From the well loved to the adventurous, Pizza is full of Bruce and Mark's foolproof recipes that are sure to please every palate. There's something for everyone: classic pies like the cheese-laden Pizza Margherita and the Four Seasons Pizza, international pies revamped for the American kitchen like the Armenian Lamejun Pizza and the Alsatian Tarte Flambé, light salad pies like the BLT Pizza, and modern twists on old favorites.

I love the recipes in this book, their fabulous and easy to make. I also love the different doughs and sauces I can choose from. The pizzas themselves range from the classic cheese with sauce to the more inventive, like root vegetable pizza, or lamb tagine (both very very good). I enjoy making everything from scratch and the weekends are the best time to make the pizza. Those that are vegans or gluten-free, there are doughs you can make along with pizza topping recommendations. The book has a little something for everyone.

I was not very impressed with this book. It had many recipes, but very few pictures of what a particular pizza was supposed to look like. Probably the best part of the book was at the beginning. Here, you will find a section on tools and pages describing the various cheeses. There's also info. on pizza on a grill vs. pizza in an oven.
