I like my homemade pizza better than any standard purchased
pizza. (I've had snobby pizzas that I liked as well as my
own.) For me, it's all about the crust. A bland crust
(like Pizza Hut's) is a deal-breaker for me. With a good
crust, you don't need to load it up with a lot of toppings
or sauce.

I remember when Domino's was good pizza, back before they
went national.
