Not delivery OR Digiorno

I didn't know where to put this but I wanted to show off my first attempt at homemade pizza on my Woodwind.

I cheated a little and bought pre-made pizza dough from the Publix bakery (not the pre-made stuff in the freezer aisle). After rolling and stretching the dough, I laid down a thin layer of sauce, a thin layer of cheese, peperoni, Italian sausage, pancetta, mushrooms, Vidalia onion, Roma tomatoes and finished with another thin layer of cheese. I put my pizza stone in the Woodwind and pre-heated it up to 500 degrees. I know next time I do this I need to dock the dough because she tried to puff up on me but I kept a close eye on it and deflated the bigger bubbles as they developed.

Anyway, 15 minutes later and I had a beautiful pie that had a great grilled flavor and AMAZING crispy crust with a great chew. Not too bad if I say so myself.

Mm good proper pizza!

Wait till you get into doing your own dough; you can add seasoning right into it! <Or if you already do make your own at times..try adding minced garlic right into the dough!>

Thanks fellas. I gotta admit, I'm pretty proud of this one.

I'm going to branch out on my next attempt(s). I didn't want to over-extend myself on the first try.

Letting the pizza stone heat up with the grill makes a huge difference on the crust. That is, if you like a crispy crunchy crust, which I most definitely do. Plus, the grilled smoky flavor added a whole new dimension to the flavor of the pizza.

I now entirely want to try and do this..but I am also pretty sure my char-griller wouldn't get that hot either!

High heat is definitely critical to a crispy crust and nice char on the toppings/cheese. Some of those professional brick pizza ovens get over 900 degrees in the dome.

That's a righteous looking pizza!

Primo looking pizza pie, nice job.

I'm definitely developing a hankering for a good pizza.

I have pretty much ruined it for every take-out pizza delivery joint around me that we USED to use. Lol!!!
