Verdict:

Way fun to make! I thought homemade dough and pizza might be a long, difficult process but it wasn't at all!! It was really easy! I liked that I didn't have to let the dough rise for hours, so it was a pretty quick process! The idea was to each have one half to put what we wanted on... but the pepperoni's ended up being a bit expired so we combined what we had (pineapple, canadian bacon, and olives). Go getters would probably make their own marinara sauce, I just used Ragu traditional and it worked wonderfully! The dough recipe also called for corn meal to dust on the pan so the dough won't stick.. I didn't have corn meal and just used some good old pam and had no problems! The pizza we made turned out pretty big (Scott's guessing 15 inches). It was a bit of a messy one with the flour all over the counter, but the meal was it was a lot of fun and ended up being really delicious!! However.. leftovers tasted awful! The crust was super soggy so eat it all the first night!
