I realized that I need to buy a Pizza stone or pan or what-ever you call it in order to make this goodness...
I thought I had one, but I guess I was wrong.
My mom told me a "stone" is not expensive and you can leave it in the oven even when you don't use it because it radiates heat better..
I think I'll go this week and get one, and then .... make some pizzas and breads!!!

stones: they do, but I noticed pretty much all the ones I see around for sale these days are not that great of quality, I've heard plenty of stories of them cracking after a few uses. If you use a stone though, be sure to let it preheat for quite a long while in the oven (~1 hr) or you're not really using it effectively. Also you will need some method of transferring the dough to the hot stone (e.g., a peel) and for some crazy reason I can't find peels in ANY stores nowadays, how are these people using the stones they buy?! I HAVE NO IDEA.
But the pizza screen I got is perfect, it works ALMOST as well as a stone. I just had to track down a restaurant supply store in order to find it. I just realize now that I have to season it before my next use or the dough will keep sticking.
In a pinch you can just use a perforated pizza pan or solid pizza pan but they are not worth using more than you have to for a number of reasons

Oh yeah! Alton Brown said something about the pizza stone on Good Eats! Evens out the heat! I need one for this shitty oven.

hmmm... I didn't think about the peel... that's a good point.
I wonder if a place like William Sonoma may have it? They seem to have any kitchen utencil known to man in stock... (of course each one also cost 6 times more but...)
I don't even know what a pizza peel looks like....
..and where do I buy a screen, and what is it exactly?
I have to do more research about this... But I am definitely getting a stone either today or next weekend!

I made an excellent bacon/garlic pizza the other day, but was so hungry I ate it before taking pics. LOL
Seriously though, best pizza of all time, the bacon/garlic combo is.

just a big spatula of sorts

I see what you mean by costing a lot more
but it looks like it is designed to hold up well by reading the description.A pizza screen is just a big round screen
Which I could only find at a restaurant supply store <3
You could also use something like a cookie sheet as a peel, just make the pizza on there, but be sure to flour/cornmeal underneath of it so the pizza will slide off.

Derick, the link didn't work: was that a link to a peel?
I didn't go this weekend... worked in the yard all day yesterday...
but maybe next week- I need to make this goodness!!
But tell me something about the screen.... I thought the pizza needs to sit on a really hot surface (like a stone...? or an oven safe pan?) So how does the screen work? I'll look into screens as well when Ill go there this week...
So much to think about!!
It was awesome after I took the mushrooms off my half 
The cheese was all drippy like on a cheap pizza from Six Flags or something, but good. A classy and tasty version of a gross pizza, if that makes any sense
