    I go to 500 but that's it. Works fine enough for me.

    You could use the broiler, or I've heard of people using "self-clean" but that scares me.

    That's been the main reason I haven't tried this at home. Is a pizza stone really all it takes?

    I've been lurking here for the last year. Mostly people making em at home http://www.reddit.com/r/Pizza

    This thread is making me wanna go out and buy a stone not now but right now.

    2 words:

    Goats Cheese.

    Perchance a little piquant for some palates, but Pizza Express do a great one.

    Padana Leggera

    Goats cheese, spinach, red & caramelised onions, garlic oil

    Tell me what you fancy from here:

    Again, I love our stones. They live in the oven, if I'm going to warm some pita, or reheat some cornbread, I just throw it on the stone.

    Cooks Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) recommends pre-heating stones for an hour. An hour! I never do that.

    Our oven will go over 500o, but it freaks Nancy out. If I am not there to lobby for 500o it gets done at 450o. But still good.

    Like Jonny said, there are lots of fancy schmanzy recipes here. All good I am sure.
    But just using what ever is fresh, or what ever is on hand will also make a good pizza.

    We do the dough in the bread machine for ease.

    use ciliegine (the lil balls) of mozzarella so that it melts and spreads but doesnt burn and dry out on the pie

    The only oven I ever had with self clean, it was a cycle and you couldn't open the door until was done. If you put a pizza in there it would be a little pile of ash by the time you could open it up.

    There are some good ideas on this thread I need to try!

    Your not getting the right goat cheese.

    I'm a big fan of keeping it simple when it comes to good pizza, 3 or 4 toppings max. Aside from mozzarella other good cheese I like to add for a little variation are pecorino, grana padano and fontal. I love some mushroom and prosciutto, but if you're putting the ham on at any other time than after it's just come out of the oven, you're a fucking heathen.

    I like to make my own doe when possible. It really doesn't take much time if you've got a mixing machine. Make a large batch, let them rise overnight in the fridge, then chuck what you don't use in the freezer. You really want it to be warmed and puffy by the time you work it though. And when you've got it to decent size by stretching your rolling, get the final shape and crust by working it with a flat hand pushing from the middle out, so your fingertips naturally form a crust.

    Korean pizza is one of the most wrong things i've ever eaten.

    If goat cheese on your pizza is too adventurous, I don't know what we're doing here.

    I love anchovies on my pizza. Also like courgette (zucchini) slices too. Out of the oven, and some crushed raw garlic & rocket leaves.

    Thin crust only thank you.

    Okay we got toppings covered... what about underneath the pizza slice? Anyone mess with 'faina'? A tradition in Argentina, you eat a slice of faina underneath your slice of pizza. It might not sound good, but trust me its delicious. Just seems to accentuate the whole thing.

    Faina

    You are completely wrong in every way.

    Please turn in your keys on the way out.
