Ryan's opinion: I love this meal. It is one of my favorites. Yummy!!

Renee's thoughts: I am only feeding 3 people, so I cut the dough in half and make it in a 2 1/2 qt. casserole pan. I make all the sauce, but only use half on the pizza. I save the rest and use it on noodles or something else. This meal is a good one to take to people that have just had a baby or something. Everyone likes pizza.
