I still love the N's Pizza Plaza Pizza(located at our hometown), it closed a couple of years but i can still remember the taste and the smell of their home made pizza, the thin dough with simple tomato sauce and cheese with hotdogs or ham,pineapples and a bunch of stuff.It bring back so many memories of childhood.

I prefer to cook pizza at home with my own pizza crust I learned while I lived in Europe. Here's the recipe, you can also make great rolls with it!
Pizza and Roll dough:
Makes 2 - 16 inch pizzas
1 package dry active yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
1 1/2 cups very warm water (110°F)
4 cups all-purpose flour, more for dusting (or 18 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (kosher salt preferred)
2 tablespoons olive oil
To make the dough:
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and set aside (a Pyrex 2-cup measure makes for easy pouring; be sure the cup isn’t cold).
Put the flour and salt in a food processor (or GLASS mixing bowl if hand mixing) fitted with the steel blade; process briefly to mix.
With the machine running or stirring vigorously in the bowl, add the water-yeast mixture in a steady stream.
Turn the processor off and add the oilPulse a few times to mix in the oil (mix well in bowl).
Divide the dough:
Scrape the soft dough out of the processor or bowl and onto a lightly floured surface.
With lightly floured hands, quickly knead the dough into a mass, incorporating any bits of flour or dough from the processor or bowl that weren’t mixed in.
Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces with a knife or a dough scraper.
Roll each piece into a tight, smooth ball, kneading to push the air out.
You can make this dough the same day or a couple of weeks ahead. Put the individual balls in plastic bags and refrigerate overnight or freeze for up to a month.
To use dough that same day:
If you want to make one pizza as soon as possible, put the dough ball on a lightly floured surface, cover it with a clean dishtowel, and let rise until almost double in size, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450F
To shape pizza:
Put the newly risen ball of dough on a lightly floured surface. Dust the top with flour.
Using your fingertips, press the ball down into a flat rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
Lift the dough and lay it over the back of the fist of one hand. Put your other fist under the dough, right next to your first fist. Now gently stretch the dough by moving your fists away from each other.
Each time you do this stretch, rotate the dough. Continue stretching and rotating until the dough is thin, about 1/4 inch, and measures about 9 inches across.
Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface. Rub a bit of flour onto a pizza pan (or a baking sheet). Gently lift the stretched dough onto the pizza pan or baking sheet.
Top the pizza, scattering the ingredients around to within ½ inch of the border.
Bake until the edges are golden, about 10-15 minutes.
Makes a delicious and simple pizza dough... easy to work with, great for kids!
Pizza the next day: If you want to bake the pizzas the next day, line a baking sheet with a floured dishtowel, put the dough balls on it, and cover them with plastic wrap, giving them room to expand (they’ll almost double in size), and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight.
To use dough that has been refrigerated overnight, simply pull it out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before shaping the dough into a pizza.
To freeze dough: Dust each generously with flour as soon as you’ve made it, and put each one in a separate zip-top bag.
Freeze for up to a month.
Bon appetit!

Pizza Hut is my favorite pizza. I think their crust is to die for. I love my pizza to be really cheesey too, lol. I think my favorite pizza though is sausage, mushrooms, and black olives...oh with extra cheese too. Yummy.

Well, It's not quite my favorite, but it definately is a good one... BAKED POTATO PIZZA
It's simply that... a pizza crust, smeared with Sour Cream. Then layer thinly sliced baked potatoes. Cover with cheese and bacon bits, and bake. Yummy! It was a big seller at the pizza place I worked at.

The best pizza every is pepperoni pizza from Ken's Pizza in Oklahoma. I think they have locations in California. I know my parents loved Round Table pizza when we lived in California. My favorite type of pizza is thin crust, cheese pizza, extra cheese. But like I said, the best actual pizza in the best restaurant is pepperoni at Ken's.
Oh, and you didn't ask about the worst, but I'd give that title to Papa John's.

Actually, I have two pizza's that are the best tasting I've ever had. One is a white sauce pizza, not made with tomatoe sauce, but mostly cheese, from a small town in Florida, Moon River I think is the name of the place. Anyway, the other is from a small town in Mississippi, called Pizza Pro, they have a delicious pizza that has cheese and lots of it, and ham and bacon, canadian bacon. Delicious!!!!

I am also a big fan of pizza and every where I go I taste pizza. The pizza I liked the most is pizza from a not so famous restaurant in Mumbai,India with chicken tikka toppings.

The best pizza that I have tasted is the "Cheese Burst Pizza" from Dominoes. It is awesome, simply the best. The pizza crust has a thick layer of liquid cheese, spreaded throughout the crust. When I took a bite of it, the liquid cheese mixed with the toppings, tasted heavenly. The cheese coated my taste buds, and delivered a great feeling. I would rate it the best, and am searching for something even better.

Hawaiin pizzas are one of my favorites in the restaurants. It comes in different types such as chicken, pine apple, extra cheese, meat etc. The taste and the flavor add attraction to this food item. You should try it one time in a pizza restaurant. It would be a tasty and good food to have in the evening or in your meal time. There are many restaurants which provide these types of pizza at their menu. You can also try them at the comfort of your home by ordering it for home delivery. When ordering these pizzas, you should order them only from a trusted restaurant. I came to know about this restaurant in Atlanta. It provides online ordering and better services. You can find them at
