I like to cook. I often grill or smoke in my smoker that I bought a couple years ago. I pretty much have cooked every kinda of food that I enjoy. But one thing I’ve never really bothered making was pizza, mainly because I like going out to my favorite pizza places and figured there’s no way to replicate the taste and texture due to them being equipped with aged ovens/brick. Man was I wrong thinking I couldn’t get a great pie. For the past few months I’ve really enjoyed the craft of making pies. I use a pizza stone and my pies are just as good as some of my favorite pizza places.
As far as going out for pizza I REFUSE to eat chain pizza, I always eat at mom and pop, non- chain pizza places.

I love to cook but I’ve also never done a homemade pizza. I got a pizza oven for Christmas but I’ve not been able to use it yet

How long do I smoke? I dont use time so much as I do eye sight but ideally around 30mins between each step.(2-3hrs) Heat your smoker & pizza try at 275 for about 30mins. Then smoke your crust for 30mins or so (until it starts to look like pizza crust). Then add sauce (and some toppings if your want) and smoke for another 30mins or so. Then lay on the cheese & more toppings and smoke for another 30 or so minutes.

Being from NYC I feel I'm picky with where I go for pizza. I found a maybe 2 or 3 places near me that make a decent pie. I do enjoy making my own pizza, I have a bread machine to make my own dough. I make my own sauce as well.

Also you reminded me that I forgot to mention that making your own pie is wicked inexpensive.

Chain Pizza places arent bad. I like Dominos.
I dont understand why some people hate chains in general. One day, in the past, someone opened a store. That store became successful and branched out into another, then another, then another, and then a chain was formed. I wont hate on a place just because it's a chain.
I have a spot I LOVE for pizza. I thought they could do no wrong. Until a few weeks ago. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with green peppers. They put fresh green peppers on the pepperoni. So as it cooks the moisture from the peppers leaked onto the pepperoni. As a result you get peppers that are cooked and pepperoni that is soggy and greasy. I like when the pepperoni cooks and is partially blackened around the edges.

I’m not really a fan of chain pizza places. They just seam cheap and not as good. I love a brick oven cooked pizza though there aren’t many around.

I’m jealous of all these celebrities that have $20,000 pizza ovens in there back yard. Depending on material cost, I might build my own.

For $20K the oven better do everything from shopping for ingredients to mixing the pizza dough, cooking the sauce, putting the pizza together, cook the pizza, slice the pizza, and serve it to me with a nice cold beer.... on an hourly basis.

I’ve watched videos on YouTube and came across a few post on Reddit /diy. I’ve seen people build these and it doesn’t seem that expensive. I work construction, so I’m gonna ad up the material cost.

I go to 3 places here that aren't chain...well one is a very small chain with about 6 restaurants. I will break down and order Pizza Hut because I don't mind their stuffed crust. But that's it. Every summer my family goes on vacation...something we've done since I was a baby and we stop on the road to Rocky Rococo (it's a chain local to Wisconsin I believe) and pick up a few pizzas on our way. That's the best larger chain pizza I've ever had (maybe it's the Wisconsin cheese).

I love to make my own pies. My Grandmother taught me how when I was little to make the dough for the crust that her mother taught her. I then use my homemade spaghetti sauce. When I first make the sauce I put it in 2 pots. 1 for Spaghetti, and one for pies. The pies one I don't make as thick (less diced tomatoes). Let the sauce cook 8 hours, put it in the fridge. The next day you pull it out and start cooking again 2 hours. Putting it in the fridge overnight thickens the sauce and makes the flavor of everything really pop.
I'll make like 15 pies. When I do everyone comes over and ask for some to take home. And next time they bring more people over, ans theg say "oh this is tge pizza you are always telling me about". They all tell me I should open a restaurant, but I make it for the people I love, not for money.

Made a pie tonight to celebrate the Pats big win yesterday. Not that I didn't eat enough tailgating. Fresh mozzarella, bacon, and Italian sausage.

I dont understand the hate for chain pizza. If you get them/order it right...its not bad. Sure its never as good if you make it yourself but nothing ever is. My cheesburgers are 1000% times better then anything you'd get at a restaurant but that doesnt mean Im not going to eat a burger if Im out somewhere.

Like I said I probably haven’t ate chain pizza in at least 5yrs, probably never will again until dementia kicks in. I can go to my favorite pizza place in town and spend the same amount of $, 100% better quality, for that of like papa johns or dominos. I get your point tho. When I grill up a ribeye. Nothing compares to my own. The closest it gets is Ruth Chris, but it could be all that butter on there’s as well.
