"When I first met my now old friend Paulie Gee, it was to hear about his soon-to-open pizzeria in Brooklyn. From that first conversation, I knew he had two of the most important ingredients: a sincere passion and the desire for not only great pizza but great hospitality. No one works a room like him . . . You're in his house and by the time you leave, you are family."
-CHRIS BIANCO, chef-owner of Pizzeria Bianco and author of Bianco
"I've never experienced a book like this before. Reading it feels like sitting at the table with Mary Ann and Paulie. The stories are great, the food is inventive yet classic, and the banter is hilarious. I've never laughed this hard while reading a cookbook."
-SCOTT WEINER, founder of Scott's Pizza Tours
