A note on quantities

These are ingredient lists and build order, not precise measurements — toppings scale with pizza size and how heavy-handed you like them. As a rough starting point for a 12-inch pizza: a thin, even layer of sauce (about 1/3 cup), 6-8 oz of cheese, and 3-4 oz total of other toppings, added in the order listed so anything that needs direct heat (like raw meat) sits closer to the crust and anything delicate (fresh herbs, arugula) goes on after baking.
