For the best crust, use high-protein bread flour (12-14% protein).
Don't overload the pizza with toppings; less is more for a crispy crust.
If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet, but the crust won't be as crispy.
Experiment with different toppings to create your own signature pizza.
