PIZZA: A SLICE OF HEAVEN by Ed Levine (Universe, February 2005). Now, this is my kind of Bible. Food writer Ed Levine's PIZZA: A SLICE OF HEAVEN is a wonderfully crusty, cheesy, saucy book about my favorite food. Why, it's pizza, of course (barbeque is a close second). Not the horrible stuff they sell at Domino's, Pizza Hut, or (shudder) Sbarro's, or the deep-dish casserole they call pizza in Chicago, and definitely not the abomination that is California pizza, whole wheat crusts, sprouts, and all. No, real pizza, thin-crust New York City pizza, pizza in the Neapolitan tradition, pizza the way god meant it to be, with just enough sauce and just enough good cheese, charred a little in a really hot coal-burning oven, pizza you can fold, pizza you can love, pizza to transport you to other realms. Levine knows his pizza, I am pleased to say. A Slice of Heaven will entertain you, enlighten you, and make you hungry. And if you are unfortunate enough to live outside the "Pizza Belt," as I do, it will help get you through the dark days between pies. And now pardon me, I need to finish my novel so I can reward myself with a pie from that place he wrote about in Phoenix, Arizona....
