I'm not going to post a recipe for pizza, there are millions out there, each of them have their merits...
But a few words on pizza, if I may.
All food flavour, texture, etc are subjective to the eater, no question. But most foods generally need a certain calibre and method of preparation if you will in order for anyone to consider them decent. Pizza is one of those foods where I've seen what I consider total crap with prep and ingredients be completely revered and loved by other eaters, and vice versa as well "why would you want a thin crust in a super hot oven?" my answer is BECAUSE IT'S PERFECT, DUH!

Pizza 1 - Bruschetta style! |
On the crust alone people have their opinions! How sweet should it be, how doughy? how crunchy? Thin or bready edges? Dense or light? Whole wheat? Maybe naan bread even? or pita?
Oh, and the sauce? Lots of it, little, sweet, tomatoey, no sauce? white sauce? pesto? cheese sauce? Dip it in sauce?
The toppings are endless. Traditional? Meat lovers? Veggie? just cheese? No cheese? Broccoli (by god!) what kind of cheese? Do you chop or slice the veg? under or over the cheese (I'll save it for you, OVER THE CHEESE PEOPLE!).
The oven? BBQ? Pizza stone?
