SF, Please stop using the term "chef" or "masterchef" when you post recipes. You are degrading that highly priced title when you suggest burning the cheese and using a bland tomato paste as a base for a pizza. It hurts my soul.

I can't even begin to explain how incorrect this statement is. It flies in the face of centuries of culinary training and research.
Pita bread does not equal real pizza dough.

OP: If you don't want to bake (which if you have the time and skill, use snowy's recipe for pizza dough, it will be worth it) go with a higher end frozen pizza dough. They are already formed and ready for toppings.
Some people like a chunky sauce for pizza, some like a thin sauce for pizza. You can either buy a pre-made sauce then doctor it up yourself or buy a good marinara sauce to use. The marinara sauce will be chunky and the pizza sauce will be thin. They are really the same thing, just one has been blended to be a thin sauce.
Cut your toppings thin and uniform. You want them to cook at the same rate and a heavy layer of toppings will weigh down the dough.
I'd really recommend making the dough, it's a handy skill to have and can be used for so many different recipes (calzones and breadsticks).
