Most people believe you can’t make homemade pizza taste as good as the one from the pizzeria, so they stop trying. But a few failed attempts shouldn’t discourage you. By following some simple tips, you can make homemade pizza taste even better than the one made at a restaurant. Check them out below.

Get the Pizza Dough to Room Temperature

Your pizza dough will often determine how good your homemade pizza turns out. You should make sure to follow the recipe to the point and always use pizza dough at room temperature. This will make it easier to stretch and get to the desired shape.

Use Quality Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce can make or break your pizza. Spend a bit more on quality tomato sauce since you can’t compensate for the richness of the flavor with anything else.

Don’t Go Overboard with Toppings

Make sure you use just the right amount of toppings. Putting on too much will “drown” the pizza and will cause it to be undercooked.

Brush the Crust with Olive Oil

This is a simple trick, but it makes a world of difference. Simply blush the crust with some olive oil before baking, and you will end up with just the right kind of crispy.

Bake on High Heat

Finally, make sure you preheat your oven and bake the pizza at high temperature. You should aim for 450F and 500F and get it out once the cheese is melted and slightly brownish.

A popular concept of the modern era that people love to talk about it is “less is more”. This actually isn’t a new idea. People have endorsed it since the dawn of time, just in different ways. But nevertheless, it’s still an important idea to talk about, because for whatever reason we humans still love going overboard with just about everything. This is definitely true when it comes to pizza, and we’re here to say that that’s a problem. Because less is truly more when it comes to pizza.

Chill With the Toppings

When we make custom pies, we sometimes find ourselves going a bit wild with the toppings. We’ll throw on some mushrooms, then add some garlic because why not, and then before we know it we’ve turned it into an all-out veggie pizza. We’ll even toss on some pepperoni for good measure.

Don’t Lose Sight of the Main Attraction

We’re sorry for all the lactose intolerant types, but the main attraction with pizza is the cheese and sauce. Sure, the bread is darn important too, but if the sauce and cheese aren’t right, the pizza has lost. In order to make a good pizza, you gotta keep things simple. Instead of adding more toppings, add more cheese and sauce. Don’t lose sight of the main attraction and you’ll be good to go.
