Pizza is the pulse of American culture.  It inspires fashion, it influences cuisine, it tears friendships apart.  This interactive book goes into the depths of the cultural institution that is pizza.  It discusses the history from when it came to America as an immigrant dish and its early mention in pop culture in Dean Martin’s iconic song That’s Amore.

It also goes through its impact on the entertainment business like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ obsession with pizza to the development of the pizza delivery guy troupe in pornography.  Amore touches upon the biggest debates pizza has brought to American culture: do you like pineapples on pizza?  Is Chicago deep dish really pizza?  There is no doubt that pizza has a large stake in American culture.
