The Crust

Corn meal Cornmeal is a necessary addition to the dough, but too much will alter the flavor and change the color.  1/3 cup per pizza gives it a nice balance.

The Sauce

Simmer your sauce  The sauce will have a much better consistency if you take the time to cook the spices together and ultimately thicken your sauce.

Understand the spices Play around with the spices being used.  What kind of sauce do you like?  Sweet, garlicy, salty?
