Pepperoni, meatballs, garden tomatoes and jalapenos, olives, moz, green can parmesan, and sauce.
I added a little fennel seed to the dough which offered some great depth of flavor.

Nice idea. I am absolutely in love with fennel seeds, and would use them more often, but my local grocer only sells them in those little quarter-sized spice containers for an exorbitant markup. (McCormick of course)
A lot of what I make is vegetarian, but adding fennel seeds and a bit of the 'three peppers' (red, black, white [MSG]) can help impart a sort of meat-like, satisfying taste).
Been a long time since I made pizza, but IIRC I starting to use sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds to the bottom of the pie to help preventing sticking, rather than just more flour / corn meal. I need a new oven, daggit.

If you like the flavor of fennel seed and you ever find a source for sourwood honey, I definitely recommend trying it.
If I'm cooking on bare metal, I'll use some cornmeal or semolita flour. In this case I just use parchment paper. Zero stick.

You'd either have to call me a rich man, or "Appalachian Dan" for that to work, but I appreciate the thought, lol.
Seriously though-- try some poppies, sesames, or whatever goodness next time as an anti-stick. "A little dab'l do ya!" It'll help add a sort of delicious bagel / pretzel vibe from the bottom of the crust.
Nobody thinks of the bottom of the crust, anymore. Isn't that a bit sad? 😐

I got dragged to a honey tasting recently. My wife fell in love with the sourwood honey. I might have to make some fennel seed infused honey as an affordable substitute.
Bottom crust is important.

Hit up an Indian store. 7 oz bags are a few bucks.

I can do you one better. I work at one. Parents own a small indian store and I ran it for a decent while. I basically live here.

Indian food & Indian spices are just about my favorite foods on Planet Earth.
I still sautee with ghee, and also have my big bag of Panch Puran and delicious cumin seeds. Also, some nice bags of... uh... like fennel seeds coated in a candy-mint layer, for after the meal? (I forget the name)
Let's be real, tho-- I'm a complete idiot when it comes to making anything remotely close to Indian food. But it really is the BEST food on Earth.

I was ready to rip you a new asshole, really lay into you if the crust was slightly off. But no, you made a proper large pizza without sacrificing a delicious, chewy edge. Good on you!!

That looks tasty. Did you make your own meatballs?

Frozen corporate meatballs

Looks delicious! Just one question - homemade meatballs?

Corporate freezer meatballs. Reheated in an air fryer for a bit, cut in half and added to the pizza
