Knock-out recipes for award-winning, Philadelphia-style pizzas, wings,
shakes, and more, from Down North, the pizzeria owned and operated
exclusively by formerly incarcerated people, featuring poignant stories
from its employees.
Created and launched by Philly born-and-bred entrepreneur Muhammad
Abdul-Hadi, the mission of Down North Pizza is to reduce recidivism
rates in North Philly and serve up the most insanely delicious food
while doing it.
We the Pizza tells the Down North story about how the restaurant
fulfills its mission to educate and support the formerly incarcerated
while serving dope food. A testament to survival and second chances,
this cookbook offers recipes for the tender, crispy-edged, square-cut,
sauce-on-top pies that are Down North’s signature dish; a whole chapter
is devoted to vegetarian and vegan pizzas like No Better Love made with
four cheeses and the arrabbiata-inspired Norf Sauce, while the meat and
seafood pizza chapter features their most popular Roc the Mic pepperoni
pie as well as the smoky berbere-brisket Tales of a Hustler and Say
Yes, topped with jerk turkey sausage, roasted butternut squash, kale,
ricotta, and lemon-honey drizzle.
The 65 recipes for pizzas along with classic and creative wings, fries,
lemonades, and shakes are paired with cinematic photography of the
pizzas in their natural setting and out in the wilds of Philadelphia,
with lots of journalistic-style photography of the Down North crew
making dough and slinging pies. At the same time, We the Pizza provides
detailed historical information about incarceration in the United
States along with empowering stories from Down North’s formerly
incarcerated staff. And with exclusive pizza recipes from renowned
chef-supporters like Marc Vetri and Marcus Samuelsson, We the Pizza
celebrates ingeniously delicious pizza, as well as the power people
have to rise above their circumstances—if simply given the chance.
