No , the cause is piling everything in the middle of the pie . I was
a Pizza Slut manager for a while ... when I make pizza at home I try to
spread all the toppings around the edges . The problem with center
loading is that the dough in the middle doesn't get fully cooked .
Doughy pizza sucks . My pizza passes the wife's "cold pizza for
breakfast" test . Highest accolade I can think of . ( married 44 years
on the 16th) If it sucks she tells me ...
