With Passione Pizza, Luca and Salla-Maria Platania open the door to a world where pizza is far more than just a quick dish—it's an art form, a craft, a passion. This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to bake pizza at home—with know-how, patience, and a keen sense of flavor.

The first part of the book is entirely dedicated to the dough: the ingredients, the techniques, and the process behind it – explained clearly, up-to-date, and perfectly tailored to the home kitchen. In the second part, Luca presents his original, creative pizza recipes that challenge and inspire both novices and experienced home cooks.

Passione Pizza is aimed at true pizza enthusiasts who are willing to follow recipes precisely and bake with dedication—but also at anyone who enjoys pizza with a more relaxed attitude. Because this book shows that pizza is no longer a trend of the past, but an expression of creativity, craftsmanship, and personality.

Luca and Salla-Maria Platania – an Italian-Finnish couple – have significantly shaped Finnish pizza culture over the past ten years. They brought the concept of pizza al taglio romana to Finland back in 2012 and have since continued to share their passion with various projects. Together, they also collaborated on the Finnish bestseller Pizze .
