About

Justin Ryan Books launched in early 2016 as The Pizza Log Book. Now part of a larger series of 4 food & drink related books, The Pizza Log Book was born out of my love for pizza and my love for note and memo books.

Having grown up on the east coast (New Jersey, represent!), I frequented dozens of Italian restaurants and pizza joints. Years before creating the books, I started thinking about and talking about the idea but never had the time to start. Suddenly, in early 2016, I found myself looking for new creative personal projects to work on and the rest is history.

I now have a product line of 8 (and growing) and produce everything by hand out of my home office and garage.
