on Neapolitan traditionMeatball Pizza, the first time Richer has shared the recipe for Razza’s legendary meatballsProject Hazelnut, pairing the rich flavor of the nuts with honey and mozzarellaSanto, topped with caramelized fennel sausage and drizzled with chile oil Pumpkin Pie, a cold-weather pie with roasted pumpkin, ricotta salata, and caramelized onionsAnd many more inventive and seasonal pizzas, from Funghi (mushroom) and Montagna (arugula and speck) to Bianca (white pizza) and Rossa (vegan tomato pie) Suited to beginning home bakers and professionals alike, these crusts begin with store- bought yeast as well as sourdough starter. Richer shows how to achieve top results in ordinary home ovens as well as high-temperature ovens such as the Ooni and Roccbox, and even wood-fired outdoor pizza ovens. The Joy of Pizza is rich with step-by-step photography, links to instructional videos, and portraits of every pizza before and after it meets the heat of the oven—so you’ll know exactly what to do to create superior results. The ingredients are simple. The methods are straightforward. And the results are deliriously delicious. Read more

    • Best So Far
Format: Hardcover
Review Image by Deb T.
I have three pizza cookbooks, and Dan Richter's "My Everyday Dough" has been the best dough recipe so far for my Ooni Volt 2. He lets you know how to adapt your dough for a regular home oven vs. a high heat oven, and so far this has been the best dough I've made. It may take three days but is well worth it. Topping recipes abound, but first you need a good dough. I have been making Pesto Goat Cheese pizza for decades (my recipe, not his) and the crust has never been better than this so-called everyday dough. ... show more

    • I can now make awesome pizza
Format: Hardcover
Review Image by Bone
I am at the beginning stages of learning how to cook pizza with my new wood fired pizza oven. This book has recipes for my oven and regular ovens. For example, I use less water in my dough than if I used a regular oven. The recipe told me this and it works great. Measuring the temperature of my flour, room, and water is what I was missing. Now my dough is awesome and I am only on the everyday dough, the easiest to make. This book told me how to prepare my toppings and how to cook in my oven. It all works great. I quickly made great pizzas and moved on to calzones and stuffed crust pizza, which are not in the book, but were easy to adapt to and make once you can make great pizza. What I like about the book is it has a ton of detail, but you do not need to use that detail to make great pizza. The book goes into a lot of detail about quality sauces, cheese, olive oil, etc. I am still using grocery store cheese and jarred sauce, planning to make my own later. However, the detail is great for knowing what flour to buy, what olive oil to buy, what temperatures to use to make dough, etc. Take what you need out of the book to get started and then move on to more advanced concepts as you advance. That is what I like the most about this book. I highly recommend. ... show more

If you are serious about learning how to make pizza at home, this is the best book overall, very comprehensive and detailed. If you put in the time, effort and money (because you have to buy some pizza specific equipment) you can make truly great pizza at home, better than 90% of the pizzerias in America. ... show more

    • Great book but not for all
Format: Hardcover
Pizza making can be an easy thing if you want basic mediocre pizza. You can just pick up some raw dough from your local pizza spot or buy a Pillsbury premade dough, add some sauce and cheese and bake it off. You technically have pizza. Is it great pizza? Maybe its great to your 5 year old so that's fine. You made them dinner and they are happy. Great job. But if you really want to learn to make great pizza and understand how all the parts connect with each other, then you need to buy a book like this. He will explain what makes great cheese and great sauce. He will explain why dough making has different steps and its not just "toss in a bowl and mix and punch down every 30 mins". No. He will explain what makes great sauce and the characteristics to look for in ingredients. But with that said, if you are looking for a book to make all types of different styles of pizza and different doughs for each type of style, etc, this is not the book for you. He goes over the styles he makes in his restaurant (naturally leavened pies, round and square) and thats it. He wont talk about NY style, he wont talk about detroit style. That NOT what his place makes and thats fine. I think if you have read 10+ pizza books in your time, you may learn one or two new things from this book. For me, I bought it b/c i was hyped up over a new pizza book from a really popular pizza spot in NJ. Did I learn a whole lot? No. I make pizzas at least 1x a week for the past couple of years and I learned alot just through trial and error. Learning from reading other books and learning from internet resources (reddit, pizzamaking.com, etc). If you just want to make a pizza for date night, just google and be done with it. You dont need to buy any pizza book to just figure it out. I see some of these other reviews commenting on "its too complicated" or "i dont want to wait 3 days for my pizza dough, i want it tonight". Maybe cooking is too hard for you and you should just order delivery. This book does talk about the science of dough, fermentation, but it is all written in plain English and he explains it all in detail. If reading comprehension is too hard for you, just get delivery. ... show more

I love pizza and appreciate a truly great cookbook, it is as advertised and I learned a lot from this book. Since a college job i had at Villa Sorrento’s, Banner Elk NC , I have been making pizzas on wood peels and cooking directly on stones for over twenty years and now I make even better pizza!

    • If you love baking, pizza, and have OCD you will love this book
Format: Hardcover
The most persnickety cookbook I've ever come across. It takes 3 days to make the basic crust. The temperature of all the ingredients must be controlled. The author is clearly unhinged, but his instructions are very clear. And it's totally worth the effort. If you live more than 200 miles from a really good pizza joint, you might need this book. Do it for the children. ... show more
