    It’s because making actual great pizza is super fucking hard and 99% of RESTAURANTS can’t even do it properly, let alone great. Making great pizza is an artform that requires a shit ton of control and balance over like a hundred variables.

    Most people just want cheap and easy pizza at home, not a multi-generational, obsessive hobby that requires deep scientific knowledge and data tracking that’s basically a universally devalued trade.

      People need to get off the idea that only doing things perfectly is worth doing.

      No, making even mediocre pizza is still worth doing, because even mediocre pizza with an oblong shape and lumpy topping distribution can be pretty great when it’s still hot and crispy and you’re having fun making it.

      I have a pizza oven. I make a lot of pizza at home, and I eat a lot of pizza out at restaurants. I enjoy it even when I know it’s not perfect. Because pizza is fun and even bad pizza is good in its own way.
