As for the cost/benefit, my situation is probably unique. 1) I have six children, ranging from 12-5. In a couple of years, we're talking a lot of teenagers. I want our house to be a place their friends want to come, and that's a great way to entertain them. Lay out the dough and ingredients, everyone builds their own. 2) I work with college students. We have cookouts for student groups often, and I'd like to have more. Hamburgers and hot dogs get a little boring after a while, make your own pizzas sounds a lot more fun.
I like your thought process here. You don't do just pizza night at your place, you can do stromboli night, calzone night, pepperoni rolls night, etc. (I actually think instead of doing 'traditional' pizza birthday parties for little kids where you buy a bunch of Dominoes or Papa John's, parents should instead give them each their own ball of dough, let them create their own personal crust, and choose toppings. Toss it in the oven, bake, and eat. Cheaper and more memorable for the attendees. Give out chef hats for party favors.) I digress....
