I'm going to try it or at least have someone in the family make it - maybe my daughter. She likes to make her own crust sometimes. I like how simple this looks.

I wanted real dadgum pizza, which is near impossible without an oven that has a radiant stone floor, and radiant high temperature walls. Sorry, that's just the way it is. So ... being a pizza and bread baking Broke Ass, I built my own oven following the advice of Kiko Denver's marvelous book Earth Oven (Amazon) http://www.flickr.com/photos/technopeasant Now, before you whoa! I can't afford that! I hand built this out of earth, clay and soils on my house lot. The fence and roof and framing all came from salvaging construction project dumpsters. The whole kit cost me less than $200. And wood fired pizza is to die for. Not the five and six thousand dollar big ticket custom brick outdoor kitchen ovens. Just my own oven built by hand. be a Broke Ass. It's a gas. Okay … how about this for Broke Ass?

Why not just go to the cheezer geezer and get two pizzas for 5 bucks. Ok you saved money on the dough but then you spent it all and more on toppings.

I love making my own pizza dough. Usually I make my pizza dough with a sourdough starter -- it imparts a depth to the taste of the crust that is quite wonderful. Plus, you can make it a few days ahead of when you want to bake your pizza. With a sourdough, the taste only gets better with time! What a beautiful pizza!

You can use fresher cheeses and toppings and you know exactly what you are putting into it. I agree with others in that it's hard to get the crust cooked just right with our ovens. I only wish I had a brick oven. I love making my own pizza, it’s so much cheaper than buying from a pizza place and you can make it healthier.

My suggestion is to use the grill to cook the pizza. Place the stone in the grill and heat the grill (and stone) to 375. You can mess with the burners depending on your grill. For my Webber I use the front and back, leaving the middle off or low. The grill is a PERFECT place to cook pizza. Just measure the depth of your grill so you don't buy a stone too large to fit with the lid closed. I also echo the use of high gluten flour. It will allow the dough to stretch out as you flip it in the air. One other suggestion. When I worked in a pizza place as a teen, I used to have people come in and buy raw dough all the time. I'd charge them 2 bucks for a ball to make a 16" pizza. You can't beat freshly made dough from a good mom and pop pizza joint! Like others have suggested, get a good pizza stone.

This sounds like I might give it a try! Okay, speaking of pizza sauce and topings, do you
