Plain cheese doesn't crack the top 10?
Is Vesuvio just cheese with peppers?
I'd be good with that.

Is there actual pizza under the kebab?
wifey ordered two large plain for the kiddies tonight.  The drive home was brutal. I actually had to leave the room while they were eating it.  Damn diet however I did not break!!!

My first attempt at making Johnny Di Francesco's (400 Gradi) margherita. Was quite happy with it for a first attempt. Didn't cut my dough balls big enough or not enough yeast so I couldn't get a large sized base. Still yummy for mini bases. I used fresh mozzarella instead of buffalo mozzarella and tinned whole peeled Italian tomatoes by Annalisa. Also, I used instant dried yeast instead of fresh yeast.

Those look great! I would have gone a tad bit longer in the oven, though. How they taste?

Thank you!
They were fantastic. Crispy yet soft and fluffy inside. Toppings were fresh and yum. Simple yet amazing. 
I cooked them for 10 minutes at 225c (fan forced) with the stone preheated for about 40 minutes.
The batch previous to this I cooked for 8 minutes. I was just concerned that the toppings may overcook/burn so I kept it to 10 as per recipes online that use a stone and a conventional oven. 10 minutes was the winner for me, the bottom was cooked better. I might try maybe 11 next time. But will keep it to 10 tomorrow as my nieces are coming over to have some. I am currently resting my dough before prooving.

More dough balls proving for tomorrow for my nieces and maybe for me....

Those pizzas look like nice snack sized eats.  Could probably fold each one and eat like a new yawker! 
Looks good.

Margaritha is plain cheese(?). That is number 5. Never heard of it?


"Margherita (after Margherita) contains tomato sauce, cheese (usually mozzarella) and basil. The three colors are alleged to represent Italy's flag. "

Vesuvio is a margarita with ham on it.

"Vesuvio (after Vesuvius) contains tomato sauce, cheese and ham."


The US really needs to start having names for their pizza.s Haha.

"Kebab pizza (after Kebab) contains tomato sauce, cheese, onions, fresh tomatoes, pepperoni and kebab meat, and a sauce that is poured on after baking. The alternatives vary widely, but the most common are garlic sauce, tomato sauce, and mild and strong sauce."

Now I will go eat pizza. will snap a pic

Margherita isn’t plain pizza.  And the picture you posted isn’t margherita.  It is a plain pie with a basil leaf lol. 
Thoughts arrive, nice work!!

All these delicious looking pies make me hungry. I’m going the Italian route today, but no pizza. Homemade stuffed shells. Playoff football...sauce simmering all day...good way to spend a Saturday.

Marg is not a plain cheese pizza.  It is fucking delicious, but not a plain pizza. 

Vesuvio looks great!

One looks really good....one looks the opposite.  (People in Sweden would eat it if you gave it a goofy name)

What difference is it as a "plain pizza" and margahria. You cant order something more plain than a margarita here. Its the cheapest option.

F Me In The Brain

Plain pizza is dough, sauce, and shredded cheese.
