Any sauce or dough recipes? Best widely available store bought sauce, Classico, Rao’s, other? Toppings are a given. Best cheeses? Olive oil on the dough before sauce? Seasonings?
Got a propane pizza oven for Xmas. Ready to make some good pies.

I think the key is the dough with the sauce coming in second. Maybe I’m wrong though.

I use a simple recipe out of Betty Crocker for the dough...when I make it from scratch.
Sometimes I use the Jiffy mix and add some flour because I am impatient.
I have messed around with sauce......and some of the best I have used is Chef John's pizza sauce......but the family likes the jarred Ragu pizza sauce better!
The part skim low moisture mozzarella stuff is basically flavorless. I will add some Monterrey jack or colby jack to that. Or some sharp cheddar.
I like to put down some garlic bread sprinkle before the sauce.
I am MAGA.

My wife makes great homemade pizza.
She sometimes uses a recipe similar to wabigoon's. It may be the same recipe. I have never paid attention to her ingredient measurements. Sometimes she just uses chef boyardee pizza dough.
She places parchment paper on the pizza pans for easier clean up.
She does spread the dough out onto 2 or 3 pizza pans and lightly bake it before adding any sauce or toppings. She says that it keeps the crust from becoming soggy.
She likes "the Hill" sauce the best. But, she has used Ragu and many of the others. She often doctors them up with more oregano and garlic salt.
She also uses a little bit of provelle cheese and buffalo mozzarella and shredded mozzarella.
I think that is all of her pizza tricks. Everyone likes it.

A friend of mine started this company last year and I urge you to give his crust mixes and sauce a try. https://urbanslicerpizza.com/

She does spread the dough out onto 2 or 3 pizza pans and lightly bake it before adding any sauce or toppings. She says that it keeps the crust from becoming soggy. If she will preheat a stone to 500ish deg and cook the pizza on the stone, the moisture will evaporate out of the dough and become crisp. Also make sure all the ingredients are as dry as possible. Wet ingredients are a nemisis to crisp dough. 500deg @ 6 min

good flour and fresh yeast are key. make sure the yeast is not out of date 5 cups bread flour 1 1/2 cups warm water 1 TB sugar 1 tsp salt 1 TB olive oil 1 pk fleischmans yeast mix water, yeast and oil and let it sit until it gets foamy, mix dry ingredients real good and then add water and mix thoroughly and form into a ball. put a damp, warm rag over the bowl. heat oven for 1 minute at 400 degrees and then turn it off and put dough bowl in oven for a few hours to rise. when risen, fold dough into a ball and cut in half and form two balls and let it rise again. this makes pretty good dough but its just about impossible to make a good pizza in a regular oven. i use one of these on my weber kettle: https://www.kettlepizza.com/kettle-ovens/for sauce i use this because it is the best i have found https://www.classico.com/product/00041129396407/traditional-pizza-sauce

Agree on whole milk. As for sauce, I think crushed tomatoes with something like a little Goya adobo added is all you want.
