What's the best book for learning how to make pizza in a home oven?
That's a great question.
In my opinion, as a guy who's been making pizza for over 20 years, a beginner's pizza book should be three things:
Focused, simple and fun...

“I recommend this book to anyone who is starting their pizza journey. [Blaine Parker] holds nothing back. So go out and ‘Free the pizza’ in your heart.”

When Blaine Parker is making pizza, people tell him things like, “This is the best pizza I’ve ever had.” But…why? He’s not a professional chef. He’s just a guy who started making pizza at home over 20 years ago.
In Free The Pizza!, Blaine Parker is showing you best practices and basic tools that help you turn your standard home oven and you into a pizza making machine.
Has anyone told you that making good pizza from your home oven is impossible? Don’t believe it. Free The Pizza! shares the simple steps that will have you making pizza that tastes so great, you’ll have a hard time believing you made it yourself.
"Did you think making great pizza at home is an oxymoron? It’s not. And the way Free The Pizza! shares the process is life changing—especially if you have to pay $25 for a mediocre pizza and you have teenagers to feed. Buying your own peel and steel quickly becomes easy to justify."
--Mark Stevens, nurse practitioner and amateur pizza geek
There are a lot of pizza books offering great insight—but they also offer something else: information overload. This book is different.
If you’re a beginner, you don’t need an exhaustive study of the various kinds of pizza and directions to use obscure ingredients or expensive Italian flour.
All you need is some good, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, water and (yes) patience.
Start there, add this book, and you’re laying the foundation for cranking out excellent pizza.
"LOVE how easy it is to make unbelievably delicious pizzas. I LOVE how this books me look like a master. LOVE to impress my friends. For less than the price of that frozen cardboard crap, I can go toe to toe with Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsey and anyone else."
--David Applebaum, Free The Pizza! reader
