Grilled Pizzas and Piadinas

Great inspiration
I have had this book for several years and has provided a lot of inspiration. As we have an abundance of tomatoes in our garden, these pizzas bring out all the flavors. Made oven roasted tomato pizza tonight. I do find that Ina Garden's California pizza recipe is more to our liking, though. Other than that, I would have loved for the authors to put a presentation on Youtube or their own website - especially the piadina recipes could do with a little extra instructions. Definitely a book worth buying as it'll get you started on your own journey.

Could Be the Grilled Gourmet Pizza Bible
Have made Grilled Pizza on four occasions with this book in the last 10 days. It is a marvelous book with exacting instructions on the dough, sauces and toppings - which I appreciate.The dough is relatively easy to make, it is the preparation of the other items if you're making different pizzas, that takes time. And I do mean lots of time even though the authors make everything relatively easy to assemble and cook - herbed oil, sauces, grilling chicken, steak, sausage, carmelizing onions, saute' onions, chopping that and that, etc... Making pizza is more time consuming than steak, mushrooms and sweet potatoes.Make the dough first -- because it needs to rise for an hour, then placed in the fridge for a couple of hours (for more flavor), then you've got to take it out to get it to room temp... So you might make the dough the day before -- it only takes about 10 minutes to make the dough - it's easy. You can also cut prep time by making only one type of pizza. But I like variety and this book gives you variety.It also gives you pizza that tastes alive and fresh! My guests said it was the best pizza they've had in their lives -- and these were no spring chickens I was feeding -- they were accustomed to gourmet pizza.Enjoy the book -- the authors have put their heart, soul and organization skills into it. Great pics! Great Salads and Deserts in addition to the Pizzas.

What's better than grilled pizza???
SO MANY good ideas.I love grilling, and I love pizza. But every time I tried to grill pizza, I failed. This book is full of great ideas, and recipes.I was told of this book by the owner/ chef at a local tavern (that is known for great food). He said he uses this all the time at home, and he is thinking about adding them to the menu at the restaurant.

Nice reference for Pizza and sandwiches
Just looked through the book. Nice layout and great illustrations. Haven't usedthe ideas yest as live in Minnesota with a late start to spring this year and it seemslike it has been raining every other day as well....and hate to grill in between therain falls. Think if you interested in the two topics; i.e. Pizza and Piadinas on the grillyou would find the book helpful....at least I do.

These pizzas are a big hit
These pizzas are easy and can be quickly finished during a party. Our guests have all raved about them. The dough is simple and very well behaved. My only problem with the book is the number of sections that need to be bookmarked for easy access. For the first batch, when I needed to follow the instructions carefully, I was going crazy turniing pages back and forth. I finally put tabs on the dough section, the basic oils and sauces section, and the assembly and grilling instructions, so that I could find them easily as you need them for each recipe. I also suspect that being an experienced cook has helped as some of the recipes have too much cheese for my taste - or my ability to pile the quantity onto the pizza base - and some sauces need thickening adjustments.All in all though, this is a great way to make pizzas, the results are fabulous, and I may be giving a few copies of the book away as gifts.

Visually appealing and well written
This book met my expectations. Nothing revealing for a well read cook, but it’s all in one nicely written and visually appealing book.

Great Book!
We love making grilled pizzas! This book has an awesome recipe for the crust, and explains really well how to prep for so many different situations, as well as different kitchen tools. Whether you're on a grill or a George Forman, there's instructions for you! The recipes are really imaginitive too--gave us lots of great ideas for new creations. Highly recommend!
