I would have to say that the best pizza I had was cooked in my own kitched.
The ready made crusts that you can get in the store as well as the pre-cut
pepperoni turns out a relatively good pizza.  I like to make it a family
event where everyone puts the topping that they want on their own pizza.
This is great for kids because they get a feeling of actually creating
something and they get to eat it afterwards.

Making a pizza like this takes less time than Domino's to deliver and
it costs about the same.  If it tastes bad, it's your own fault for
putting bad cheese or anchovies on that slice.

Anyway, where is the on-on-on?
