Yeah, I've done this, and it does exactly the opposite of what you'd think it would -- you get a softer crust directly on the rack than you do on a pizza stone or pan, but it does cook evenly, so this might be the right option. It sounds like something isn't heating quite right in the oven. If you're using a pizza stone are you giving it enough time to heat all the way up?
