If I make homemade I cheat just a little bit and buy pre-mixed fresh dough from our local Italian specialty grocery store. It's only 99 cents for a bag of it, and one bag is enough to make like two large pizzas. I've been dragging my feet about getting a mixer and just making it myself when this is so readily available and essentially the same product I would end up with anyhow. Plus, I usually keep the temperature pretty cold at my place which makes it hard for me to do the rises myself.
I prefer a medium thickness on my pizza crust, but like it very crusty on the outside and chewy and airy on the inside. I don't want to feel like I just ate a loaf of bread from eating one slice of pizza, so I don't care for the super thick and heavy pizza crusts, but at the same time, it's got to hold it's shape somewhat. I don't want burning hot sauce and cheese dripping all down my arm and hands while I'm trying to hold it a floppy crust together.
