Not where I really want to be
I decided to make some grandma's style pizza from scratch for tonight, so I made the dough in the morning and let it rest in the fridge after an initial 2-hour rise on the counter. I then made some pizza sauce using whole canned tomatoes from my favorite brand. The pizza has a nice layer of Parmigiana Reggiano right on top of the dough, then I added freshly cut garlic and some onions and topped it off with my tomato sauce. After it was cooked, I drizzled on some olive oil. The pizza was delicious and very crunchy. I prefer these pan-style pizzas. What is your favorite style of pizza?

The kind anyone else makes for me. But, to answer more thoughtfully, I like crispy pan, and the more cheese and meat the better. One local place has almost a cornbread type of crust that I love. (Unless it involves a grill or a smoker I am not a cook, so that's the best description I have.) I think the sauce is the make or break for pizza, I can't say how one might be better or worse, I just know it when I taste it.
 
I'm a thin crust - crispy and some burned spots. Spent a lot of years in New Haven and on Wooster Street.

I admit to buying fresh dough most of the time. We've become fond of white pizza - olive oil, garlic, Parm, and maybe chicken or bacon.

Make it on parchment paper and just slide it onto oven rack, set at max. Think about building an oven in back yard. Would prefer coal. Loved that flavor in New Haven.
 
Pizza with some toppings!

How's the cycle crash recovery?
