A Love Affair with Frankie's Pizza

By Cesar A. Becerra

Design by Cindy Seip

About the book: Is it possible to find love in a toasty square slice of pizza? Cesar Becerra thinks so. His shadowing of Miami’s Gourmet Pizza King Frank Paquarella in 1995 proves it. Frankie’s Pizza has survived hurricanes, development, half-hour delivery competitors and the ever-rising fast pace of modern life.

Still it sits on the same corner in Western Dade County as it did on Valentine’s Day in 1955, when Frank and Doreen Pasquarella began baking their pizza.

With more than 40 photos and countless behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this book will all but allow readers to taste a square slice of award-winning culinary heaven.
