Homemade pizza. Making the dough creates a mess and requires delicate manual labor in several steps at precise times over more than 24 hours. Looks great on YouTube but that's just not me.
Edit: thanks for the suggestions, guys. Who knows, maybe one day... ๐
A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They're usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.
That's what I always do since there are decent options available nowadays.
It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I'll grant it's messy but it's pretty easy!

The pizza dough tastes better when allowed to rest and rise slowly in the fridge. Using a ton of store bought yeast for a quick rise is fine, but planning out the dough the night before is better.
Well it depends on what you want to achieve. Because there is also the oven, which os important, and your ingredient.
I love making pizza since I was a teenager and I learned slowly. Internet was great for learning cold fermentation or about different type of pizza.
But you can make a decent pizza quite easily.
Maybe try focaccia first it's super fun. This is the recipe I use.
A ceramic stone in the oven has been a gamechanger for my pizzas.
Yep, if you make pizza in a home oven it's really important to have a stone plate.
I really like my lodge cast-iron one, but when I've used stones they seem to work just as well for New Haven style
