We have a local restaurant that offers Brick Oven Pizza's. We had the opportunity to sample some of them, not too long ago - and I was intrigued with the different toppings and flavors they put together. And so I have begun to experiment.
With my crazy, busy life - I don't have time (very often) to make my own dough anymore. I have found a ready made crust in our diary section at my favorite grocery store Wegmans. All I do is throw the toppings on and bake. It is thick - but comes out nice and crunchy. No - it isn't the best - but it does in a pinch and my family likes it.
So here is my 'latest' favorite food!
On a prepared pizza crust spread:
1-2 TBS of pesto.
Sprinkle with shredded mozzeralla cheese
Sprinkle with parmesean cheese
In a separate pan brown and cook thru 1 boneless skinless chicken breast in a little bit of olive oil and pesto. salt, pepper and garlic powder. Shred it as it cooks.
Spread cooked - shredded chicken breast meat over cheese.
Sprinkle some sundried tomatoes and artichokes (both chopped) over the top.
Bake at 350 for 20 mins.
I of course made a pepperoni and cheese for the boys too.
Do you have favorite pizza toppings?
I'd love to hear about them!

My, but that looks so delicious Valerie! I am trying to wean off foods like this as I could literally eat pizza every day! I love the Brick Oven crust.. mmmmmm. My, I need to run now and get on that elliptical!!
Yum---that looks delicious. We don't make our own pizza and rarely eat it anymore. When we do go somewhere to have pizza, it is a real treat...
We love the stuff-crust pizzas --and of course, I love a thick crust rather than a thin one. We like the traditional meat-lovers pizza. But one of my all-time fav's is the green-pepper and onion and hamburger (or sausage) pizza.... YUM...

These look delicious! And who doesn't like pizza? We just discovered a new pizza place nearby, Brixx, it is good and they make their own mozarella. My favorite topping would be spinach, or maybe ham. I love these ready made rfrigerated crusts!!
That looks very yummy. Pizza is one of my favorite foods. It's not too hard to make your own dough with the rapid-rise yeast and you can make it as thin or thick as you want. We have a local restaurant that has a brick oven--it really does make the crust taste good.
Anything with artichoke is a winner with me.
Ummm, that looks marvelous! I am a pizza lover and adore the dough; probably too much-sometimes I feel like I look like dough :)
