ABOUT
“More than recipes, more than a story, this book is full of wonderful moments captured in time.”—Danny Bowien, chef
After working at some of New York’s most iconic pizzerias and restaurants, Scarr Pimentel opened Scarr's Pizza to put his own healthy spin on the classic New York-style pizza slice. Now, in a debut cookbook using all-natural and organic ingredients with 30 recipes and step-by-step photos, he shares his ethos alongside the techniques and recipes you need to make great pizza at home.
Starting with round and square variations of his dough that includes the famous freshly milled grains—recommended, but not required—Scarr breaks down the anatomy of his famous pies. Learn the tips and tricks to mill your own flour, source the freshest ingredients, and make the best tasting sauce and toppings, all while being guided by Scarr’s unfussy, encouraging voice. Recreate your favorites from Scarr’s Pizza plus some new items, including:
- Pizza pies like Original, Marinara, and Hotboi
- Extras like Calzones, Vegan Garlic Knots, and Meatball Parm
- Cocktails like DJ CK Lemonade, Guava Margarita, and Vegan Piña Colada
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
