I don't trust timers or my nose. With most things I've gotta cook by checking internal temps
I bake three batches of pizza a week measuring with my eyeballs and heart though cause it's all my kid eats, and he praises me up and down about how superior it is to Little Caesars, so I've got that going for me.
Oh yes, I do a temp check. But timers meh. Kids are the best or the worst critics. I'm so glad that you can beat out Little Caesars! Mine loves my cooking, he's a pretty adventurous eater though.
It's not a high bar, but by Jove I've cleared it
