I often get too lazy to make my own crust, so I buy a package of premade crusts. But never those New York style paper thing things. I like a crust that has some body to it that rises just a touch around the edges but not as thick as a door mat. I probably add way too many toppings. for most people's tastes but at the same time one of my 12" pizzas will fill 3 people more than 2 extra-large takeouts will Light on the sauce 4 to 6 different meats 3 to 5 different veggies and 3 cheeses
