Reception
Kirkus Book Reviews wrote: "What leaps from the page, with a dancer’s grace, is the warmth and imagination wrapped in an act of kindness and tuned- in parenting. As always, Steig’s illustrations are a natural—an organic—part of the story, whether Pete’s a pizza, or not." Publishers Weekly commented that the story was simple, and concluded that "amiable quality of Steig's easy pizza recipe will amuse chef and entree alike". Similarly, Common Sense Media called the story simple, and stated that the artwork was a "light wash of watercolor", complimenting the illustration of the characters' faces.
