I'm fortunate that my husband built me a pizza oven in the garden. When we light that we have people from everywhere showing up for a night of good food and laughter
A pizza oven is a very sociable thing. And because it's outside and nibbling and drinking, you actually eat a lot less. So easy to eat a pizza made for three at home when slammed in the oven, with all the extra toppings
Ooooo, a pizza oven, how lucky! It would be awesome to have one of those and make traditional hearth-baked pizzas.
I don't put a lot of stuff on my pizzas, either. Light sauce, light cheese and usually veg, like onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, sometimes tomato and/or olives. But rarely do I put all of that on one pizza at the same time. I don't like pizzas loaded up with a ton of junk. Granted, I use healthy ingredients, but I don't like a lot at once. Especially cheese. I can't stand a pizza that's swimming in cheese. Which is one of the reasons I like making my own because I control the ingredients. Pizzas ordered from a pizza parlor usually have so much cheese on them that they're a big mushy pile of greasy mess.
One of my favorite pizzas to make at home is a BLT. I also like ham and pineapple. I can't stand pepperoni. Occasionally I like sausage, but it has to be GOOD sausage; not rubbery pellet sausage.
Indian food, you can keep that. Not crazy about it at all.
