OK, I am going on record. I will never order a pizza from a pizza parlor again, at least not in the wasteland I live in now. The chains suck and the independents are even WORSE in my community.
I live by myself and don't see myself taking the time to mix dough, wait for it to rise, pound it out... I would have to start making pizza waaay before I wanted it - which is supposed to be the benefit of a freaking pizza parlor - they anticipated your need and had a good dough and fresh ingredients to bake a pie for you when you wanted one. Great concept, but implementation in this town fails miserably and consistently and I have had it. But I need pizza...
I am not a fan of frozen, and am trying to eat less packaged/processed food overall. But I still want pizza.
So far my solution is to use flour tortillas and while they are a serviceable delivery vehicle for sauce, cheese, and whatever else I add they are kind of a poor substitute for a good pizza crust. Anyone know of a crust you can buy that would be better than tortillas?
Or maybe I should try stacking three or four tortillas? I am not sure that is going to help the flavor and consistency any though.
I would even consider "doctoring" frozen pizza. I used to do that with Totino's because they were cheaper than anything else and seemed at least as good. So let me hear it. What are the best pre-made crusts or frozen pies out there?

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
