+1 on the sourdough starter!
Another tip that I've found works as well for pizza as it does for french bread, is to preheat a skillet with the oven. Pull the skillet out when you put the pizza in the oven, pour 3/4c water in the skillet and quickly put it on the rack UNDER the pizza. This blast of moisture will give the crust a beautiful crisp.
