Peter Reinhart (American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza) said: "The Legends of Pizza helps us to understand why we all feel so passionate about pizza-- it starts with the passion of those who make it. How can such a simple, humble food elicit such passion? Listen to these interviews and you can feel the love. It's almost as good as eating one of their pizzas (I said almost).." Jeff Ruby (Everybody Loves Pizza) reported: "Nice, thoughtful interviews with three interesting guys...A wonderful document of where pizza is today, where it’s going, and where it’s been.

Pizza! The Movie, A Review by Albert Grande, pizzatherapy.com Pizza! The Movie was an ambitious project to begin with. On the surface making pizza seems simple enough. C'mon you make dough with water, yeast, salt and maybe add some olive oil. Stretch out the dough, throw on a little olive oil, some tomatoes, some cheese and pepperoni or whatever. It's easy. Right?

The film does not pretend to be. There will be pizza fans who are disappointed. After all fimmaker Michael Dorian had to narrow his focus. Dorian has done an excellent job of hitting all of the high spots of pizza. He tackles New York Pizza . He discusses Chicago Deep Dish pizza. He uncovers the Chicago Deep Dish controversy. He travels the country from end to end searching out snippets and facts about the pizza culture. He interviews Pet...
