to begin (to give context to my review) I have my own restaraunt size Pizza oven and have been cooking pizzas for years. I am very good at making pizza and am regurlary completemented on the quality of what I make. This recipe is a favourite for a lot of my freinds and family. If you are making this recipe use your discresion on the Hoisin sauce in the base, apply it as a bbq base (sparingly), I thought this to be obvious but based on other reviews it is clearly not. Please DO NOT dismiss this recipe based on other reviews. I can guarantee if you do this right and enjoy hoisin then you will love it. My oven in action :)

My partner and I could not eat it - and I had so been looking forward to this recipe, it sounded delicious. The hoisin sauce totally overpowered all other flavours. I fear it may have put me off using hoisin sauce for anything, ever again! The pizza ended up in the bin. Definitely do cut down on the hoisin, drastically!

The amount of hoisin sauce stated in this recipe was a little too much for us as it turned out unexpectedly too sweet. Will definitely reduce the hoisin sauce if I make this again.
