Default A computer guy bakes pizza

In my opinion, Carey Holzman know a lot more about making a computer
than making pizza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_riLfxPC43g.

Using a tortilla for a pizza crust, while an interesting shortcut, and
he can like what he likes, I don't think that a tortilla and pizza crust
taste the "same."

Using a knife on a plate rather than a cutting board just made me
cringe. Even though if you look closely, it looks like he used a steak
knife to cut up the green peppers, and I suppose a steak knife is
designed to be used on a plate, it still made me cringe. Also, his not
haviing a cutting board makes his claim of being a "good cook" a bit
suspect.

As for his selection of toppings, they are very different from what I
would choose. Mushrooms, in my opinion, are just OK on pizza and are
not what I would choose. As for the green peppers, I don't like green
peppers on anything.

I've had store bought pizza sauce, and I personally don't think it is in
any way "sweet."

As for the pizza stone, it is my understanding that they have to preheat
for 45 minutes to an hour to really do much good. According to "The New
Basics Cookbook" by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins a regular baking tray
works just fine for pizza, and you don't get "a bread thing with sauce
and cheese on it" or whatever it was that Carey said in the video.
