Mmmm...Pizza


The other night I received a text from a guy I had met (outside of work) on one occasion.  This text message came after I had gone to bed and it said "Hi.  Can I come over?"  Hmm...let me think about that, no, you can't.  What the hell?  I understand my generation has made the booty call and friend with benefits a popular concept but what happened to taking a girl out for dinner, or even a drink for that matter?  Do I have "booty call" written across my forehead and I just don't know it?  Does something about me scream out "friend with benefits?" Or is this simply the way people my age behave?  But, if this is how people my age behave than I would much rather spend my nights at home, with my dog, working on recipes for this blog.

You will need:
Your favorite pizza crust (I used Pillsbury's GF, I didn't love it)
Your favorite pizza sauce (I use tomato sauce and simmer it with minced garlic and italian seasoning)
Pepporoni
Diced ham
Cooked sausage
Cooked red peppers
Mozarella
Goat cheese
Fresh tomatoes

Prepare your crust according to package instructions.  I parbaked mine so it would be crispier.  Once parbaked I drizzled it with olive oil and added my sauce.  I did a layer of pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers and then the mozzarella.  I used about a cup of cheese but this was a standard sized pizza, if you're doing a smaller one I would recommend less, it really doesn't take much.  I sprinkled crumbled goat cheese on top and baked till things were melty and delicious looking and my crust edges looked crispy.  Once it had cooled for a few minutes I threw on some fresh, diced tomatoes.  I think the goat cheese and peppers really make this pizza delicious!  Pour some wine and enjoy!!
