I bet it increases your chances of having a heart attack due to cholesterol problems, hehe.

Pizza and beer fight cancer. Yeah baby!!!

I bet it does too. That's why you need to drink red wine with your pizza. :)

Ooooh OK, sounds good to me. :-D

Cool. I highly recommend Spiros in Gig Harbor, and for delivery, Pizza Time blows Dominos/Pizza Hut etc out of the water.

Thanks for the tips. I am always looking for new places to try. Recently tried out Trackside Pizza in Puyallup. Good pizza but very very expensive. Could have had dinner at at the Outback for the same price.

Recently tried Fellini's up on 6th Ave. in Tacoma. It was good. Aversanos in Sumner makes a pretty mean pizza. I think one of the best pizzas ever was the "The Edge" from Pizza Hut. Super thin crust and it had some special seasoning on it that was out of this world. Of course they stopped making it.

As for frozen, I love California Kitchen's pizzas. Well as you can see I could go and on about pizza. Good thread.

Can you believe this guy is 97?

My serious home made pizza recipe:

Make a patch of bread-maker dough the day before (buy a machine for $39.) Put it in the fridge to rest overnight (oil the bowl, cover with Saran Wrap.)

Next day. Put pizza stone in oven (if you aren't willing to buy this, you deserve a lifetime of bad pizza). Preheat oven to HIGHEST (not broil) setting. 500-550F.

Make sauce. Take a large (28 oz) can of stewed tomatoes, and simmer until it is tomato paste (break up the pieces and smash them in the pot) You can add you seasonings, especially oregano. Prepare meat, veg. Slice onions and peppers thinly. Grate cheese.

Stretch out dough on a a wood peel (paddle) that has beet generously dusted with cornmeal. The grains should act like ball bearings that allow the dough to slide as you shuffle the paddle.

Make pizza. State with sauce to edges, then meat (pre-cooked), then cheese, then veg. (If you are not too heavy with cheese, it can go last, or half under veg, half over.) Drizzle with a little olive oil (important, this makes cheese brown and sizzle.

Shake to make sure it isn't stuck to peel. (Apply corn meal to trouble spots)

Slide onto stone in over. Check at 8 minutes, finished about 10 minutes. The crust will get nice and brown on the edges, and the bottom will be crisp. Check if one edge is getting browner, and rotate 180 degrees if so.

Place on cutting board, and cut the first "round" of slices. remove the hot stone from oven, place on stove top. Put uncut remainder on stone to stay crisp or get crisper (unless the bottom is as brown as you like it.) After finishing the fist round, slide remainder onto cutting board and slice up.

Simple!
