              Well duh, when you stop smelling that toxic smell it’s done. 🧑‍🍳😘

              Correction: you have to use the non toxic glue but it still smells really weird about ten to fifteen minutes on broil I usually just don’t open the oven. The oven light stops working after every pizza party but I think it’s our electric connection the wire is a little bit frayed from rubbing up against the dog’s stainless steel water bowl all the time. Our kitchen design is the worst. Anyways, yea. Another pro tip keep your oven on all the time at minimum temperature to save money on heating during the winter.

              All of our dogs that we’ve had have struggled in the winter months over the past dozen or so years, so we’ve been doing this every year since we figured it out to stop them from being too cold. They are always cuddled up by the oven when we come home and… nevermind I … Oh geeze, so many memories :-(

      No way does it have cheese.

      I could do the dough, probably. A jar of sauce is over, a can of tomatoes is over, hell 3 to 4 regular ass tomatoes are over that.

      Well you steal the ingredients and then throw a buck fifty in the homeless dude’s can outside the store. Best guess. Also I approve of this method.

      Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.

        It shouldn’t be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.

        It’s not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.

          I mean it’s kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.

          Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.

            Yeah, but a mergherita is only 5€, most of those pizzas have a lot of ingredients and still don’t go higher than 10€, some of the replies say that they pay a mergherita 14$ which is crazy considering how much a margherita is simple

      I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn’t believe how cheap pizza is!

      It’s not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.

      I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.

      Then I found out my $9 order was $5 for a drink and $4 for door dash, who apparently runs the site? I don’t want to contribute to door dash becoming ticketmaster, but restaurants opt-in to that shit willingly.

      Now I’m paying half price in person and wasting 5-10 minutes each time. Can’t win.

        Takes a long time for the dough to rise, but at least where I love you can by premade dough if you wanna sacrifice some quality for a faster process. And then it’s like a 20 min job.

          That’s always the balance between time, quality, and cost. Fast and good js expensive, cheap and fast is crap, cheap and good requires time.

          We make multiple dough balls and freeze them. That way if we are going to have pizza for dinner we just leave the frozen dough to defrost and rise in a bowl when we’re at work.

            I raise, shape, stack (with Saran wrap in between), them freeze em. So all I do is put the topping and toss the bad boys into the oven.

              Parchment might work better. Less microplastics, and then it can go straight from freezer to counter to oven without leaving the parchment.

                  I hope it works! I’ve been meaning to try rolling them out before freezing them, which also seems pretty smart.

              Good strategy if you have the room in your freezer. We’ve tried that before, but unfortunately I have a really narrow freezer and can’t fit a decent sized pizza in there.

          You can make and freeze dough, too. I do a batch of cold fermented pizza dough and then divide the balls into mason jars and put them in the freezer. Not that much work. Just have to remember to pull the jar out lunchtime for dinner pizza.

      Pizza at home is a whole hobby by itself, not a dinner choice.

      I do it from time to time, but if factor my time, each pizza ends up costing like 20 euros, and I don’t even have any fancy equipment to amortize…

      Much more efficient to do an hour of overtime and order from a local Italian restaurant, if all you want is to eat a good pizza.

    Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.

    Take a slice of bread, spread with tomato sauce, top with cheese and toppings, then broil until toppings melt. Want a calzone? Add a second piece of bread on top of the end, broil until toasted.

    Boom. Pizza.

    …/s ?

    I wish I could make a pizza at home for $1.50. For $1.50, I can make the crust. No sauce, no cheese, no toppings.

    “Hey, Jimmy, gimme a pie with nothin’!”

    “Nothin’?”

    It is still cheaper to buy everything for a pepperoni or cheese pizza to make at home than even a Little Ceasars pizza, tho. Can make a bigger pizza, too.
