Drop the dough in flour to prevent it from sticking. -
You gotta smack the dough around to flatten it out. -
Create a rim along the edge. -
Lui perfects my form. -
Mama mia! I’m doing it! -

To spread the sauce, hold the ladle as close to the spoon as possible for more control. -
My beautiful bullseye. -
A little sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and oregano. -
And now for the mozzarella cheese. -
Make sure not to get it on the crust. That’s a big no-no. -
“Don’t be stingy,” Lui tells me. -
I think I’m doing good, right? -
Maybe a little green spinach for color might be good. -
And maybe some olives too, for good measure. -
AH! The pizza is sticking to the paddle so Lui turns it upside down using a pizza pan. (Uncertain that this technique will work, I’m holding my breath.) -
Into the oven it goes for about 8 minutes or so. -
While my pizza bakes, I drool over the other pizzas. Here’s the Philly cheese pizza. -
More pizza. -
It’s my pizza and it’s got a tan. -
So proud of myself. -
My pizza has another round of baking (in a hotter oven this time), so I tour the store again. Check out this cauldron of Lui’s specialty sauce. -
Ding! It’s ready. Time to take it out of the 600 degree oven. -
Please don’t let me drop it… -
Lui, me, and our creation. -
Lui shows me how to properly cut a pizza. -
Now that’s a good looking slice, if I do say so myself.
