Classic Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza

I love to make homemade pizza for my family.  It took me a lot of trials & errors to get the curt the way I wanted and to cook it so it looked and tasted like one from the pizzeria.   To me buying high quality pepperoni, mozzarella cheese & parmesan cheese makes this pizza outstanding.   You need to invest in a pizza stone or use glazed quarry tiles to make a good crusty pizza.
