The Pizza Bible

Author: Tony Gemignani

A comprehensive guide to making pizza, covering nine different regional styles – including standards like Neapolitan, Roman, and Chicago, as well as renowned pizza sub-specialties like St. Louis and Californian all created by Chef and 11-time world Pizza Champion, Tony Gemignani. Pizza is one of the worlds most well-known and beloved foods, and everyone has their favorite style. In fact, devotion to one particular style is so ubiquitous that most pizza books only cover one or two varieties of pie. But for those who truly love pizza, there’s no need to be monogamous. Pizza master Tony Gemignani brings pizza to the people in all its glorious forms, from Chicago deep dish to paper-thin Roman style. The Pizza Bible is the world’s first guide to making all of the major pizza styles, filling a hole in the market and elevating the craft of making pizza to that of bread or charcuterie. Tony reveals never before released recipes, equipment checklists, tools of the trade, and details on his favorite flours and tomatoes.
