always makes me smile when I see though 'dough' packages in the market (who can't add flour water and yeast)? Crazy!
or even worse the boxes of dough mix, that are just flour and yeast... for like 5dollars

Did you mean 75% of the cost? On the other hand, I've tried making pizza at home before and it seems like when you look at the price of cheese alone, 175% of the price might be a reasonable figure. I'd have a pretty tough time stretching $15 to make 4 pizzas.
no not really, you don't buy the already shredded cheese (that's a huge waste of money). you buy the cheese in big ass blocks, then shred it yourself. I can make a pizza with almost everything on it for about 3 bucks my cost.

Me!

Well, I can make the dough and have (and make my own bread often). But I do buy the dough to make it easier for us and faster to make.

Huh. Now that think about it...I'm stuck home with a sick kid for a second day...maybe it's time to see if my yeast is still good and make some bread.

Yeah, I already do that and I still don't see matching the price. Pre-shredded cheese doesn't even really work with pizza because the fiber they use to keep it from sticking together in the bag prevents it from melting well.

I upgraded my old one from 8.1 to 10 and it ran slow as molasses. Rolling it back took longer than updating it. But now I bought a windows 10 and it runs soooo nicely.
That was an 8, mine is 7 and it works just fine without 10. HP said don't put 10 on it cause it will destroy it and it did my laptop. I had to factory restore it 3 times after 10 got done with it. It doesn't work with 7.

It's worth it to make your own dough and sauce too... takes more effort but it is cheaper and tastes better.

Ouch! I didn't realize there was a big problem with going from 7 to 10. Did it not give you a choice to update or something?

I have a very small aquaponics rig set up.... and I'm only marginally ashamed to admit over half the planting space is devoted to pizza ingredients. >.>

I guess now I need to find some grand kids.
