Not quite right pizza

It had been a long, hot day but despite all that the pizza started out well. A good crust mixture, fresh herbs, the traditional toppings including pepperoni and some pepper and onion. It looked really good before we put it in the oven.

Twenty-minutes later the pizza was golden and melty and smelled so yummy. I was really looking forward to this pizza.

That is when disaster struck.

The pizza would not come off the pan for anything. We sliced it, got a spatula and it still wouldn't come off the pizza pan. I didn't know what happened. Was there something wrong with the crust? Did I press it down too much while shaping it?

Then it hit me. I had moved the racks in the oven the other day and forgot to put them back. We had baked the pizza on the lowest rack and completely shellacked the crust onto the pan. Damnit!!

It had been a long, hot day and I was really looking forward to this pizza.

Although, pizza toppings on pita crackers is pretty good too. ;)
