I make pizza.

I haven't ventured into the world of making my own dough. I use the store bought dough globs. I use italian tomato sauce, the kind you can get at an italian market and has listed ingredients of "tomatoes, salt". Thin layer of sauce only, don't wanna do anything crazy. I use buffola mozz, but that's the last step. Typical toppings for my home-made ameritalian pizzas are:


Garlic, tomato, and Basil (la margherita - basil goes on after the cook)

Garlic, Sausage (hot or sweet italian), and roasted red peppers

Buffalo chicken and banana peppers (grilled chicken marinated in red hot for the health nut in me, but fried chicken tossed in your choice of sauces works just as well - and does tastes better. Drizzle some blue cheese dressing and hotsauce over the pizza once it's out of the oven)

Prosciutto, Parmesan, and Balsamic vinegar ("Parma" - omit the mozzerela or not to taste, cover the pizza in strips of prosciutto, then cover with strips of hand cut parmesan - grated cheese is garbage. Get the syrupy balsamic vinegar, the kind that beads, and drizzle on after the pizza comes out.)

Pineapple & Prosciutto & black olives (Hawaiian. I use prosciutto here generally because it avoids having to buy another kind of pork, and the parma usually has leftovers. Bacon, canadian bacon, and ham all work - but prosciutto tastes better in my opinion.)
