The first half of the book is full of pictures describing the processes of making deep-dish pizza in enough detail that someone who has never cooked a pizza can produce an outstanding pizza on the first try. The second half of the book is recipes from the Chicago pizza restaurants. It's hard to imagine the first half being any more clear, and the second half doesn't bore you to death with stuff you will know cold once you've read the first half and used it to make a couple of pizzas.
It is the perfect balance of educational detail and long-term utility.
I've had this book since 1983, the year it was first published. When I bought it, I loved deep-dish pizza, but hadn't a clue how to make it. I've used it to make more than a hundred different deep-dish pizzas, with never a flop yet. I've just purchased my THIRD copy, because I've used the first two copies until they disintegrated. My most popular is the Spinach-stuffed pizza, although the Greek pizza (with Kalamata olives, anchovies, feta and spinach) is my personal favorite.
One thing you won't find is innovations since 1983, but if you hear about something new, it's a snap to include it. It is the difference between learning a recipe and learning the theory. Get this book, and you'll be able to make the kind of pizza you want.
The instructions are to bake on the bottom rack at 475 for the first 5 minutes, then move the pizza up two rack heights for an additional 30. Luckily, I noticed the entire top of the pizza had been blackened after 15 minutes.
Lamenting that I should have realized 475 for 30 minutes was WAY too many BTUs for any pizza, I removed it right away.
I believe there is a typographical error, where it should have been either 375 degrees, or for an additional 3 minutes. An alternative is that there is a missing instruction to lower the oven temperature after the first 5 minutes (which makes sense as moving the pizza to a different rack requires opening the door, thus lowering the oven temperature quickly).
In my humble opinion, if Mr. Bruno were serious about including a section on pizza history, some mention of Raphael Esposito would be due.
