about the olive oil -I don´t understand why some people insist on pouring lots of it onto their pizzas. I´ve seen people do it on TV shows too and I don´t get it at all. But of course they weren´t ITALIANS , lol

i've never seen anyone do that. i must live a sheltered life or something. the best Italian spots here DO put some on their bruschetta though. wouldn't be the same without it.

My electric oven sucks for cooking pizza so I use the skillet/broiler method. I heat up a flat cast iron pan on top of the stove and get the broiler going. When the skillet is nice and hot I slide the pizza onto it and then put it under the broiler. Only takes a few minutes to cook and I get better results than trying to use a crappy electric oven on bake to cook a pizza.
Not the best pies but they work for me.

Oh, so many pies posted here I'd love to take a bite of.
Im'a Pizza Freak. I have a younger brother that owns a local Italian Kitchen.
I usually make a pizza at least every other week, whatever type of dough I'm wanting at the time.
I also make my own pasta.
A pic of one of my double cheese, double cup and crisp pepperoni. The dough was a poolish, 72 hours refrigerated ferment.

Mozzarella sprinkled in each layer, moderately, with feta or goat cheese and freshly grated parmesan on top.
As a younger hippie university student, I worked in a combination counterculture/sports bar pizza restaurant where we dealt a LOT of dope out the loading dock doors on the 2nd floor. And made some killer pizzas and sandwiches, too.

My wife doesn't do jalapeno on her pizzas, but I love it.
Homemade sauce (mine), whole wheat New York-style crust, as thin as possible (incorporating -LOTS- of olive oil and gluten into the dough when kneading; the secret to a chewy and simultaneously crispy NY style crust), and minimum to moderate sauce, then onions on the bottom in the sauce, maybe sweet peppers if that's desired (but too many fresh veggies in the sauce layer will cause increased moisture in the thing; not good, imo), then a sprinkling of mozzarella, then the meat layer, depending on what meats are being used. Then a layer of thick-sliced fresh mushrooms, then jalapeno, black olives and/or sliced colossal jalapeno and garlic-stuffed green olives, the feta and or goat cheese in small 'nuggets' spread around, another modest layer of mozzarella sprinkled around, and a healthy dusting of freshly grated parmesan.
The better mozzarella cheeses will get stringy like that when melted and still hot.
I used to order a pizza when I ran a men's group for batterers, to the point that the restaurant, without my knowledge, put my name on the pizza menu; I discovered it when I was back in that town for a recreational visit years later. I inquired as to what my royalties might be. They gave me a free soda.
The pie on their menu with my name attached was sliced sweet onion, pepperoni, sliced black olives, fresh sliced mushrooms, fresh sliced jalapeno, and mozzarella with feta.
I'm thinking any further/future requests for royalties when I head back there shortly will go unanswered. I'll be there in about 2 months.
right on brother! that sounds like a good pie, but i cant handle the spicy like i used toMy wife doesn't do jalapeno on her pizzas, but I love it.

Hahahaha!!
I think there were about 2 customers in there when I asked about my 'royalties' many years ago.
The fact that we'd ordered enough pizzas of that specific variety, mostly for the Men's Group I referenced, that they knew my name and the contents of the pizza.... That was like some weird prehistoric version of Orwellian monitoring or something.
They also offered a slight variant of my original pie, also referencing me, but to quote Forrest Gump, "I never saw any of that money...".
