Our absolute favorite place to buy premade pizza dough is at our local Whole Foods. They often have it packaged in the refrigerated section with the grab-and-go food options. If you’re unable to find it there, go to the pizza counter. Ask the pizza chef. He should be able to get you a dough ball from the back.
