Friends, I have a new cookbook coming and it’s so cool: The Pizza Planet Cookbook, inspired by the iconic pizza shop in Toy Story!
Sometimes things just come together. That’s the case with this cookbook, which was proposed to me way back in 2024. I put together a creative outline that suggested treating the cookbook like an employee manual for Pizza Planet employees and my publisher loved it. And then the licenser loved it too!
So many, many days of recipe testing later, this book came together in all its cheesy, pizza place-inspired, Toy Story-honoring glory.
Seriously, I cannot wait to share this with you.
Here’s the official description:
Blast off planet earth and embark on a cosmic culinary adventure: From intergalactic celebrations to refueling after a journey through the stars, these delicious recipes are sure to satisfy even the hungriest of travelers. You’ll find all the basic techniques, ensuring you can quickly get up to speed with Pizza Planet’s signature doughs, sauces, and pizza-making tips. The recipes include everything you’d expect from the Pizza Planet you know and love from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story, including classic pies as well as Sicilian-style pizzas, deep-dish pizzas, and creative specialty pizzas—one for each of the planets, of course! Shareable sides, quirky desserts, and a few drinks round out the menu.
Whether you’re a seasoned pizza pro or just touching down on Pizza Planet for the first time, this cookbook will help launch your skills into orbit. Buckle up and get ready to explore a galaxy full of fantastic flavors right in your own kitchen!
This cookbook debuts on March 17, 2026 (yes! St. Patrick’s Day!). Plans for some book events are also underway so stay tuned for details on where you can hear more about this and pick up a signed copy.
