Pizza is love, pizza is life.
Pizza, however, in my book, is one of those foods that have an upper threshold on how good they are. I have had some really good pizza, but nothing that has changed my life

IMO the only limiting factor for pizza's ability to change lifes is that it's pretty hard to make a great pizza at home.
Though it's also life-changing if you get fat from deep-freeze or delivery pizza ...
i see this sentiment a lot and it fucking baffles me, the only hard part about making pizza is making the dough, and you can generally just.. buy the dough ready-made..
at least here in sweden pizza kits (pre-rolled-out dough and a jar of tomato sauce) are a bog standard thing in stores and you just top them with whatever you like, and it always comes out perfectly fine and tasty as fuck, the bottom browns fine too!
it's not particularly more difficult than making spaghetti and meatballs..
I've had quite a few home-made pizzas, and while most of them were alright, none of them tasted remotely similar to pizzeria pizza. Maybe the issue was that most of them were made with home-made dough, but I assume the real issue is that a standard consumer oven isn't at all similar to a pizzeria oven.
i mean yeah sure it doesn't taste the same, but it tastes really fucking good and i don't see why it has to taste exactly like restaurant pizza
I suppose it's subjective.
Most of the time, the issue is indeed the oven. Sure, you can mess up your dough (or worst, use store bought one) but the culprit is likely not the innocent pizza itself.
