This book makes it very easy to make pizza from scratch and the author even shows you variations to make dough with a free-standing mixer or food processor. I made lots of pizzas as well as calzone and turnovers and my husband loves it. I even double the dough and sauce recipe so I can freeze some for another dinner. It's also a nice small sized cookbook that I can keep in my kitchen and it's just for pizza.

This is a tiny, tiny book, but it holds great value in its scant few pages. There's a great deal of variety (cream cheese pizza? spinach pizza? egg pizza? Mexican pizza?), so you can probably find something that everyone can agree on even if you've got picky eaters. The recipes are pretty easy to do even if you haven't a lot of experience in making pizzas, and there's enough variations on toppings, sauces, and crusts that you can mix and match for ages to suit your tastes.

I do have to take off one star, sadly, because the book needed a little editing. It provides contradictory instructions for cooking in a few spots, but nothing disastrous. Regardless of which set of instructions you follow, the pizza turns out fine if you're don't try to rush it.

Other than that single minor flaw, it's a great recipe book. Go ahead and drop the buck on it. It's a buck! What else are you gonna do with a buck? (Don't say value meals, those are more than a buck when you add tax!)
