Listen, I've had some great ones, and some not so much. I don't have a brick oven imported from italy, I just use the oven in my kitchen. But....
Look at the crust. After you rolled out the dough, no I am not awesome enough to throw the dough and hand spin it, fold a bit of the dough along the edge and pinch it over every half inch or so along the edges. Once you have done so, flip the dough over. Use cornmeal on both sides. Then brush the shit out of it with garlic butter. Garlic + plus a ton of butter + microwave = goodness. Now you actually have a delicious crust as opposed to some shit you will get on the east coast.
Then cook it. I go in at 475. Keep an eye on it, as it can go from delicious freshness to dogfood surprisingly quick. I'm joking, the ones I have fucked up, I wouldn't feed a homeless panhandler, much less my dogs. This wasn't one of them.
Mozzarella, spicy italian sausage, onions, green peppers, and a heavy handed dose of oregano and basil, in addition to my roasted red pepper tomato sauce.
That's how we roll in The Chi. FNY.
