I enjoy deep dish and thin crust. pineapple and ham are a pizza abomination lol

 

I love homemade pizza, the thing is at home you just cant get the dough right, but we are lucky to have a couple of  local italian markets and bakeries where you can buy the dough already made, it comes in a ball, all you have to do is stretch it out. Another thing that made a huge difference is having a pizza stone in the oven. It completely makes the crust just like great pizzeria pizza. All nice and brown and crisp. A few christmases ago i got my sister the giant oven pizza stone she wanted, its pretty damn expensive but ohhh the benefits to pizza and bread etc are amazing. One day im gonna get a little pizza stone, or you can jsut buy tiles at home depot and make them even cheaper. once you put them in the oven you can leave them in there all the time. Using corn meal on the pan also makes it more like its from out.

 

I agree that pizza from out get expensive, sometimes i get it from jets once a month or so, but i also cant always afford it. And with the already made dough we can get i can make a better one at home. I like mine with a hearty amount of sauce, regular amount of cheese, not too much, then after that other ingredients are optional, pepperoni, onion, green pepper, pepprocini (spicy yellow peppers) no mushrooms ever.

 

I couldn't agree more about the pineapple.  I can take ham on pizza, and I love pineapple, but it has absolutely NO BUSINESS anywhere near a pizza.  That's sacreligious.

 

We make mini-pizzas pretty often at home, using either the Pillsbury pizza dough in the dairy case (like canned biscuits), pizza dough mix, or we'll take a baguette and cut it in three pieces and then in half length-wise.  We all like different things on our pizzas, so we have pepperoni, bacon, ground beef, ham or Canadian bacon, sliced green peppers, sliced onion, mushrooms, and two or three kinds of grated cheese and parmesan.  That way, everybody gets to put what they want and like on their own pizza.  Then, we throw them all on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven.  We love it.

 

We do occasionally order pizza from a place called Caparelli's which has excellent pizza.  And there is a new pizzeria in the neighborhood called Fox's (I know they have stores in other parts of the country, just not sure how wide-spread they are), which is pretty decent.

 

for homemade pizza i like a combo of whole milk mozzarella, sharp provolone and either pamesean, romano or asiago

I so miss Deschner's pizza, I can't find anywhere else that uses shaved Italian sausage and it makes such a difference, and their 'regular' amount of mozzarela/provolone cheese was a thick blanket, with fresh mushrooms, you could live off that stuff. LOL

 

I like making my own french bread pizzas, just sausage and mushrooms for me, and lots of cheese.

 

I had a blue cheese / hot wings pizza once that was awesome! I ate the whole freaking thing!

 

Nacho!

 

 

How about Breakfast Pizzas?  We have a local gas station/convenience store  that has the best tasting one...it has eggs, sausage, mushrooms, and cheddar and mozzerella cheeses.....kinda like an omelet on dough. 

When i was in calif the hawaiian pizza was quite popular there also. i think the heat in fla and calif scrambles your brains. lol

 

ive heard of breakfast pizza but never had one.

 

I have to agree with Pache..... Breakfast pizza's have never been to appetizing for me. I'm the bacon, eggs and wheat toast kind of guy in the morning.....

 

Nacho!

Thin crust?  Sausage and cheese. Thin crust MUST have meat.

 

Stuffed: Spinach, mushroom, and garlic.  Meat is overkill on stuffed pizza.

Breakfast burrito for me (whole wheat tortilla, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, and cheese.)

 

Pizza?  Thin crust (cooked, please, I hate to eat uncooked dough....)  Good sauce loaded with pepperoni, cheese, and tons of fresh garlic!   

 

I have a pizza stone for my oven.  On the rare occasions I buy pizza (as opposed to making it from scratch myself,) I usually end up bringing it home to cook some more on my pizza stone!  I want the bottom to be crispy! 

 

I have eaten pineapple on pizza.  It's interesting and different.  When I still had kids at home, we occasionally made "pizza" from English Muffins.  Kids got to top their "pizzas" with various things (one liked green olives to the point that there was no room for anything else!    ) 

Me, I like proper pizzas Napoli style - thin Italian dough, tomato and Mozzarella cheese ( I have been known to add the occasional olive when feeling extravagent).

John,

 

I've got some real Michigan Mozzarella and some fresh tomatoes coming in from the farm already!

 

Good shape, yeah?

 

Happiness is found in a good tomato!

 

Nacho!
