What they don't tell you about making your own pizza:
1. Homemade pizza sauce is only a little bit better than store bought, but store bought is much less time consuming and results in no extra dishes.
2. Homemade pizza dough is not worth it when you can buy pre-made pizza dough for $1.50 from winco.
3. When they say "Slide the pizza off of the peel and on to the baking stone in the oven", what they mean is "We are professionals who have been doing this a very long time and have got this tricky skill down. So be warned! And be very careful in your pursuit of transferring the pizza to the hot simmery stone in the oven, because it is quite possible that one might accidentally tilt the pizza peel so much that the nice gooey pizza flies over the pizza stone and onto the hot, simmery oven. This will in turn, cause a lot of smoke to swell in your already sweaty, hot kitchen, as well as leave a very large, very messy, sizzling and smokey piece of sticky cheese pizza on the bottom of your oven for you to watch sizzle and burn until the oven is cool enough to clean it out. Also, do not try to salvage the pizza. If you do, you will just burn your hand really badly and then swear out loud three times in front of your three year old child".
No they don't say any of that. Why would they? No one would ever make homemade pizza again.

I am so sorry.
But you are so very wrong.
I struggled with the same stuff the first time I made my own pizza but then I learned a few tricks to make pizza making a little bit easier.
Store bought pizza dough is noting like homemade. And throwing a pizza on the grill will make you crave pizza every day.
Why don't you come over to my house so we can instill a love of homemade pizza into you?
I am impressed you made your own sauce and am happy you have now shared with me that it isn't worth it :)
With the pizza stone, once it is out of the oven put the dough on first then all your toppings (just be really fast), I think this might solve some problems! Sorry you burned your hand- but I don't believe that you swore.
And I also love the winco dough, so easy and tasty... and they even have wheat!
You make me laugh.
