5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PIZZA BOOK FOR BEGINNERS!, June 30, 1998

By A Customer

My Chicago born husband LOVES pizza. He would eat it 3 times a day, every day if I let him. To cut costs I thought I would try making pizza at home. I followed Mr. Foods ideas and recipies and now I make great pizza. He has a fabulous recipie for no cook pizza sauce. I can make a pizza, start to finish in one hour, and that includes the rising of the dough. Now my husband is happy and I am happy to spend $3 for a pizza that costs $13 to order in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make great pizza in your own kitchen., January 14, 2003

By	Patricia R. Andersen "redheaded booklover" (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

My sons would eat pizza evey day, probably all day if they could get away with it. Delivery pizza, depending upon your area, can be expensive and some aren't very good. Or suppose you'd rather have deep dish pizza? This is the book for you!

Mr Food (Art Ginsburg) has over a hundred recipes for various pizzas - some you don't even have to use yeast for the recipe. And all the recipes have instructions that are clear and concise, making sure you know every step of the way what you are doing.

My all time favorite recipe in this book is the deep dish pizza recipe. I toss the stuff in the bread machine and let the machine do the work up to the baking part. Sometimes I add extra garlic or Parmesan cheese or even Italian sausage. Sometimes I use the recipe to actually make deep dish pizza. Often I use it to make our favorite breadsticks and it is just wonderful to use either way.

And if you're not a deep dish fan? Don't worry, there's lots of other recipes for you to try and enjoy. And it sure is a lot less expensive that calling out for pizza - in the time it takes you to whip up one of these recipes, the pizza guy will just be getting lost on his way to your place. So buy this book to save a few bucks and eat better pizza - it's definitely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it almost every week!, May 24, 2003

By A Customer

This is a well used and most appreciated addition to my cookbook library. I use it nearly every week. I can make old standbys for my kids and more 'grown up' pizzas for my husband and myself. Most recipes are fast and easy, and the results are great. Pizza is more that the usual cheese and tomato creations we're used to, and Mr. Food shows us how to enjoy all that variety while still having a life.
