If you find yourself out of luck — or you're planning a party — here are five secrets from Verità co-owner Leslie Wells for making the best-tasting pizza at home:

- Source the freshest, highest-quality ingredients for topping.

- Get your oven as hot as possible, and finish with the broiler to cook the top.
- Keep it simple; don't over-top the pizza. The key is to have flavors that complement, rather than overwhelm, each other.
