There are so many reasons!

Is it not true to say that pretty much everyone loves pizza? Is it also fair to say that most people have never actually made a pizza at home, from scratch I mean? These two things are therefore weird, don’t you think?

Also, the ingredients for pizza are easily accessible, all you need is flour, water, yeast & salt (dough), a tomato sauce topping (if you’re using one, not all pizza has one), and then your toppings, which can just be cheese, if you like. And kids love pizza, another two things that go well together, especially during a cost-of-living crisis!

You don’t need anything fancy to make pizza; a conventional kitchen oven doesn’t make a lesser quality / standard of pizza than an expensive, swanky, wood-fired oven.

No-one knows everything about pizza because it’s a constantly evolving art, and that’s what we love about it. There are so many yeasts, so many flours, and you can dress a pizza with anything you like (meat, fruit, dairy, vegetables, etc). Most of us think a pizza starts with a tomato sauce on a base, onto which further ingredients are added, well, it absolutely doesn’t.
