I'm quarantined with two Italians (father-in-law and his mother) from Northern Italy and had been planning on making pizza from scratch to surprise them but always thought I would make a huge mess in the kitchen... from the video, it looks totally manageable! The hardest part is having to wait 11 hours to eat it!

I typically buy my dough from Trader Joe's but what to start doing it myself. There's a recipe in the article, but anyone else have a goto recipe they love?

Almost anything on serious eats by Kenji is good imo. There is a whole section on pizza but the above recipe is my favorite.

Please ignore all these experts, all they want is to make you feel special because you drink/eat their stuff.

Above a certain threshold one cannot tell the difference between good and very good. Wine tasters know it and it has been very well documented.

When it comes to flavours, as long as it doesn't harm you, your judgement is as good as anybody else.

N.Italy: I'm quarantined [well, it's lockdown, really] with two Italians, one is my wife (other is son): I'm not allowed even remotely near the kitchen. Every mealtime has become a stereotypically-italian ultra-marathon. 2.4kg heavier since. Yes, i am trying to keep fit but going from 30-200km daily bicycle rides (eas 28km commute and back for work) to balconia+pasta+pasta sure takes it toll.
