A revolutionary guide to making delicious pizza at home, offering a variety of base doughs so that your pizza will turn out perfect no matter what kind of oven or equipment you have.

Pizza remains America's favorite food, but one that many people hesitate to make at home. In Mastering Pizza, award-winning chef Marc Vetri tackles the topic with his trademark precision, making perfect pizza available to anyone. The recipes—gleaned from years spent researching recipes in Italy and perfecting them in America—have a variety of base doughs of different hydration levels, which allow home cooks to achieve the same results with a regular kitchen oven as they would with a professional pizza oven. The book covers popular standards like Margherita and Carbonara while also featuring unexpected toppings such as mussels and truffles—and even a dessert pizza made with Nutella. With transporting imagery from Italy and hardworking step-by-step photos to demystify the process, Mastering Pizza will help you make pizza as delicious as you find in Italy.

I’ve always loved pizza. After cooking pizzas for more than thirty years, I’ve also learned that people get very passionate about their own love for pizza. Everyone has a particular favorite, from thin crust or thick crust to Naples style, Roman style, New York style, and Sicilian style. Some people want only the classic margherita pizza of crushed tomatoes with mozzarella and basil, while meat lovers prefer sauce, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni. Well, this book is for everyone who loves pizza. I give you a variety of different dough recipes so you can make a variety of different pizzas with a variety of different toppings. I show you how to make better pizza in whatever oven you’re working with—from home ovens to wood ovens to grills. The recipes start with the pizza doughs and then move on to all the different pizzas you can make with them, including dozens of toppings. The doughs, shapes, and toppings are all interchangeable so you can choose any pizza style and any pizza topping to go with it. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
