The Scarr's Pizza Cookbook: New York-Style Pizza for Everybody

Scarr Pimentel presents his approach to New York-style pizza in a debut cookbook featuring thirty recipes. He draws on his experience working at iconic pizzerias before opening Scarr's Pizza, where he focuses on a healthier spin using all-natural and organic ingredients. The text guides readers through the anatomy of his famous pies, starting with round and square dough variations that utilize freshly milled grains. While milling flour is recommended, it remains optional for home cooks. The book includes step-by-step photos and collages of memorable images from the retro-style parlor. Pimentel shares techniques for sourcing fresh ingredients and making sauce and toppings. Readers can recreate favorites like the Original, Marinara, and Hotboi pies. The collection also covers extras such as calzones, vegan garlic knots, and meatball parm. Additionally, the volume features drink recipes including DJ CK Lemonade, Guava Margarita, and a vegan piña colada. This guide suits those interested in homemade pizza with an emphasis on natural components. It may not appeal to readers seeking traditional heavy indulgence without health considerations. Matty Matheson notes that Pimentel shares elite knowledge, while Danny Bowien describes the book as full of wonderful moments captured in time.
