Since we are in the middle of the boonies...we can't find good pizza (God I miss Chicago pizza!!!!!). I have numerous times have tried to make it...kit to put together = yuk, take & bake from the grocery store deli = yuk, gas station (Hunt Brothers) pizza = not too bad, Pizza Hut = the best we can do (but still not Chicago pizza). So I am trying one last time........ This is fantastic!
