Fancy detroit = onions and shrooms?
Bet that was great!

BBQ chicken, caramelized onions, jalapeños

Excellent sounding!

I think he uses Mike’s Hot honey to caramelize the onions.

I think there are all sorts of recipes but to start I would choose one for two pizzas and not adjust....although halving a recipe should be fine in general.

Sounds like you pointed out a few things you generally want to avoid....over kneading is a big one. Less is more with water, you can always add flour.
I don't like using a mixer but that might be helpful if you have one with a bread hook.

Proofing is a big key, in my experience.

When you are ready to go, let it get to room temp and I would suggest not using a roller or any type and just flour the surface, and your hands, and press out to be the basic shape you want.

The easiest thing is to pick a recipe you want to go with and make it 3-4 times. Adjust and get better as you go - have fun!

Thanks! I'm gonna try again sometime this week.

I haven't had a frozen pizza in years. We threw one in for the kids this weekend. Home Run Inn. I snagged a slice and holy shit was it good. Not a bad plan B to have in the freezer when in a pinch.

I like frozen pizza. Always freeze pieces from orders but also the box pizza...it is not the same, but that does not mean I do not like it.

As confessed previously, I even have a spot of nostalgia for the shitty Ellio's brand of cardboard pizza.

Time and a place for many things!

^For sure. I used to eat a frozen pizza just about every weekend in my early 20's after a night of drinking. I have never frozen leftovers as we usually can finish them off within the next day or two. May have to try that.

Does Home Run Inn sell frozen pizza everywhere? Just realized they may not, being that they're out of Chicago.

In a 3 person household we all like different pizza, so we always order 3 pies. Lots of leftovers!

I do not believe I've seen/had Home Run.

That said, and as you said...frozen pizza after a night of drinking was the best!
My college roommate was notorious for coming back from the bars, tossing in a frozen pizza only to discover 10 minutes later that he put the pizza in with the cardboard base-thing. Or he'd pass after he put it in and it would set off the smoke alarm.
So many times I'd wake up to him burning shit late at night.
