Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.

It shouldn’t be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.

It’s not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.

  Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.

  I mean it’s kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.

    Oh if it’s Blaze pizza or similar that’s a huge win haha. I go there and load up the toppings too.
