  1. The biggest problem with big pizza is as the company expands it adds more greedy/hungry mouths to feed. It always loses it's soul in this. PU and PJ are great examples of this, especially PU which went from fresh in house to frozen and bought from third parties.

    There are still small chains around in different regions doing pretty well, like a Vocelli's, but… gotta stay small to stay great.

    Edit – I feel bad for not mentioning LC. They messed up and nearly lost it. They kept the soul though. It's still okay pizza at a price I can't figure out. It's way too good for the price and that crazy bread… It's always good! 😋

    I left Dominoes out for a reason btw…

  2. I was a professional cook for decades. In that time I got pretty good at making pizza. This one is as easy a recipe as I ever made, easier than most.
    It looks fantastic and simple, letting the flavors combine and shine. Simplicity is the key in this type of recipe. There's lots of things you 'can' ad but very few you 'should'.

  3. Last time I tried this, the dough got permanently bonded to the cast iron and I couldn't get the pizza out. I tried placing baking paper between the pan and the dough, which helped to remove the sticking but it's not the same.
