Start Here

Hey, I'm Dave. Every recipe on this site is one I've actually made, tested, and filmed in my own kitchen. If you're brand new, start with these.

Your first pizza, tonight

• The Perfect Plain Cheese Pizza - Three mozzarellas, sauce dollops on top, and a pecorino base layer. The cheese pizza, perfected.
• Same-Day Pizza Dough - Mix at 10 AM, bake by dinner. The 6-hour dough that punches above its weight.
• Pizza Sauce, Basic + Herby Variation - Two cups of pizza sauce in 5 minutes. One can of crushed tomatoes, salt, and a choice: keep it clean or punch it up with basil and oregano.

Then level up

• Detroit Pizza - Brick cheese to the edges. Sauce on top. Lloyds pan, always.
• Cast Iron Pan Pizza, The Buttery, Cheesy, Crispy-Edged Method - 70% hydration dough, par-baked then flipped, blanketed in three cheeses with a frico-crispy edge. The pan pizza you make on a Tuesday and remember on Friday.
• The Pepperoni Pizzone - Pizza meets calzone. 15M+ views across platforms. My most-watched video of 2025.
