I can make pizza better at home too, but it IS a lot of cleanup, and sadly my youngest prefers takeout. I don't know what his deal is but he's rejected homemade the last couple times.

Probably, but not worth forcing your kids to wait hungry for a couple of hours on a school night.
OP, save husband's pizza for weekends, when he can start the process at 3pm. Sounds like the kind of pizza he insists upon is not a school night dinner.
Also, your DH is an insufferable donkey. Does he really want his kids to associate his pizza with feeling hangry?

I’m so sorry your husband is opposed to trash take out.

It must be exhausting to be you. And even more exhausting to be around you.

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.

Who died and made you the judge of all pizza?

Tell me it's a quality product.

It is a quality product. There. Whatcha gonna do?

I’m going to discount your opinion on food, now and forever. You’re like a pig facedown in the slops, grunting happily because you think your garbage is something special.

Yeah, and you’re a just a phony who thinks they’re a “foodie” because they’re dumb enough to pay $30 for a tiny “artisan” pie with a charred crust. Fools and their money…..

Sorry, no. I live in NYC and can get a large, fantastic pie for $26, as I did just last week. But you've obviously chosen to live in a suburban hellhole so I guess maybe Papa John's really is the best that the DMV sticks can offer you.

Are you the “quality product” PP?

Nope. Different person. A lot of us are aware that Papa John’s is disgusting.

I make enough dough and use one yeast pack (add 2 cups of water + 4 cups of flour) to yield 2 sheet pan pizzas. I leave the dough in the fridge and always have shredded mozzarella and pepperoni slices. It take me 13 minutes at 500 degrees. Very simple. Your husband needs to prep in advance as others have written. Oh, I use a very small amount of jarred sauce. My husband likes my pizzas better than the chain ones.

It's fine to be a snob about stuff, it's not fine to impose that on everyone else. No one's making him eat the pizza.

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!

Yeah, if this guy was prepping his stuff beforehand. He's not and that's the whole issue. If this guy was making pizza in time for dinner, this wouldn't be a problem. He's making everyone wait.

Keep ordering pizza until he grows up

I like it and I will order it if I feel like.
