home pizza layer order?

So lately ive been doing a decent amount of homemade pizza cooks. Ive been cooking on the performer and in the oven.

My question is, what layer order do you guys usually use? My layer order is- Dough, sauce, toppings, cheese. Does anybody do toppings on top of cheese and how do you like it?

Dough, Cheese, Sauce, Cheese, Cheese, Cheese, Toppings, Cheese, Cheese. The toppings are in there, but they're hidden. Every once in awhile, there will be a pepperoni slice sticking out.

When I made pizza directly on the grill I went dough cheese toppings sauce. Now that I use a pizza stone I go dough sauce sheese toppings.

It depends on how you like your crust. I find I get a crispier crust if I put cheese fist then toppings and sauce. If you use fresh motz cheese make sure you press it first to get the moisture out.

I vote for dough, sauce, cheese, toppings. The dough generally get crispy and i like my topping hot, like curled up pepperoni and sausage with a hint of browning.

+1. I tried it cheese-first and didn't like it as much. But the rest of the comments in this post also really have me thinking about getting a pizza stone too.

It's also got me thinking about building a wood-fired oven too, but that's a whole other story. I need to find a barrel good enough to finish the UDS first! So far I've gone through 6 that weren't good enough (too thin) - 3 of them are now burn barrels in my back yard.

Canada-
I'm looking at building one too. But I'm looking all steel. So it'll loose heat quicker, but for me for home use, after a few pies who cares. As long as it gets hot and reflects it should work. Or at least that's what I'm thinking.

i think i might give rogers idea a go as i also like the idea of the toppings nice and brown.

Another vote for dough>sauce>cheese>toppings.

Where in the world do the rest of you eat pizza?!
