Genuine Pizza is James Beard Award–winning chef Michael Schwartz’s vibrantly illustrated guidebook for creating unforgettable pies at home.
 
Foreword by Wolfgang Puck
 
Throughout his acclaimed career, chef Michael Schwartz has been celebrated for his skilled use of quality ingredients, and with his pizzas, this talent is on full display. This cookbook makes the pizza process approachable and fun, giving the reader the tools they need to make better pizza and then run with them.
 
First providing a clear and simple view of the fundamentals—with detailed step-by-step methods for making the best pizza doughs—Schwartz then empowers home cooks to mix and match ingredients, playing with different sauces, cheeses, meats, vegetables, and more, to build pies both classic and innovative. Pizza is just the beginning—it’s a jumping off point to colorful, delicious meals.
