 I've never had a pizza stone or NY style pizza. I feel like I might be missing out.

I have a pizza stone. I like it! Tell you the truth... I'm not a big fan of the "franchise" order out pizza. I want it home made.

 Actually Pizza stones are great for baking any type of bread product.  Thing is, pizza is best cooked on an oven rack with no cookie sheet or such under it.  That is because the heat will cook the underneath better than if the bread/pizza is on a pan.  The pizza stones heat up quickly and do the same thing and then you don't have to worry about a dripping mess in the oven.  Have you ever baked a pizza on the rack and then tried to get it off the rack when cheese has dripped off and glued it to the rack?  The stone solves that.  They are cheap.  I just bought one at Macy's for $15 and it doesn't need to be seasoned.

Put me on the bus with the other "don't like pizza" people. I am really not a fan. I did eat pizza when we were in Rome, and it was delish - but it was nothing like the pizza you get in the US. Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Papa John's...all abominations.

 What is that now - four of us?  I'll eat pizza if there's nothing else to eat, but I would never in a million years order one for myself.

Actually, if I were to eat pizza, that would be it!  My first husband used to fix a white spinich pizza that was out of this world.  I really don't care for the red pizza sauce.

Boboli (red) sauce + a whole wheat thin crust = heaven.

Yes.  It blows a pizza out of the water.  Invest!

I cook. We all know that. A light sprinkle of corn meal on it.

 I agree.  It's so much better the authentic way.

I do the cornmeal bit, too. Gotta heat the stone up before putting the pizza on it, too.

I may have just drooled on my keyboard.

Do you make stuffed shells? Or lasagna roll-ups?

Made stuffed shells for the superbowl. In the cheese mix is tiny cuttings of prosciutto. They bathe in a red sauce then are topped with a béchamel sauce and mozzarella. Melty yummy. The lasagna roll up isn't as dreamy.

I saw a similar recipe on Pinterest. It looked fairly easy!

Does it matter if the pizza stone has handles or not?

You can buy lifting racks for your pizza stones. I just use heavy duty oven gloves and I have two stones. One round and one oblong. I absolutely love the stones. I also use cornmeal for a coating.

 I recently signed up for Ebates & was thinking of getting one from Kohls.
