Journalist Peter Genovese surveys the city’s pizza scene-the food, the business, the culture-by profiling pizza landmarks and personalities and rating pizzerias in all five boroughs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this funny, fascinating book, Genovese explores the bloggers who write about New York pizza, the obsessive city dwellers who collect and analyze the delivery boxes, Mark Bello’s school where students spend a day making pies from scratch, and Scott Wiener’s pizza bus tours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, readers learn the history of legendary Totonno’s on Coney Island (Zagat’s number-one pizzeria for 2012), along with behind-the-scenes stories about John’s on Bleecker Street, Joe’s on Carmine, Lombardi’s, Paulie Gee’s, Motorino, and more than a dozen other favorite spots and their owners. Throughout these profiles, Genovese presents a brief history of how pizza came to the city in 1905 and developed into a major attraction in Little Italy, a neighborhood that became a training ground for many of the city’s best-loved pizzerias. Enjoyable facts and figures abound. Did you know that Americans put 250 million pounds of pepperoni on their pies every year? Or that Domino’s has more outlets per capita in Iceland than in any other country?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the stories and tidbits, Genovese provides detailed, borough-by-borough reviews of 250 pizzerias, from simple “slice shops” with scant atmosphere to gourmet pizzerias, including shops that use organic ingredients and experiment with new variations of crusts and toppings. Complemented by hundreds of current and never-before-seen archival photos, the book gives the humble slice its proper due and will leave readers overwhelmed by a sudden desire for New York pizza.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePizza People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePizza Conquers the World\u003cbr\u003eTotonno’s\u003cbr\u003eThe Founder of Slice\u003cbr\u003eWait for the Rainbow It Will Decorate the Sky\u003cbr\u003ePaulie Gee\u003cbr\u003eDon’t Mess with Ray’s or Famous Ray’s or . . . \u003cbr\u003eThe Oldest Italian Cheese Store in the Country\u003cbr\u003eJoe’s on Carmine\u003cbr\u003eMiki\u003cbr\u003eThe Magic Pizza Bus\u003cbr\u003eJohn’s on Bleecker\u003cbr\u003eBest Move I Ever Make\u003cbr\u003eDenino’s\u003cbr\u003eHe Dreams of Pizza\u003cbr\u003eTripping in Bushwick\u003cbr\u003eGoing Mobile\u003cbr\u003eLombardi’s\u003cbr\u003eThe Pizza Self-Sufficiency Center\u003cbr\u003eIt’s Italian for Scooter\u003cbr\u003eNo Pizza Box Is Safe\u003cbr\u003eWorld’s Greatest Pizza Comedian\u003cbr\u003eJohn’s of Elmhurst\u003cbr\u003eThe Greatest Thing Since . . . \u003cbr\u003eThe Pizza Net\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePizza Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bronx \u003cbr\u003eBrooklyn\u003cbr\u003eManhattan\u003cbr\u003eQueens\u003cbr\u003eStaten Island\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rivergate Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559333490968,"sku":"9780813558684","price":23.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pizza-city-the-ultimate-guide-to-new-yorks-favorite-food-paperback-softback-9780813558684","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
