Pizza Camp: Recipes from Pizzeria Beddia

Follow the man behind Philadelphia’s celebrated Pizzeria Beddia as he takes you through the pizza-making process—from the dough to the sauce to the cheese.

Joe Beddia’s pizza is old school—it’s all about the dough, sauce, cheese, and baking basics. And now, he’s offering his methods and recipes in a cookbook that’s anything but old school, teaching the foundation for making perfectly crisp, satisfyingly chewy, dangerously addictive pies at home.

With more than fifty iconic and new recipes, Pizza Camp delivers everything you’ll need to make unforgettable and inventive pizza, stromboli, hoagies, and more, with plenty of vegetarian options (because even the most die-hard pizza lovers can’t eat pizza every day). In this book you will find pizza combinations that have gained Beddia’s pizzeria a cult following, alongside brand new recipes like: • Dinosaur Kale, Pickled Red Onion, and Spring Cream Pizza • Bintje Potato with Cream and Rosemary • Speck, Collard Greens, Fontina, and Cream • Roasted Corn with Heirloom Cherry Tomato and Basil • Breakfast Pizza with Sausage, Eggs, Spinach, and Cream • And dozens more!

Designed by Walter Green, art director of Lucky Peach, and packed with drawings, neighborhood photos, and lots of humor, Pizza Camp is a novel approach to homemade pizza.
