We the pizza : (portion title)
Abdul-Hadi, Muhammad (author.). Carter, Michael 1985- (author.). Joachim, David (author.). Lauren, Amurri (photographer.). Trejo, Danny 1944- (writer of foreword.).

Summary: "Poignant stories and 65 insanely delicious recipes for award-winning pizza, wings, and more from Down North, the mission-driven Philadelphia pizzeria owned and operated exclusively by formerly incarcerated people. Philly born-and-bred entrepreneur Muhammad Abdul-Hadi found his true north when he opened Down North Pizza, an award-winning pizza joint that aims to reduce recidivism rates in North Philly. The restaurant was an instant hit, with people lining the blocks on its opening day in 2021 to get their hands on its fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside Detroit-style pies. We th Pizza tells the Down North story about how the restaurant fulfills its mission to educate, serve dope food, and offer second chances for the formerly incarcerated. We the Pizza features more than 65 recipes for pizza, wings, fries, drinks, and shakes--plus lots of vegan options--from the hands and minds behind the mission. In addition to photos of the craveable food from the restaurant, the book also provides detailed historical information about incarceration in the United States, with profiles of seven employees who share their story and their second-chance experience. It even features exclusive collaborative recipes from high-profile chefs like Marc Vetri and Marcus Samuelsson. We the Pizza is a testament to the power of all people to rise above their circumstances. Ultimately, it reveals the power of pizza itself."--
