Looks like a thoroughly pleasant family evening. Wise move getting the kids to top it first. Try it on your own with a screaming hot pan, it really makes a difference - the high heat creates an almost instant crusty layer on the dough which prevents the air from escaping giving you bubbles as it cooks and expands.

^Me too. I had to get the kids to top theirs before putting them in the pan for safety's sake and that does impede the heat penetration you need to get the base really nicely cooked, but the ones we topped on the heat were amazing. Best not to rush either, they can have a good 2 or 3 minutes on the stove before going under the grill.
