Looks fine to me. Sometimes I can t be bothered to start dough right from scratch. bought dough either fresh or frozen isn't a crime. Does homemade taste better> It can once the trial and error is done to find your likes and preferences.

Its really simple to make your own, and works well if you make it in advance and let it ferment in the fridge for a day.

We have always used carefully selected store-bought crusts when cooking in volume (family reunions, neighborhood, etc) just to avoid the endless rolling-out. For smaller cooks I have always bought dough balls from the local pizza place and roll them out myself, but I recently found that for an extra dollar that same pizza place will roll them out for me, put them on parchment or a cooking shell, and stack them in a pizza box. So for $2, I can get a 14 inch fresh unbaked pizza crust that's already risen and been "aged/fermented", on parchment, ready to top and cook.
The cooking shells that they use for their take n' bake pizza are mildly annoying in that they change the cooking paradigm. I'd rather they used parchment. If they put it on a shell for me instead, I get around it by going ahead and topping it and start the cook until the pizza is firm enough to slide off the shell and onto the corn-mealed stone.
I usually keep a few frozen dough balls, and a few rolled-out uncooked crusts if I have room, in the freezer all the times.
There are lots of ways to cook pizza. The fact that there are so many certainly indicates that there is no one "right way" to do it.
