“If you’re not immediately inspired to plan your first pizza night after flipping through Ali’s fresh, approachable recipes, I dare say you didn’t look closely enough.”
- Jenny Rosenstrach, bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians
Making great pizza is easier than you think. Whether you're cooking in a kitchen oven, on a grill, or in an outdoor pizza oven, it all begins with the dough. In Pizza Night, Alexandra Stafford offers four approachable doughs to get you started: thin-crust, pan, Neapolitan-style, and gluten-free, with sourdough options included.
From there, you’ll find a wide range of pizzas to try, such as Detroit-Style Pizza for a Crowd, Classic Margherita, and Winter White Pizza with Garlic and Herbs. The recipes are designed to be flexible, so you can prepare the dough ahead of time or the same day. Choose a rich, cheesy option or go for something lighter. No special equipment is required, making it easy to fit pizza night into your routine.
Each pizza is thoughtfully paired with a seasonal salad to create a complete meal. For spring, try Salami and Red Onion Pizza with Calabrian Chiles and Hot Honey served alongside Arugula Salad with Prosciutto and Parmesan. In the fall, enjoy Broccoli Rabe and Smoked Mozzarella Pizza with a Farm Share Harvest Slaw. A summer favorite pairs Roasted Hatch Chili Pizza with Corn and Oaxaca with a Melon, Cucumber, and Mint Salad. You’ll also find a few simple desserts like Loaf Pan Tiramisu and One-Bowl Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake to finish your meal on a sweet note.
Pizza Night offers a full year of flavorful, approachable, and inspiring recipes that will make pizza night a favorite tradition in any home.
