You've seen it before but it's always worth mentioning how cheap it is.
Foreshorting is lying to you. The sardine and jalapeno pizza are the same size.
Cost per person without toppings: $2.77 Toppings are cheap. Toppings can be scraps from other meals.
Yesterday I had a long conversation about lunch elementary school protocols with my wife. She has a fixed menu like you show here.
At my school they would take your entree order with attendance. 45 minutes before lunch a stack of blue or pink card would show up and he handed out on your way to lunch so you could get what you asked for. There were always two items to pick from plus the salad and type of milk.
Either burritos or pizza were available almost every day. Sloppy Joe, spaghetti, hamburger or something else was the alternate choice. All the choices sucked. But burrito or pizza as the backup always got me through.
Rarely they would offer that same burrito deep fried. Chimichanga day was always my favorite.
At her school you got what you got. At my school there was always a choice.
I lived in formally Mexican held territory. Just an hour from the border. Why didn't we have tacos? We should have had tacos.
...yeah, I will put pizza on the menu for next week.
Thank you for your service.
I forget if I mentioned this before, but I got really interested in making pizza when I was maybe 19yo. I got a 'history book' about pizza, which introduced me to the idea that it actually had much humbler beginnings, as a flatbread (like focaccia, much later) with a whole gamut of toppings, like herbs, oils, and even fruit. Also, just the fact that you can make it an impressive number of ways, some of which barely resemble what we typically see in the States.
Indeed, last time I did a deep dive, it seemed that meals like 'proto-pizza' and sandwiches are surprisingly ancient in terms of known history. They would likely go back to shortly after the invention of bread (but not liquid bread, i.e. beer), which seems to predate even the Agricultural Evolution, ~12Kyrs ago. So, somewhere from 14.5Kyrs ago to us much as ~30Kyrs, or even older(!) [WP link]
Anyway, whenever I see pizza posts like this, it gives me an immediate warm feeling, and a hearkening back to my youth, when I had a load of fun experimenting with all this stuff, but never came close to perfecting any of it, which still bothers me today, decades later. :S
I forget, do you still have plans to build a pizza oven or get a pizza steel?
This one was an experiment. I normally pre cook the crust but for this one it was toppings on raw dough. It cooked but it was definitely not ideal. I'm usually experimenting with every batch.
Sweet
Nice looking crust
Makes rectangular pizza.
Doesn't distribute pepperoni evenly.
For reference:
Doesn’t distribute pepperoni evenly.
Here's how to do that properly, Kraken:

See my other reply
Look carefully and you will see that the pepperoni isn't evenly sized. That's because I'm paying $1 a pound for pepperoni which is basically pepperoni scraps and ends. If I tried to do even distribution it would look exactly like the one in the other reply.
My only qualm is that i'm such a cheese whore and a stickler about my pizzas, I need forty tons of cheese on each pizza... at which point its quite pricey and rather unhealthy 😅
I think I have to wean myself down to reasonable (ish) cheese levels
On average, these pizzas contain about 6 oz of cheese. Walmart has a great value brand of high moisture whole milk mozzarella that does a great job of Browning and melting. It's like $3.74 a pound. I could easily make that 8 oz per Pizza. I could go up from there. But at some point you lose the balance.
But the heart wants what the heart wants. And he wants cheese in your case. Check out that Walmart super cheap melted cheese!. It's not in the regular cheese block section. It's usually over by the Mexican cheeses and the various shavings and shreddings of Parmesan. Cheese of equal quality usually costs twice that much. So this is a way for you to get all the cheese you want on a budget
Thanks i'll definitely check out walmart, hopefully they carry it up here but since i'm in Canada I dont know that walmart even carries any Mexican cheeses 😑
Fingers crossed because I live a good (real) mozza
