Pizza is an oven-baked, flat, disc shaped bread usually topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and then a selection of meats, salamis, seafood, cheeses, vegetables, herbs depending on taste and culture.
The bottom of the pizza (crust) may vary widely according to style, thin as in a typical hand-tossed pizza or Roman pizza, thick as in a typical pan pizza or Chicago-style pizza. It is traditionally plain, but may also be seasoned with garlic, herbs or stuffed with cheese.

Making Pizza is Healthy - Since you are making your own pizza, you have total control over the ingredients used (I encourage you to use the freshest ingredients available). The old standards, pepperoni, sausage, tomato sauce, and various cheeses make excellent toppings for pizza. There are many vegetables that can be used for pizza as well including fresh garlic, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini. Fresh seafood such as shrimp and clams can also compliment your pizza. Experiment! You will create new taste sensations, you are only limited to your imagination when deciding what to put on your pizza.
Save Lots of Money - You will be amazed at how economical it is to make your own pizza, the actual price of putting together a quality pizza at home is much cheaper than buying pizza at a pizzeria. One way to save money is by purchasing ingredients on sale, you can multiply your savings by obtaining items in bulk at a food discount warehouse. For example, some items like mozzarella cheese can be purchased in bulk. Use what you need, and freeze the rest to be used the next time you make pizza. The savings of buying your pizza ingredients in bulk is substantial.
