My son loves cooking, and he’s gotten me to start cooking more and trying out new recipes, which has been (surprisingly!) fun. Right now, we tend to stick with the basics, especially for pizza, but we do like to add twists to the tomato sauce or use infused olive oils on the crust — little things like that that add a little something to the pizza. He tends to be more daring than I, so I’m excited to see what happens as he gets older and we keep cooking together. If you’re looking for cookbooks to spice up your pizza making (no pun intended), look no further! Here are some pizza-centric cookbooks, and even some that aren’t specific to pizza, but do have some great recipes in them. While looking for pizza cookbooks, I did notice that many of the pizza-centric cookbooks are by men, and many are by white authors. While there are Black pizza chefs and women pizza chefs, as this article details, they aren’t as represented in the pizza cookbook arena yet. Hopefully that will change sooner, rather than later.
