This week on Home Movies to coincide with the start of “turn your oven on” season, it’s PIZZA. Not the thin, crispy New York-style pizza, and certainly not brick-oven Neapolitan-style pizza, but a thick, crunchy, grandma-style pizza, arguably the easiest pizza to make at home. If you have a sheet pan and an oven that goes to 450°, you’re in business. Starting with a crispy yet fluffy focaccia-ish base topped with a simple tomato sauce, it’s a choose your own adventure toppings parade. TLDR; you, yes you, can make extremely good pizza tonight. And you should!
