Build this pizza in 3D

Before you heat the oven, try it in Pizzaiolo: stretch the dough, spread the sauce, add the cheese and toppings, then bake it and take it out at golden. The verdict tells you if the centre went soggy, the toppings were too heavy or the rim burnt, and the order is written out for you if you would rather have a pizzeria make it.
