I use the 21 count or bigger. Fresh is best, frozen works so long as you
completely defrost them and then let them sit on paper towels to draw out
the excess water. Excess water will ruin the pizza. I go a layer of
mozzarella and some provolone then sauce then shrimp, garlic on top of that
then grated parmesan and Romano then the parsley. A little dried basil
works nicely too.

It rocks. The secret is a screaming hot oven and a hot stone. Must be
cooked fast. Lay the cheese down, but don't grate it, use the food
processor to turn it into a gravel like consistency. Then make little
pockets, drop in a raw egg and sprinkle with chopped bacon and parmesan and
a touch of salt. It works best if the crust is not so thin and not cooked
crisp, keep it a bit soft..
