Where to start...

The foundation to a good pizza is a good dough. Dough is different from crust. The crust is just the outer edge of the pizza that has no toppings on it. The dough is what's under the rest of the pie. It has taken me 11 years to develop a dough recipe that I am totally happy with. I have looked through many cookbooks and at online resources for ideas, taken a bit of this and a bit of that, and added my own twists and turns to create what is now my standard. So, if you want to start making pizza at home, start by playing with dough! Find some recipes, try them out, and see what you like. Homemade pizza is much different than anything you'll get at a shop or in the frozen section of your grocery store. If you have never worked with yeasted dough before, pizza is a great place to start!
