“Budding cooks, dedicated eaters, and culinary historians will
relish the presentation. A tasty overview of a popular dish.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“Geisel Award Winner Pizzoli serves up fun in this high-interest
helping for early readers.” –Booklist
“Pizzoli’s four-color print illustrations—in Italian-themed red,
white, and green, complemented with swaths of doughy yellow—sport
the wry humor his fans have come to recognize.” –The Bulletin of
the Center for Children’s Books
“Readers learn from the neon-bright pages of Pizza! A Slice of
History, a picture book by Greg Pizzoli, who, given his name, might
have been born with an appetite for the subject. Light and chatty,
with blocky illustrations in four culinary colors, the book takes
readers ages 3-8 through the origins and attributes of a beloved
foodstuff.” –Wall Street Journal
“Celebrating pizza as both common ground and a delicious emblem of
individuality, Pizzoli’s enthusiasm proves as bubbly as piping-hot
mozzarella.” –Publishers Weekly
