Courtney Dial Whitmore of Pizzazzerie.com

PIZZAZZERIE is your go-to guide for entertaining in style from easy and delicious party foods to daily party tips and inspiration!

Courtney Whitmore left her full time job as a career counselor at her alma mater, Vanderbilt University, to launch Pizzazzerie.com (pronounced piz·zazze·rie [pəˈzaz ərē]) in 2010 to share entertaining inspiration and ideas with her readers. Now a 5-time published cookbook author and tablescape designer, she utilizes her talent in entertaining and food styling to share daily party inspiration with her readers and brands.

Growing up in the South, Courtney has always loved the art of presenting classic Southern foods with a modern twist and setting a tablescape with lots of pizzazz. She attended Vanderbilt University earning both a bachelors in Communications + masters in Organizational Leadership.

Her expertise has been seen in Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV, Ladies Home Journal, AOL’s DIY Life, Access Hollywood, and Martha Stewart.

She is the author of 5 cookbooks.

  • The Southern Entertainer’s Cookbook
  • Pizzazzerie: Entertain in Style
  • Frostings
  • Candy Making For Kids
  • Push-Up Pops

Her first book, Push-up Pops (March 2012) was named one of Amazon’s Top 100 Hot New Releases! Her two newest books Pizzazzerie: Entertain in Style and The Southern Entertainer’s Cookbook have both been included in Southern Living’s December Gift Guides (2017 and 2020) as well as their list of Best Coffee Table Books for Southern Hostesses.

When she’s not creating for Pizzazzerie.com, Courtney styles and creates content for brands such as Target, Yoplait, Bath & Body Works, Lindt Chocolate, Pier 1, Pepperidge Farm, Bacardi, and more to connect consumers with their products in an entertaining setting.

She has also regularly written content for eBay, PARADE, and The Huffington Post. She’s a former contributor appearing on eHow, Occasions Magazine, Nashville Lifestyles Magazine, Homes.com, Talk of the Town and WSMV Nashville.

She lives in Nashville, TN with her husband, two daughters (Blakely & Ivy), and Irish Setters (George and Sally).

Courtney works with brands and companies on recipe development, food and party styling, food and product photography, brand ambassadorships, giveaways/reviews, and company events. Email: courtney {at} pizzazzerie.com
