La Cucina di Nonna — The Grandmother Italian Pizza Bible
20 Authentic Square Pan Recipes | Expanded Detailed Edition
By Dnkss Summer
The Crispy, Airy, Olive-Oil-Fried Square Pizza Your Grandmother Never Wrote Down — Until Now.
This is not Neapolitan. Not New York. This is Grandmother Pizza — pizza della nonna — the square, thick-but-light, impossibly crispy pizza baked in a black steel pan with a generous glug of olive oil.
For 50 years it lived only in home kitchens. Now it's in your kitchen, with every secret explained.
If your homemade pizza is ever pale, soggy in the middle, or tough — this book fixes it forever.
What Makes Grandmother Pizza Different?
The bottom doesn't bake — it fries in olive oil in a dark steel pan. The dough is 75% hydration, cold-fermented for 24 hours for that airy, bubbly crumb. Toppings are simple, never more than 4 ingredients. It’s baked screaming hot on the bottom rack. The result? Golden, crunchy bottom, soft cloud-like inside.
