Pizza is stupid cheap to make at home. Domino's is currently offering Minecraft pizzas that are less than twice the size for more than twice the cost. But making it at home means no grease soaked collectable box.

Cost per person before toppings: $2.77 It is very hard to fit even a dollar worth of toppings on a pizza.

I can never get the dough right, always a soggy disappointment. I have now started using baguettes and it's a hit. Crunchy bottom.

    It depends a lot on your oven. You want to get temperature from the bottom. I once only had an oven that was a bit challenged doing that so I pre-baked the pizza without toppings for some time so it would not get soggy.

    Other than that, I learned the hard way to really follow a decent recipe for the dough and give it enough time to proof - especially experimenting in winter turned out bad because I prefer room temperatures which are quite low.

    That can be a serious issue. I solved the issue by putting a cast iron skillet on the bottom rack and making sure my oven was cranked up all the way. Cast iron skillet acts as a heat battery to make sure that you get a firm bottom crust. If you want to butt up just a little bit, make sure you butter your pizza pan. Or use oil. But having that heat battery is essential.
