What happened?
We couldn't get the dough to stay spread out...it kept retracting and we ended up with a tiny deformed ball of dough.
That's weird. Did you use cold water? One time I accidentally used cold water and had a similar problem.
I think that was it. It was a little over a year ago, so the details are a bit fuzzy. We like the Whole Foods one, so that's what we've been doing. One day, we'll venture back to making our own though.

Make sure you use warm water.

Made a pretty delicious pizza tonight with just shit I had in the fridge. I mixed some minced garlic in with the sauce, used a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and some other cheeses. Topped with broccoli and red onions. It was incredible.
How do you prepare your dough? From scratch? Or do you get frozen stuff? I do that latter...Whole Foods has one I like, but it has to thaw out in olive oil for about 5 hours or so. It's pretty good though, and better than any premade / rolled dough I've tried.
What is this whole foods dough you speak of? I'd eventually like to start making my own again, but not now.

Yesterday, the only food critic that I actually enjoy here in this town tweeted this:
@alisoncook: That Gumbo Pizza with roux and crabmeat at Tony Mandola's really takes off with a few drops of tabasco.
Now before you guys weigh in on the prospect of tasting a pizza like this, know two things: A. Alison Cook is for real. I never feel like she's posturing or trying to enhance some sort of foodie street cred like that bitch Katharine Shilcutt does on a tweet by tweet basis, and B. The idea of a gumbo pizza reminds me a lot of pistolettes, which are awesome.
