My Pie Monday: Philly Diner's Super-Fresh Pizza

Slice'r Philly Diner sent in an extremely appetizing My Pie Monday submission featuring great-looking pies made with premium ingredients:
Here's my first submission to My Pie Monday!
These are the first pizzas I made using my new DIY stone! I used a double layer of unglazed ceramic tiles preheated to 550 for 45 minutes in my sorority house oven, and it's been working like a charm. I made Peter Reinhart's recipe for both doughs. The first is a margarita with strained crushed tomatoes, local fresh mozzarella, and basil from my plant! The second is a delicious version of the CPK barbeque chicken pizza, with spicy barbeque sauce from The Pig on Beale in Memphis, smoked gouda, chicken breast, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh cilantro. Super delicious, way better than the original. I got great crispiness and char after about 4 minutes in the oven, with nice airy hole structure. I'm going to be working on making my pizzas rounder next!
Nice going, PD! I love the color on the crust and the fresh take on a beloved mass-market pie. Truly a slice of heaven.

Slice Poll: Do You Stop Eating Pizza When It's Hot Outside?
L&B Spumoni Gardens, with its umbrella-laden outdoor seating and walk-up spumoni window, is probably *the* perfect summer pizzeria. Unless you forsake *all* pizza during the summer months. [Photograph: hankhayes on Flickr]
OK, in the Northern Hemisphere, at least, summer is here. It's been a scorching few days here in NYC, where Slice HQ is located. Which got me thinking this morning — do I really want to eat a slice of hot, cheesy pizza this afternoon? What about you? Do you stop eating pizza when it's hot outside?
