Publisher's Synopsis
There is no doubt that pizza is one of the most popular foods in the US, cherished by everyone from Homer Simpson to the president. Americans reportedly eat a combined 350 slices every second! This book tells the story of how this beloved food became the apple of our collective eye - or, perhaps more precisely, the pepperoni of our pie. Pizza journalist Liz Barrett explores how it is that pizza came to and conquered North America and how it evolved into different forms across the continent.
