Late nights always leave you itching to order in pizza from Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, or your favorite local pizza shop. But in reality, by making your own pizza, you wind up saving some money and you end up with a finished product that tastes so much better than your usual Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza (sorry, Domino’s).

1. It arrives piping hot from your oven, not freezing cold through your front door.
