If you hate mixing up pizza dough like me, this pre-made dough is inexpensive & crisps up perfectly on the bottom level of an electric oven. Sells out often:

I might be a retarded, but mixing pizza dough takes me about 90 seconds by hand. Once it's mixed, I let it ferment for 36 hours.

I have heard you're supposed to mix it more, but I have no idea why.

It's a Kitchenaid conspiracy.
 
The objective best way to reheat pizza is just to acknowledge the fact that leftover pizza will never be as good as fresh pizza (YWNBATAFP, You Will Never Be As Tasty As Fresh Pizza) and just heat it up any way that is convenient. For me, it's just reheating it on light heat in an air fryer or oven and just making sure it doesn't dry out too much.
I usually reheat leftover pizza in my toaster oven with a bit of boiling water in a small oven-safe bowl at the bottom row, the steam helps soften the crust up a bit. I've also heard that you can do it on a fry pan with a small amount of oil but I've never tested that.

If you're intending to use it the same day, you should knead it more (and use more yeast). I generally do the no-knead with a long cold rise in the fridge and a small amount of yeast. It's just a lot better that way.

Oh, I use yeast and warm water. As far as I can tell, I make it normally, I just skip the "now knead it for an hour," or whatever step. I knead for about one minute.

A friend of mine recently stopped by my humble, filthy hovel and asked me what kind of flour I use in my pizza dough. I told him I use bread flour in my dough and he said that I should consider using “00” flour if I could find it.

I managed to find a 00 flour at my local Kroger-owned market but I’m still not sold on it, at worst I’ll give it to said friend.

Oh, and I recently found a two-pack of personal-sized Chicago style deep dish pizzas by Uno Pizzeria at another Kroger-owned market in my area. I liked them (God have mercy on my immortal soul) but they seemed to be there for a single day before disappearing. It may be because they were sold in the deli department since I can’t imaging them selling that quickly. I cooked each pizza on different days and they both managed to break near the center and drip their contents onto the bottom of my oven. Next time I’ll just give the whole “Bake directly on center rack” nonsense the finger and use a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with a bit of oil. Outside of that they were really tasty.
 
Papa Johns has been putting out a new stuffed crust pizza called the "Cheesy Calzone" Epic Stuffed Crust pizza, it's basically their standard stuffed crust with the addition of a ring of garlic-herbed ricotta cheese.

It's not that good, you can barely taste the ricotta.
This looks like the kind of pizza you'd find at a Japanese pizzeria, they tend to put weird toppings on their pizzas.

I wanna take this up a notch and troll people with something else stupid that looks like its from a 1950s cookbook. Like green bean casserole pizza. Thats a real stupidfood like viral-on-tiktok idea and Id feel a bit stupid and bad about wasting food but also even though I kinda hate green bean casserole I think it could end up looking like that and could be good. Put like some alfredo sauce white base thinned with that cream of mushroom, put the green beans on there and top it with like maybe parmesan or asiago shredded, and fried onion strips. Hell you might could even put something with a lot of msg or umami flavor on it like anchovies, the same way people use like fish sauce in sauces or soy sauce as a topping, or even double up on mushrooms and maybe spinach.

I was contemplating this all as I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, and now I have a bunch of ideas for just stupid ass pizza. Like pizza with potatoes on it, I feel like Ive seen or heard of that, if not mashed, then scalloped.

Pizza americana is a pizza with hot dog pieces and french fries on top. I remember having it for lunch in Perugia.
Jihad on that. Death to that. We need to nuke whatever subhumans did that and then put "Americana" on it.
 
How I've been making pizza crust the last several times adapted from this.

Mix 3/4 cup water with sugar, a little molasses, and a generous amount of yeast, proof in the oven briefly. Add some olive oil, 2 cups of generic all-purpose flour, any source of salt, garlic granulated/powdered, rosemary, red pepper flakes, whatever. I add some breadcrumbs or cornmeal right into the dough, and then proof the dough in the oven. Add more flour, crumbs, etc. if it's too moist. I bake it directly on an oiled rectangular aluminum baking sheet, with holes poked in the middle and all toppings added for about 12m at 425°F.

For toppings today I'm doing buffalo chicken, jalapeños, and mushrooms with BBQ sauce. I would use regular tomato sauce with different toppings. Regardless of the toppings, I sauté all of the ingredients together and add some sauce to stop browning, then spread the contents on the crust. Less sauce is needed that way.

I want to try adding some rice flour to dough but I misplaced it.

I'd try fermenting the dough instead of letting it rise for 30-60m in the oven but I'm lazy. I saw a guy on YouTube and he ferments dough for like a week in the fridge.
