INTRODUCTION

A delicious pizza is no more mysterious or magical than the omelettes you make on Sundays or the grilled cheese sandwich you've been perfecting for twenty years. The same principles apply. Use the best ingredients you can and keep at it. Don't quit. You learn things when you burn things.

When it's perfect or close to it, recognize why, remember what you did, and repeat again and again until your children ask you to teach them to make it.
