I am so happy we have frozen pizza in the freezer and if we didn't I would be ordering it from one of those Pizza places the OP refers too. We will have some Mon night and we leave for 2 weeks on Tues morning. Paper plates will our china, pizza will be our gourmet meal and wine our drink of choice; No dishes, no clean up and noting to worry about.
I don't like most people's home made pizza, either. Usually they buy the dough someplace anyway. It tastes very bread like. Almost like a refrigerated roll.
I leave Pizza to the pros - professionals with the right ovens and family secret recipes from the "Old Country". I also avoid corporate pizza, Corporate food in general.
Pizza is quite possibly THE most overrated food of all time. It's just so readily available, and largely unappealing. No nuance. No subtlety. Often gauche.
It's so generic, it really shouldn't even be discussed. I don't care if it's from Italy, Chicago or NYC. It's JUST PIZZA. Smh.
If I never had another slice of pizza in my life, I'd be fine.

It's not the water, it's that they are nothing but regular bread baked round with a hole in the center and called "bagels".
But the other kind is OK for making pizza bagels, she said in an attempt to be on topic...
Actually, unlike bread, traditional bagels are boiled before baking. I believe there's also some type of malt product added to the water they're boiled in.
A conventional home oven does not get hot enough to make a decent pizza crust. Yes, people modify them, and remove the temperature limiter off just to make pizza, but most don't. I pre-cook my crust before adding the sauce, cheese, and toppings yet still get a soggy pizza. I give up.

What kind of pizzas have you tried that led you to that conclusion?

All of them lol
It's just dough, a tomato mixture and cheese.... let's just cut the crap here. Pizza isn't really worthy of much discussion. People have been duped and continue to be duped. It's just friggin' pizza, people.
Pizza tonight, in Pittsburgh, PA, where there is no longer any point to buying pizza from a pizza place—at least, not the kind of pizza place Scooby Snacks originally posted about:

And bread is just flour, yeast, salt, and water. Are you also unable to detect nuance or subtlety between Wonder bread and a well made baguette?
And this may come as a great shock to you but there are VAST differences among things that would be classified as dough, tomato mixtures, and/or cheese.

You need to expand your horizons! Not all pizzas use tomato sauce! We make homemade pizzas that use apricot sauce, crawfish tails and three cheeses. Also a fig jam, gorgonzola and prosciutto. There are many others and once you try coal or wood fired pizza, you'll find a new dimension in flavor. Ever have a pulled pork pizza?
