Filled with over 200 recipes, covering everything from how to make the best pizza dough to a never-ending multitude of toppings, this is the cookbook for all lovers of the Italy's finest food: the pizza.

In addition to her own recipes, Alba fills each chapter with pizza recipes from her favourite Napolese pizza chefs, each contributing their own unique hints and tips, as well as different
