Imagine flipping open a book that makes Friday nights (or any night) feel like a cozy celebration, without the hassle of complicated recipes or fancy gear. That's the magic of Pizza Night by Alexandra Stafford, the New York Times bestselling author behind Bread Toast Crumbs.
It all begins with dough—and not just any dough. Alexandra gives you four straightforward options: thin-crust for that classic snap, pan-style for cheesy edges, Neapolitan for authenticity, and gluten-free for everyone at the table. Sourdough fans get variations too. Mix them up the same day or prep ahead; they forgive beginner mistakes and shine in a standard oven, on the grill, or in an outdoor pizza oven. No special tools required beyond what you've got.
Arranged by season, you'll find 52 pizzas that celebrate what's fresh now. Spring brings Salami and Red Onion with Calabrian Chiles and Hot Honey alongside Arugula Salad with Prosciutto and Parmesan. Summer's Roasted Hatch Chili with Corn and Oaxaca pairs with Melon, Cucumber, and Mint Salad. Fall offers Broccoli Rabe and Smoked Mozzarella with Farm Share Harvest Slaw, while winter comforts with Garlic and Herb White Pizza. Each combo delivers a full, balanced meal—cheesy, decadent, or lighter as you like.
These aren't fussy restaurant replicas; they're home-cook friendly, scaling for crowds or solo suppers. Crusts get crispy edges, toppings stay juicy, and salads add crunch and brightness. Picture weeknights where kids help stretch dough, weekend gatherings buzzing with Detroit-Style Pizza for a Crowd, or midweek resets with healthy twists.
Cap it off with easy desserts like Loaf Pan Tiramisu or One-Bowl Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake—no rolling pins or mixers needed. This Kindle edition slips right onto your device, so recipes are always at hand during grocery runs or prep time. Whether you're craving classic Margherita or something bold like Winter White Pizza, Pizza Night turns dough into delight, one seasonal slice at a time. Grab it and make pizza your new tradition—effortless, delicious, and totally doable.
