Looking for a good pizza? Why don't you make it yourself?

Lots of you, who don't have this wonderful opportunity to be in Italy right now, seek a good traditional pizza, trying our various local restos and pizzerias. Very often you end up disillusioned and dissatisfied with what the waiter brings to your table. Well, may I propose sth to you? Why don't you invite some of your friends over this weekend and enjoy preparing a big pizza together? Pizza party rocks!!! Here are some tips and recipes I found on the NY Times website. Just remember to prepare the pizza dough at least 27h before the night you gather up (it needs to rest to be good, crispy and ready!)

Let's start with the dough, then. The recipe is here.
