Reviews:

“There's a tremendous charm to the language and art--it's like a vacation in a book.”Cynsations


“…The daylong process that follows will engage the imaginations and taste buds of readers. Arty and amusing color illustrations are full of details that further develop the story, while the description of the pizzas will leave everyone hungry for more. The book includes a recipe, and an author's note provides more information about pizza and this special pizzeria, which still exists.”– School Library Journal
