^^^ Exactly! Pizza is so easy to make for a fraction of what you pay at the restaurant!
I make pizza at home and I'm a pizzaholic. I love pizza. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it. I try to make it at least once every couple of weeks but in the summer less often because it's so danged hot I hate turning on the oven.
I made one a few days ago deep dish style in a 15 x 10 glass baking dish with some sliced heirloom tomatoes on top a neighbor gave me and thinly sliced salami instead of pepperoni, some Italian herbs, a little garlic powder, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. It was to die for if I do say so myself
It probably cost me about $7 to make if that much and I ate it for 3 days. I had leftover the following night and then brought a couple pieces into work for lunch too.
After relocating here to TN no pizza except made at home. There is one steak & pizza place We will try. Once. Pizza is not something I should eat but every 6 months it's time to blow the carbs out.
Classic New York style pizza is good. A lot of people talk about New York vs Chicago or whatever, and both are good. However my favorites are some of the ones that are less talked about. Detroit pizza at Buddy's original location on Conant st and Frank Pepe's white clam pizza in New Haven were both amazing albeit they don't get the fanfare that pizza in NY and Chicago get.

To be fair to both NY and Conn, they are both NY style Italian or Southern Italian style pizza. New Haven was at least at one time a Mecca for Italian immigrants including my parents. The pizza styles are no different than pizzas from NY. At least that's what I remember growing up there.
Everyone had their favorite pizza places of course, but the pizza style didn't change between NY and New Haven, unlike Chicago where it's a whole different style of pizza.
We did go out to a fine dining restaurant last night that featured a wide array of Italian and American dishes. I went to try the pizza. Sticker shock. $12 for a small. Part of the price was justifiable for the atmosphere and part because it was as good as I've ever had, but $12? Seems like yesterday a good large pizza was $4.99.
Homemade pizza tonight with from the garden sliced potatoes and yellow squash, red onion and mushrooms. Large for less than $4
