If you aren’t making your own pizza…

… you should be! I can’t get over how delicious home made pizza is, and how easy it is. Dough is so easy to make, especially if you have a stand mixer, but only marginally harder if you don’t. You can make a lot at once and freeze it. So easy to customize it based on your preferences.
And then making the pizza is so easy. Tip #1: parchment paper. Tip #2: 500 degree oven.
That’s all I have to say.

I don’t like cooking. If we’re having pizza it’s because it’s a convenient takeout food. I’m glad you enjoy making your own though.

And then you chop peppers and onions, slice olives, shred cheese, whip up a fresh tomato sauce, shape the dough, spread the sauce, sprinkle the cheese, add the toppings....

OR, you make a phone call.

Sometimes I'm up for Option A. Most of the time, pizza means not doing work.

Nope, pizza is meant for ordering.

My husband buys the dough at Whole Foods, and then does the rest. It allows each member of the family to get a customized slice. I like how he can make the dough thinner than ready-made pizza.

However it's a lot of work. If I lived in France, my home country, I would never make pizza at home, but would just go to a restaurant and have delicious ultra-thin pizza with interesting toppings you don't seem to have here...

DH likes making his own pizza dough, but many bakeries and even some delis sell pizza dough to take home! So easy! I love making pizza at home.

Nah it’s blah and yes I have had made from scratch dough and the best fresh purchased dough and it just doesn’t taste anywhere close to restaurant pizza

I really like homemade pizza and after making it for over 15 years, we have a lot of equipment and have gotten pretty good at it.

That said, I find it different than restaurant pizza, and I view them as two different meals. In the way that shrimp wraps, cold sesame noodle salad, and smashed cucumber side dish are asian foods I can make at home, but they don't get me all the way to satisfying my takeout cravings for similar flavors.

What interesting toppings would you have in France?

Things that are hard to get as a combination here. For example, Provençal: tomatoes, tuna, olives, red onion. I love artichoke in my homemade pizza. Generally way less cheese and oil than pizzas here. Or the flammkuchen/tarte flambée, a pizza from Alsace without tomato sauce or cheese, but creme fraiche, thinly sliced onions and lardons (similar to bacon). Italian seafood pizza, although I suppose you can find it here too, but it's less popular.

Love that for you. Your experience isn’t universal and not everyone wants the same. Having said that, kudos to you!

NP. If only we had tuna on pizza. Then it would be so good.

Do you have a recipe that you're willing to share?
