Pizza from the Heart

An essential pizza book from Brooklyn's beloved Paulie Gee's pizzeria that reveals the secrets behind their most celebrated pies, alongside heartwarming stories from their decades-long culinary adventure. This cookbook is a love story between Paulie, Mary Ann, and pizza. In 2010, at the age of 56, Paulie left a career in corporate IT to turn his backyard culinary pursuit into his retirement plan. Now that passion is Paulie Gee’s—a thriving pizzeria business with restaurants and slice shops in cities all over the US. In this highly anticipated first cookbook, Paulie and Mary Ann share their secrets not only for making their inventive, addictive pies at home, but also the lessons they’ve learned during their 45-year marriage and 15-year restaurant partnership. (In both food and love, watch the salt.) This book features over 100 recipes for their insanely popular pizzas like the Hellboy (a soppressata pie topped with hot honey), the Mo Cheeks (a tomato and pecorino pie with guanciale),
