Mastering Pizza

Mastering Pizza isn’t just a cookbook—it’s a love letter to the craft of homemade pizza. Whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s dabbled with dough before, this book will help you bring the magic of Italian pizzerias into your own kitchen, no special equipment required.

Award-winning chef Marc Vetri shares his secrets for turning simple ingredients into something extraordinary: pizza that crackles, bubbles, and surprises—every time. You’ll learn how to work with different dough styles to suit your oven (yes, even the one you already have), and discover combinations that go far beyond your standard slice—think Margherita, sure, but also truffle, mussels, and even sweet, Nutella-topped creations.

With step-by-step guidance and gorgeous photography that’ll transport you straight to Italy, Mastering Pizza gives you the confidence (and the craving) to turn pizza night into a delicious weekly ritual.

Mastering Pizza is our July-August 2025 Italian Cookbook Club pick.
