My husband has been practicing making a decent pizza. He bought a pizza stone on Amazon and made pizza several times. I am not a pizza snob, so any pizza is delicious to me.But my husband was not happy with his pizza. So, recently he bought a pizza steel on Amazon. He tried it a couple of times. He seemed more satisfied with his pizza because it wasn't soggy.When I asked him if he was happy with his last pizza, he said, "Well, I can still do better." I asked myself, when will he ever settle? Well, he wants to be able to make an authentic Italian pizza.

I’ve made a few pizzas but I could definitely do with a pizza stone. I put mine on a baking tray and it doesn’t cook underneath properly. A pre-heated stone is meant to be the answer. That’s what I thought until I read your discussion. Now I’ll have to investigate the steel. Hmmmm

@Ineeddentures We use an electric oven for our pizza since we don't have a wood-fired one like Anna @LadyDuck (503254) mentioned.
He puts the crust, sauce, and toppings into the electric oven all at the same time. That might be why his pizza crust turns out soggy..
That would be so funny. He’ll keep trying until he runs out of resources. In the end, who cares about authentic Italian pizza? I’m more than okay with eating pizza from an electric oven

@Ayu2026 Do it yourself. 
I do it.
But honestly making pizza, baking and making dessert does have a lot of preparations which I think made me just do it mostly on first time. The next, I think twice. Hehehe or I just leave my brother do it. Like it's your turn.
Goodluck! with your husband.

Oh, there's no question that he'll keep trying. I think he needs to go all the way to Italy just to learn how to make authentic Italian pizza. 
What do you mean by DIY? Did you make the crust yourself, or did you use a pre-made crust from the store?

@thelme55 It's my husband's job to top it. He usually uses his homemade pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella. I think he also adds basil leaves. I need to check, but I can definitely taste it!
Sometimes he also adds sliced mushrooms, spinach, and chopped broccoli. I love those toppings on my pizza.
What about yours?

I did once and never repeated it. The dough did not rise, and we were like eating a stone pizza. Maybe I also did not knead the dough enough.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear your first try didn't work out.
It could be due to the room temperature during fermentation, inactive yeast, or maybe you just forgot to add it! That actually happened to me once, LOL.
Anyway, I was just teasing.
Things like that happen! Since it was your first time making pizza, making a mistake is totally normal. I hope you give it another chance. And now that you know what to watch out for, you'll do great.
The first try is always a learning experience!
