So I'm having a pizza craze so I'd thought I'd ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.

For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it's too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I'm not a huge fan.

Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.

Toppings - It's either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.

Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I'd have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.

Cheese layer - Don't really care, just don't make it cheap wax

Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons "Market" range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.

Frozen? It's either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands "NY" range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.

Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.

So what are your preferences in these categories?

I got myself a pizza oven over the summer. That thing is awesome. Beats the pants out of any take out or fancy restaurant pizza. Thin crust, but not hard and crunchy like you'd get from a take out place. It stays nice and chewy.

As for toppings, it's just not pizza without pepperoni. I like mushrooms and peppers with some sausage. A bit of onion if there's room.

I do love me a deep dish or Detroit style pizza, though. I can't do those in a pizza oven, as those are better suited for a traditional oven. I haven't tried making them at home, since I don't have any pans.
