"I love this book, though be warned - it's not exactly a regular cookbook. The first half is a bit of a travelogue and personal journey as Peter seeks out different types of pizza around the world, trying to capture some of the flavours of his youth and of the history of pizza. The second half consists of recipes which recreate the various pizzas he was impressed with in his travels.
I really liked this mix; it provides a context to his abiding interest in pizza and also provides a useful perspective - there's no one perfect pizza as there are so many different and good variations out there. Peter has excellent taste, and makes a great tour guide."
"For the dough recipes alone, this book gets 5 stars. The tale of a search around the world for great pizza is entertaining and enlightening. I must admit, the sauce recipes are not so great. I did only try the tomato based sauces, because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to pizza. Red sauce, cheese, meat, veggies. I do like BBQ sauce on occasion, but that becomes almost something different entirely. Luckily, I was able to develop what I believe is the perfect pizza sauce on my own. At least it's perfect for my tastes, and very simple.
In any case, thanks to this book and the dough recipes it contains, as well as the techniques, I have stopped ordering out for pizza. It's really, truly that good."
"In the never ending hunt for pizza perfection...we made Peter's crust then added home-grown roma tomatoes & basil. Awesome! This guy knows his dough."
"I learned I need a hearth insert for our gas oven and, furthermore, that I cannot delay another year the building of a brick dome oven in our backyard. The hearth insert came and it rocks. Pizzas in 6 minutes and better than the Neapolitan Punch pizza place in St. Paul (more consistently cooked not mushy in the middle). Opened my eyes to grilling pizza over hardwood charcoal on the Weber. Great stuff."
