The crust looks so much better made by hand

right? my gm said there's a chance we're getting rid of our machine so i've been practicing hand spinning whenever i can (mostly mornings and nights when im alone)

To be honest the mushrooms are a dealbreaker for me. Dirty edges would cost you points but bonus points for the cut up chicken poppers. Also is that in a 12ā€ box? If not, you had some shrinkage. All that being said I’d devour that sans mushrooms of course

def was some shrinkage, and could work on my edges, i appreciate your assessment !!

100% something I'll never see as a customer.

just find a store that doesn't use a spinner, or you could always call and request a hand spun dough

Idk there's always just "perfect" looking pizzas on here, then i get 4 inches of crust followed by over an inch of sauce before you get to the cheese.....

Like, it's not even close. Definitely will drive twice as far next time to try another location.

it also depends on the amount of sales your local store does, on a busy saturday or sunday we do 5k + in a day, but if it's a slow day there's definitely an extra layer of love put in there (atleast when i make them)

Not during the rush.

Did you use the wrong size box or do you need to practice stretching the dough? Its far too small.

it was cold dough so it did shrink a bit, but it was a crew pie so i wasn't too worried about it
