There was another thread that ovens were mentioned.. i wouldn't cook a pizza in a home oven unless I had my trusty oven bricks - you can get them at various places fairly inexpensively - and they get a nice even heat - and make an amazing crust... (they are also great for bread baking as welll ) and a few spritzes in a hot oven with a spray bottle of water makes for enough humidity in the oven to give your crusts a bit of chewyness....

I freeze bread dough a lot - and have never had a problem with it - the only bread doough that doesn't freeze well is sourdough...

I'm still perfecting my pizza dough... haven't had the inclination to do it lately.. but one of the best recipes that I've used was a very old recipe from the Frugal Gourmet (jeff smith) the big difference between his recipe and others - his recipes were done in poundage - not cups of flour.
