It's been so long, it's frozen, and it's even burnt.

I ate Sbarro at the mall last night, and goddamn, somehow that stale, heat lamp pizza is delicious.

Frozen AND burnt?
You got the best of both worlds, my friend.

So you burnt it then froze it? that's the only way I can think of something being frozen and burnt.
Ah pizza ...
had some very mediocre takeaway pizza last week (in terms of crust/sauce), so I decided to redo it myself this week with sort of the same toppings : onions, bell peppers, ham & chorizo, cheese (Mozz, Gorgonzola & Brie)
added a little bit of olive oil and sugar to the dough to get it a bit more "takeaway" style, got me some nice fluffy pie with a crispy crust
1 minute - 8 minutes

The baking steel holding up alright? Still need to get one of those. My stone is looking horrendous.
yeah use it all the time, for bread & bagels as well
I only clean it when I'm using it; I just run some water over it, brush off all the char (sometimes with a piece of flat metal) and put it in the oven
I've not used stones in this oven so I can't compare, but it should work just as fine with an added benefit of being pretty much unbreakable (if you have multiple grates you could put the stone above the steel to get dual convection heat ...)
I was browsing some pizza websites/forums to look whether there's some interesting new techniques or equipment, but I think the only real improvement I can get is when I buy/build a real (large!) wood fired oven and reach much higher temperatures...
there are some guys building/selling smaller wood or propane ovens that look like fun, but ultimately those temperatures don't seem that much higher, and I need something indoor that I can bake ~5 pies in a row on
So I'll stick with my setup for the near future
for the record the pizza above was at 275C convection in the lowest part of the oven. I could get it close to 350C by putting it on top and do some hacks to stop the broiler from cycling off, but that shouldn't be done when you're using as much toppings as I was yesterday (Margherita only)
Quick pizza I made today, I made it in a rush so the dough wasn't as good as usual, but it was still tastier than 95% of the stuff you can get in my city.
Sauce was made with canned tomatoes mixed with garlic and basil (and a pinch of salt and sugar), regular mozzarella and Grana Padano sprinkled before and after the pizza was done.
Sorry for the Instagram pic, it was easier to upload it that way lol.

Still looks great.
Even a rushed pizza taste great if cooked right.

Tried making some for the first time today (<- first time I made any kind of bread, actually)
So many things went wrong the whole way and I improvised from the recipe like 5 times (someone almost finished the olives between when I checked and made the thing.. how cruel), but I guess precision isn't a big deal because it turned out pretty great.
Still have 3 portions left, can't wait to play with it and tweak it until it's my preference. The best reason to make pizza, right there.

It's ridiculously hard to find pizza near me that isn't a chain.
Does anyone else love Dominos' Garlic & Herb dip? I found this UK company that sells them on Amazon, even in bottles, but their shipping fees are insane.

I finally got a pizza stone to replace my pizza crisper and my God, what a difference. I have tested it using a supermarket pizza which before was soggy, floppy, pale and generally not that great. But not any more, now it's firm, crispy and even has some sexy dark spots. Easily the best £12 I've ever spent.
UK? Where did you pick one up from?

You'll love it. I have the absolute worst oven as well, it doesn't get very hot nor does it cook evenly but this stone has made all the difference. It really cuts down on the cooking time as well, the pizza in my photo cooked in 5 minutes flat.

Did anyone else used to love this?
It still pains me that they discontinued it. I also can't believe none of the chain stores haven't tried their own variation. Is it that hard or expensive to make? Seems like with Pizza Hut having a different variation of their cheese stuffed crust pizza seemingly every week, they would eventually try this.

Making a pizza for dinner tonight. My grandmother taught me her dough recipe about two years ago and through much trial and error myself for a few months I finally go to the point where my dough would come out perfectly every time. When your 80 year old grandmother who has been baking for her entire life compliments your pizza then you know you did something right. Grandma's rule.
Sometimes if I have a little excess dough I'll make a panzarotti.
I don't have much ingredients in the house tonight so debating on what to top it with. Might just make a cheese and sauce pizza.

I received a Pizza Hut gift card a few years ago. Was cleaning house and figured I'll go a head and use it. Ordered a medium black olive, onion, and green bellpepper pan pizza. It's not terrible, but it's not that good. I'll rate it 4/10
I never eat chain pizza, I gave the remaining $6 on the gift card as a tip to the employee. It might have made their night
No pictures, sorry.

so Pizza bros, cheese over or under the toppings? I've generally put my sauce, then toppings, and finally cheese on top. But sometimes I find my entire toppings falling off my crust when I try eating and I'm not sure why this is. Would putting cheese first over the sauce help the toppings and cheese stick better or is there something else I'm missing on why my toppings slide off with the cheese? Like literally all the toppings and cheese slide off in one layer and leaves a sauce bread crust under it.

Mix it bro!
A little bit of cheese, then some of the toppings, then more cheese, then a final layer of toppings.

Yah I tried the cheese after sauce and then toppings on top, mixed it a bit as well. Worked great! Toppings and cheese don't slide off. Toppings sink into the cheese and stick perfectly. Don't know why I've never done it this way before.
I've been making pizza myself for about a year or so and just constantly learning new things. It takes a while to master but once you do it is awesome every single time.

A pizza place worth checking out in my opinion (one just opened up around my area recently). You can see the servers build the pizza to your liking and it takes about 3-5 mins for the pizza to be fully ready (depending on the waiting time)

The whole "Subway" or pizza seems like the new trend nowadays. We have a fee places that have popped up here in the last few years, including 800 degrees (from the creator of Umami Burger). Haven't tried any of them yet. It does look pretty legit. Awesome to see there is one in my area too

Blaze isn't bad. I tried it a month or so ago.
I tried DiGornio Pizzeria which is pretty solid. Too skimpy on the sauce and toppings but the crust is pretty solid.

Hey, I never realized there was a Pizza OT. I need to start posting here more often.
Anyway, I've been down in Central CT for the past few years (it's where my wife is from, I spent my entire life prior to the past few years in Western MA). I know "New Haven-style Pizza" is supposed to be the thing around here, but I haven't gotten around to trying it.
But, the place I've found around here that I love is a place called Pine Loft in Berlin, CT.
Usually I'll get either Extra Cheese and Pepperoni, or Extra Cheese, Pepperoni, and Buffalo Chicken.
Today I decided to do something a bit different though, and got Extra Cheese, Pepperoni, and Salami
Not quite as good as usual today (disappointing cheese coverage on the right side), but still very good.
Of course, we're having a snowstorm today too. I left a nice tip.
