HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
 
---- spending $12 a pizza for toppings (per pizza, plus delivery costs!!), the total cost of this was around $6.25 to me (some bulk quantites were present, adjusted for standard kitchen stocking costs), give or take for non-sale and regional price differences. hooray recession!

The $5 around here is nasty cardboard you don't even feed the dog. Homemade pizza is bomb, folks.

I just made kung pao chicken for the first time and fried rice. The rice sucked because it was cheap ---- and it was all mush. The kopo chicken wasn't bad though. Peanuts, chilis, carrots, and chicken together is win.

Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
 
if you do it right, homemade pizza tastes as good if not better than pizza chain pizza. buying ---- in 50lb flour sacks and 5gal oil tubs is where savings is.

The 5 dollar pizza's are just dough which well isnt what craves pizza urges. Solid work. I worked in a pizza joint all through high school. Homemade is pretty damn good if you know what your doing

+1

I hate the homemade pizza that is all dough and no flavor... disgusting. Once you have the flavor & thickness of the dough correct the rest is hard to ---- up.

the dough recipe is the bomb for sure

TorganFM 01-12-2009 09:58 PM

Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
 
I like to prebake the crusts, but that's just me. It makes them a little thicker but it also makes them firm up and not be gooey under the sauce. We have a little caesar's here that does $5 large pepperonis but they never compare to a good homemade $5 pizza. $5 is a lot of pepperoni, onions, cheese after you make a cheap crust.

I got a half pound baggie for like a buck and a half at a Mennonite farmer's market.

Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
 
i let the pizzas sit for a good half hour after i put the toppings on. the 'gourmet' pizza had almost 1.5" thick in the center of deliciously soft, yet slightly crunchy crust.

Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
 
Damn straight. Cooking it yourself is the only way to go. There's a little caesar's by me, and while their pizza isn't bad for 5 bucks, that ---- is nasty when cold. It's gotta be eaten hot and fresh. Plus, you can go ------- insane with the toppings. Triple cheese, onions, garlic, pepperoni, bacon, hot sausage, bell peppers, olives, whatever the ---- you want.

If you can't cook it yourself and do a halfway decent job, (you are allowed to ---- it up the first two times if you're that dumb) then damn son, that's pathetic.
