Pizza Cookbooks and Recipes
Pizza is dish that originates in
Italian cuisine, although
it has become popular around the world, and the recipe has been
adapted to suit country's tastes.
Most forms of pizza are made from oven-baked flat bread, topped
with tomatoes or tomato sauce and cheese (often mozzarella).
Other ingredients may also be added to topping depending on
the recipe being used.
Pizza styles in Italian cuisine
include:
- Sicilian-style pizza
(Italian: Sfincione)
- A version of pizza with the ingredients incorporated into the dough, rather than placed on top.
Small chunks of pecorino cheese are used instead of mozzarella cheese, and the dish also incorporates
chopped up anchovies.
- Ripieno and calzone - A half moon shaped pizza, filled with mozzarella, ricotta,
and salami. It can be either baked or fried.
- Neapolitan
(Italian: pizza napoletana)
- A pizza cooked on a thin base made from Italian wheat flour. There are three official variants:
- Marinara - Topped with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil.
- Margherita - Topped with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Margherita extra - Topped with tomato, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Lazio - This type of pizza is served in
Rome
and some other parts of
Italy.
It has a thicker base than Neapolitan pizza, and is sometimes made in
long rectangular pans
("pizza rustica" or "pizza al taglio").
There are quite a few different toppings used for this type of pizza:
- Pizza capricciosa - Tomato, mozzarella, artichokes, mushrooms, ham, sometimes a
hard-boiled egg, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza romana - Tomato, mozzarella,
anchovies, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza viennese - Tomato, mozzarella, German sausage, olive oil and oregano.
- Pizza quattro formaggi - Tomato, and four cheeses, usually mozzarella,
fontina, gorgonzola, and stracchino.
- Pizza quattro stagioni - This pizza is similar to capricciosa, but different toppings
are placed in separate quadrants of the pizza rather than mixed.
Pizza has also been adopted widely in the
United States cuisine,
and many new variations have been developed. These include:
- Apizza - This style of Neapolitan pizza originated in
New Haven in
Connecticut.
It is an irregularly shaped pizza topped with hard cheese and garlic.
Other toppings are also sometimes added as well.
- Chicago-style pizza - This is a very deep-dish
pizza that originated in
Chicago.
- Flat pizza ("party cut") - This is a thin crunchy pizza, which is also originally from
Chicago.
It is cut into small squares before eating.
- Greek pizza - This style of pizza is popular in New England,
and was introduced to the region by Greek immigrants.
Greek pizza has a thick chewy crust, and is baked in a pan in
the oven, rather than directly on bricks.
The toppings are often inspired by
Greek cuisine,
and include feta cheese, olive oil, olives, and oregano.
- New York-style pizza - This style of
pizza comes from
New York city.
It is a very thin pizza, and is cut into very large wide slices. A flat slice is too big to fit
in your mouth, and the traditional way to eat it is to fold each slice when eating it.
- St. Louis-style pizza - This styles of pizza
comes
St. Louis,
Missouri.
It has a thin crust, and is notable for using Provel processed cheese,
which is in fact a mix of cheddar, provolone chess, and Swiss cheese.

Winner of the 2014 James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef: the top chef in the country
A traditional Italian meal is one of the most comforting—and delicious—things that anyone can enjoy. Award-winning chef Nancy Silverton has elevated that experience to a whole new level at her Los Angeles restaurants Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza, co-owned with restaurateurs Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. A reservation at Mozza has been the hottest ticket in town since the restaurants opened and diners have been lining up for their wildly popular dishes. Finally, in The Mozza Cookbook, Silverton is sharing these recipes with the rest of the world.
The original idea for Mozza came to Nancy at her summer home in Panicale, Italy. And that authentic Italian feel is carried throughout the book as we explore recipes from aperitivo to dolci that she would serve at her tavola at home. But do not confuse authentic with conventional! Under Silverton’s guidance, each bite is more exciting and delectable than the last, with recipes such as:
Fried Squash Blossoms with Ricotta
Buricotta with Braised Artichokes, Pine Nuts, Currants, and Mint Pesto
Mussels al Forno with Salsa Calabrese
Fennel Sausage, Panna, and Scallion Pizza
Fresh Ricotta and Egg Ravioli with Brown Butter
Grilled Quail Wrapped in Pancetta with Sage and Honey
Sautéed Cavolo Nero
Fritelle di Riso with Nocello-soaked Raisins and Banana Gelato
Olive Oil Gelato
In the book, Nancy guides you through all the varieties of cheese that she serves at the Mozzarella Bar in the Osteria. And you’ll find all the tricks you need to make homemade pastas, gelato, and pizzas that taste as if they were flown in directly from Italy. Silverton’s lively and encouraging voice and her comprehensive knowledge of the traditions behind this mouthwateringly decadent cuisine make her recipes—both familiar and intricate—easy to follow and hard to resist. It’s no wonder it is so difficult to get a table at Mozza—when you’re cooking these dishes there will be a line out your door as well. |
