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

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,
