Considering that you take half of a normal meal home,
I'm tickled that you consider a 12" pizza "for one."
Of course, I don't eat much pizza (though I do enjoy it).

Yesterday I met my friend Tom at the airport and took him
to Santarpio's, which is one of these Iconic places: along
with the original Regina's on Thacher St., it's said to have
the best pizza in Boston. He ordered a pepperoni pie ($11.50,
one size only, a 13 to 14" one). I ordered a sausage and
lamb tip combo: half a pound of Italian (pork) sausage and
half a pound of lamb, medium rare, plus two vinegar peppers
and two slices of Italian bread, $9. The waiter tried to
sell me on a single of sausage and a single of lamb tips
($4 + 5 = 9), which gives you the same sausage and the
same lamb but double bread and double vinegar peppers. But
Tom doesn't eat peppers, and I asked the waiter if we looked
as if we needed the extra bread.

The lamb was terrific; the sausage was good if a bit salty.
I gave away some of my food in return for some pizza (I did
have my pills). This is an irregular, thin-crust pie with
just enough cheese and a little too much (rather sweet and
made with tomato chunks) sauce: it is much appreciated in
these parts. A couple slices, but then Tom pointed to the
last piece, and said, it's yours. I said, well, I've had at
least my share, and he said, oh, you had less than me. Okay,
who am I to waste food?

Wine is available (cheap stuff, Taylor California Cellars),
though I wasn't turned on by the selection, and you wouldn't
be turned on just because. 7 oz for $3.50, 10 oz for $4,
16 oz for $7, 33 oz for $11. Real swill.

That pepperoni will do it for you every time.

What do you think about a recipe that calls for as much starter
as flour? I guess if you're really impatient or something:

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.05

      Title: Sourdough Pizza Shells
 Categories: Breads
   Servings:  4

      1 c  Sourdough starter                   1 tb Shortening, melted
      1 ts Salt                                1 c  Flour

  Mix ingredients, working in the flour until you have a soft dough. Roll out
  into a flat shape.  Dash oil over a dough sheet and place dough on it. Bake
  about 5 minutes.  It doesn't take long, so watch carefully. Have pizza
  sauce and topping ready and make pizza as usual. Then bake as usual.
