DH likes sauce and Cheese Only Pizza, with Anchovies on the side.
I like them ALL!
So when I make homemade Pizza, I'll do 2 or even 3 Pies.
He SAYS he only wants Cheese, but then I pull out the
Pepperoni Pie and he wants "just a small slice" ... and
then comes out the Supreme (Sweet Italian Sausage, sliced
Black Olives, Sweet White Onions, Sweet Bell Peppers and sliced
Mushrooms) and he wants that too!
As to the original question:
I make my homemade Pizza with just enough Sauce
to thinly coat the top of the Pie, blast it in the hot box at
550 until the crust starts to rise then the Cheese goes on
and it's back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes.
IF I'm making a Pie with "goodies" on it, it's sauce and toppings,
blast for 2-3 minutes and then Cheese and back into the oven.
Believe it or not, we don't care for the Cheese atop Pizza to be browned,
just barely melted really. And yes, I've had Pizza in New York City,
as well as in many, many other towns across this Country,
but by far and away, I like mine best.
Oh, and DH is the Root Beer guy and I'm Trader Joe's Dark Beer
