Making homemade pizza is so quick and easy, yet how many times have we opted to call for take out pizza instead of making it ourselves? Instead of calling for pizza and spending a small fortune, get the family together and have fun making homemade pizza together.

Having the right pizza recipes is a good start to making tasty pizzas. However, the secret to making really great mouthwatering pizzas is in the technique.

How you knead the dough, finding the "secret ingredients" you can't buy at the grocery store plus the secret piece of equipment you must put in your oven that will make a world of difference to the quality of your pizza.

Secrets From Inside the Pizzeria tells you all the secrets you need to know and is a must-have if you want to make the best pizzas from your own kitchen.

How will you prepare the pizza crust? This step can be easy or an adventure. If you wimp out and go easy, you can use an already prepared crust from the store like Pillsbury pizza crust in the pop open can or a Boboli pizza crust.

It you want to give the kids a real treat, let them make their own pizza dough. Kids (and some adults too!) love to play with flour and dough. Another good thing about making your own pizza crust is that the size of the pizza can be customized for each person in the family. Homemade pizza dough crusts will also make use of those handy pantry staples.

When your pizza dough is ready, shape it into a circle of appropriate size. Create a rim on the pizza dough so that the pizza sauce won't bubble over onto the oven rack. Now comes the fun part. The dough is ready to be dressed to the hilt with your favorite toppings.

The best thing about making your own pizza at home is picking the toppings you like best. Since it is your personal pizza, you can have as many different toppings as your heart desires. It's a chance to raid the cabinets and the fridge to find good stuff to top your creation.

For the pizza sauce, you could use the commercial ones off the shelf from the grocery store. I personally find commercial pizza sauces too sour for my liking and prefer to make my own pizza sauce.

Spread the sauce over the dough and be sure to cover it to the rim. Next, top the pizza sauce with your favorite cheeses. It's more economical to purchase a block of cheese and use a grater to slice it for pizza toppings. I would not recommend purchasing pre-shredded cheese bags since they usually have only two or three cups in each which is not going to go the distance for an entire family. Besides, fresh cheese melts better.

If you have at least two baking stones or pizza trays, you can make more than one at a time. Everyone can help to clean up while you wait for dinner to be ready. When the timer goes off, Bon Apetit!
