I am a WASP. now living in the Philippines. I learned how to make a good pizza dough and sauce from an Italian Pizza guy in Jacksonville, NC (home of Camp LeJeune). We have a pizza oven and wife is making dough as I sit here and type (10:30 am now). The sauce is made from imported Italian tomatoes and fresh herbs grown here and dried ones. We started serving pizza when so many asked. It is my wife's security blanket, along with her baking constantly. I should weigh 500Lbs.

But, one key for making pizza at home is to get a stone slab to heat on a shelf in your oven. Cook hot... 450F. or more if possible. Watch you don't burn it, but get it crispy. That's Italian! YMMV!

where’d you get the pizza oven? i’m thinking of getting one from Forno Bravo when our addition and deck are done. The BBQ, deck, pizza oven..... will all live on the deck.

One of the last gifts we received from my husband’s Father before he died, was a big pizza stone; but we’ve never used it yet. This thread has convinced me to try homemade pizza.

(Love the picture!)

I cook on a 2stone pizza grille on my gas grille. I take the bottom stone to 675-700F. Hot enough?

;-P

I do about a 2:30-3:00m bake, then finish the top under the broiler for another 2-3m.
