Anyway....you stick to your fast food outlet type pizza and I'll stick to the more authentic type.

Oh ... yes..... the old "this wasn't for me ... it was for a friend" excuse ... "I made some pizza but it weren't for me ..." I believe you .... NOT!

I can't be doing with thick base pizza which has become increasingly popular over the years. I'm still mastering the making of them in my wood fired oven however as I'm not a big fan of Pizza it's taking some time.
Evidently ...ahmmm ... cough .... cough ..

What a shocker! Bleedin' "talkin' the talk" but not "walkin' the walk"! I guess you've posted it so must be proud of it ... but seriously it is completely opposite to what you described. It is thick with far too much uncooked ghoo topping. Anyway, is that mayo or béchamel sauce you've slapped all over it? And what are those green specs in the sauce? Perhaps it was all left over from the cauliflower cheese?

You need to look at the pictures of my pizza again. It is very thin, except at the edges where the air balloons. Whole idea of using matured dough in a Neapolitan. The skin of the dough is thin and crisp but the dough inside is as soft as a pillow. That's what around 1000f does. It's around a quarter of the thickness of the one you made which looks like a solid bread base. Sort of welsh rarebit. You're never going to cook a decent pizza in that oven I'm afraid. It ain't good for pizza.

Have another go and post some pictures.
