About
I have tried a lot of crusts for homemade pizza, but this one is the best. I got the recipe originally from allrecipes.com and tweaked it to my liking as reflected below. Also, you may have to adjust your oven depending on how you like your crust, but you won't be disappointed in this classic American favorite pie.
