First pizza cook
I made 4 mini pizzas (only managed to get 2 pictures) figuring if I screwed a couple up I would have a chance to recover. They all ended up pretty decent. I made 2 cheese pizzas and 2 ricotta and carmelized onions. I still haven't mastered circle shaped pizzas.

Great looking pizzas, shape not important. Looks like you got the top to cook nicely, sometimes that's hard to do.Dave

Those look very tasty. I have found the more you cook pizza, the better you get at it. You certainly look like you are off too a great start.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

Nicely done.

Circles are good, however your pizzas have the distinct advantage of being shaped in a hand-held fashion, with a beverage in the other hand.
This YouTube clip shows a good way to start with getting circles. I do this, then make it thin crust with a rolling pin.
It's important to have the dough rested for a while to prevent the base from contracting after shaping. I normally make dough in the morning then put it in the fridge, and take it out two hours before making the pizza.
If you have access to some fire bricks (house bricks won't suffice) you could try raising the pizza stone into the dome to get that pizzeria look:

I kind of play calzones by eye. Pretty much same times as pizza, but maybe a wee bit longer due to extra thickness. I try to make the crust as thin as I dare make it, put whatever ingredients you want inside, fold it over, press edges to seal, and most important brush with egg wash on top. Toss in Egg and as soon as the crust turns golden brown they are ready to eat. Visual instead of time tell me when they are done most times. But same as everything else you need to get the knack of temps and time. They are great.
