An Impressive Collection

Although we still cannot reveal all the details about this new collection, we already can tell you that Modernist Pizza is as impressive as the previous books. The Modernist Cuisine team has applied the same exhaustive research methodology that they applied to their five-volume Modernist Bread book, leaving no pizza stone unturned in their pursuit of pizza perfection. Throughout the book, you find practical tips and innovative techniques, which are the outcome of hundreds of tests and experiments.

Each gorgeously illustrated chapter examines a different aspect of pizza, from its history and top travel destinations to dough, sauce, cheese, toppings, equipment, and more. Housed in a red stainless-steel case, Modernist Pizza contains over 1000 traditional and avant-garde recipes to make pizza from around the globe, each carefully developed with both professional and home pizzaioli in mind.

The first volume of Modernist Pizza explores pizza’s history, its many styles, and top pizza destinations around the world. From there, Volume 2 tackles the fundamentals of pizza making, such as dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Volume 3 contains recipes for both traditional and innovative pizzas from across the globe. A portable recipe manual completes the set.
