 Hi, Michael,

 RH> Mom woud sometimes buy the boxed cheese pizza mixes, Appian Way
 JM> Oy! At least she used Appian Way, which to my
 JM> mind has the best seasoned sauce of any of the
 JM> commercial kits. But the whole point of that
 JM> box is to let you add your own fresh mozzarella
 JM> instead of being given dried cheeses, a la Chef Boy-Ar-Dee.

 ML> I remember my mother getting an off-brand pizza mix when I was a
 ML> young thing. It was a sad sight, the crust being almost crackerlike
 ML> and sort of burned, the sauce tasting of tomato paste and little
 ML> else, the cheese like breadcrumbs mixed with wax. Oh yes, and

 Ew!

 ML> little rat dropping sausage bits. From that moment I knew I hated
 ML> pizza, which I did until Ronny Gravitz's birthday party, which he
 ML> had at the Pizzateria near Wheaton Plaza. I will still revel in a
 ML> decent pizza, even if it greps me nigh unto death.

 Also experience with a box mix helps, like knowing
 to let the mixed dough rest and rise a little
 before forming into the crust, and often I let
 the crust rest and rise a bit under a towel,
 before I load it up and bake it. But I won't
 bother with fakey low-quality dried cheese or
 pseudo dried sausage or other toppings. I can do
 those parts myself just fine, but I do appreciate
 the convenience of a dough mix sized just to
 my needs for a single crust, and a packet of
 well-seasoned sauce sized for a single pizza, and
 as I said, I liked the seasoning of the Appian Way
 sauce. I was quite shocked when I tried Little
 Caesar's pizza, with unseasoned tomato sauce, as far
 as I could taste. What are they thinking? Bleaghhh.

 JM> commercial pizzerias do. Any ideas if the toppings
 JM> on a pizza are better under or over the cheese layer?

 ML> There was a Boston place known for putting its toppings on before
 ML> the cheese, and it had fierce defenders and fierce detractors. I
 ML> don't think there's a general rule about this, but for me, I prefer
 ML> everything except pepperoni underneath the cheese.

 Thanks for the input! I sort of think as a "pie",
 the fillings should be between the bottom and the
 top cheese crust. And I like the slight browning
 of the cheese.

 JM> If you can even get Appian Way where you are, count
 JM> yourself lucky.
