OP here, I think this is it. For some reason he’s fixated on how good his own pizza is and nothing else will do.

To the other posters who asked why I don’t just order the pizza, I did this once, and he whined through the whole meal and afterwards that take out is terrible and we don’t appreciate good pizza. It was exhausting and I decided it wasn’t worth dealing with in the future.

Men, when you are wondering why your wife doesn't want to have sex with you, reflect on things like this. lol.

Well, Papa John's is just crap. Anyone should feel offended by such awful pizza.

Snob.

Tell me with a straight face that you think Papa John's is a quality product.

NP. I’ll eat Papa Johns when I’m hungry vs. waiting for some precious manbaby to make his very special pizza 2 hours from now, for sure

I love making pizza. I used to work at a pizza place and I like experimenting. I make roasted peppers or caramelized onions. One time I made fresh mozzarella. Trick is I did it over a few days and had my stone in the oven and heating by 4 PM for dinner.

But even just making a few pies, you can do one in the oven on your pizza stone at a time, even with everything 100% ready to go and oven preheated
making a few pies tales a solid 30 minutes.

So even as someone who likes tinkering with pizza, I think this guy's being a baby.

I doubt those are the only two options...

Order it again. “We are hungry. We want pizza right now. If you don’t want to eat it, that’s fine. Go hungry, eat something else, whatever. But don’t ruin our meal by complaining.”

I prefer my homemade pizza. I have an OONi oven and it makes far better pizza than we get elsewhere but it’s a commitment so we do bring in regularly. It really has ruined takeout pizza for me though. What I’ve realized is that I can actually make extra pizzas and freeze them and then reheat. Not quite as good as fresh but still good and a fast dinner.

As the adult tasked with all meals, I’m always happy to have a night off so if DH offers takeout, I’ll say yes!

He makes a very good pizza we all agree, but sometimes our kids and myself want to get take out and not have to deal with dishes, kitchen clean up, etc. DH flat out refuses this and always says that his pizza is by far better than any take out options. it's frustrating because even on nights after we've been away all day or are exhausted from activities, he'll still insist that we make his pizza at home rather than pick one up. It takes hime awhile to make it, and it's not a good thing when we're starving and he's meticulously stretching the dough, grating cheeses, etc...

I know this is an odd problem, but I'm getting frustrated that he never seems to understand that sometimes it's about convenience as opposed to having his "superior" pizza, and the kids are always begging for a take out one and only get turned down by him saying his pizza is better than the local shops. We're so grateful that he always wants to make us pizza, but I just want him to be willing to order out at times!

What would happen if you ordered the pizza? Or ordered it when he is working late or out of town?

You have to let the stone come up to temp, the dough has to rise, good sauce needs a half hour to simmer. If I'm making pizza I usually decide at least 3 days beforehand and make bits of it ahead because it takes time and is messy

Pizza sauce is not supposed to be cooked. Fresh tomatoes swirled with an immersion blender, some basil thrown in, that’s all you need.

That's a choice but not thr standard way of making pizza sauce.

Plus even if he was making sauce that way, you still can't get around making dough rise. It's just not physically possible to make from scratch pizza quickly.

The dough has already risen. The gluten is well developed. It comes out off the fridge, and by the time the stone is hot, the dough has come to temp and puffed up. It gets shaped, docked and topped. Done!

Jesus Christ, then substitute some other pizza delivery place instead of Papa Johns. The point still stands.

Are you the “quality product” PP?

I have 5 pizza places within a mile of my house, and DH's homemade pizza is only better than one of those. But he would probably admit that.

Just order pizza - plan to do it on a busy night and let him know it's happening ahead of time so he can feel all his manbaby feelings and maybe whine less.
