This cookbook provides the pizza expertise which the authors developed in trying to duplicate Neapolitan pizza at home after being inspired by trips to Naples and having the "world's greatest pizza" there. Pizza ingredients and equipment and dough technique are described in detail along with detailed recipes for Neapolitan pizzas, American-style pizzas, filled pizzas, calzones, regional Italian pizza and flatbreads, and focaccia. Also included are recipes for antipasti and accompaniments and a recommended selection of Italian wine for serving with pizza. A list of favorite U.S. and Naples, Italy pizzerias are provided (Phoenix's Pizzeria Bianco is their favorite). Author Charles Scicolone offers his wine expertise and passion for pizza as credentials for this cookbook, and his wife, Michele, has authored several Italian cookbooks, teaches cooking, and writes for national publications.
