oldwomanc6 38 #77 June 8, 2011 That does look good! I live so rurally, that NO ONE delivers pizza here I learned a long time ago to make my own dough and go from there. I think that anchovies are vitally important, but if you don't like them ( or think you can't ;-) then Kalamata olives are a very good addition if you want a nice salty note. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpsalot-2 2 #78 June 8, 2011 An old Italian guy told me the best way to use anchovies is to mince them and use them in the sauce.Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #79 June 8, 2011 Yes It's amazing how many places that anchovies show up that people would never guess. They add that undefined savory yumminess that many people love. The minute you tell them there are anchovies involved, all of a sudden, they start choking, spitting, and gagging. It doesn't negate the fact they thought it tasted great before they knew "bait" was involved. Go Figure! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #80 June 10, 2011 I didn't think I would like Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut on top of a pizza until I tried it. Turns out I LOVE Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut on a pizza, so yea, I'd give green beans a shot!skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterblaster72 0 #83 June 11, 2011 Here is my pizza "hell no" list: Pineapple Ricotta cheese cheddar cheese anything barbequed chicken bacon ham steak pasta alfredo sauce (or any sauce with heavy cream) greasy, fake "mozzarella" cheese (an ingredient of 95% of American pizzas) onions cherry tomatoes I never heard of green beans (or any kind of beans) on a pizza until I opened this thread -- I'd add that to the list as well.

Aside from my mother's homemade pizza: Pizza with bresaola (air-dried beef, similar to prosciutto), arugola, shaved parmesan and truffle oil. This is hard to find in the States though. Out of this world, and no tomato sauce or mozzarella needed Pizza with zucchini flowers, again, very difficult to find in the States. Pizza by the slice, Roman style, where you choose your pizza and exactly how much of it you want...then you're charged by the weight. Lombardi's Pizza in NYC I could keep going...if I had my way I would live on pizza. It's my favorite food and I could never get bored of it -- so long as it's done right.

vskydiver 0 #88 June 12, 2011 Just as a follow up to this thread.... The pizza I made that Mr. Mitchell didn't like was gone by morning. My 19 year old son, who is VERY picky about his food, ate both large pizzas. He said it was the best! So it looks like I'm just cooking for the wrong people. Chicken breast, grilled onions, fresh green beans look good on your plate. Slap them on pizza dough with some BBQ sauce topped with cheese is even better. Of course cheese makes everything better. But anyway, JohnMitchell is fixin' his own food now. No more complaining to the cook! It's all good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
