Apply basic "the internet always knows best" filtering:
- Discard any without reason
- Discard any for which the reason does not apply
- Weigh pro's and cons of reasons that do apply

The admin is excellent for your basic CRUD operations on a model level and to
some
extent on multiple models.
Nested inlines (Pizza -> Topping -> Ingredient) are not supported and probably
the
thing you're gonna run into.
While this can be seen as a disadvantage, there's something to be said about
form/widget complexity: Is it really that important to have ingredients of
toppings
available when creating/editing pizza's or is it better to use two workflows?
Another thing you may run into with the admin is customized overviews, like
dashboards and reporting features. A lot can be done with list_display[1] and
customized templates, but in the end the scope of a page is usually one model.
As for customized look/feel and widgets, here's some useful links:
* Admin interfaces[2]
* Smart Selects for foreign objects[3]
* Tighter permissions[4]
* RichText Editor: CkEditor[5] / TinyMCE[6]
