I've worked in a lot of kitchens . Some we made homemade dough, some store bought , now the way Ive always done this pizza was : dough, mix shredded cheddar and mozz, bacon, more cheese .... Oven. Straight outta that oven I'd let 'er rest a moment, shredded lettuce, diced tomato , and mayo on top out of a sauce bottle with a super precise tip, the drizzle I always thought was so appealing .. absolutely phenomenal. .. I've yet to try using the mayo as an actual base sauce, I will have to give it a whirl one of these days.... Or even a garlic aoli type thing would be delicious. 👍

You asked about the cheese preference during the video. We rarely use bagged shredded cheese. The anti-caking agent or cellulose that’s added is something we want to avoid. Cellulose is actually made from wood.
