One thing I love about keeping this web site, is digging thru all my old recipes and trying things that I’ve wanted to make for years. Like this incredible pizza! I’ve seriously had this recipe for as long as I can remember, but for whatever reason, never made it. Until today. And I’ll be honest—the whole time I was making this I kept thinking I should add something more to the pizza…like a sauce, or artichokes, or tomatoes. But I held off and made the recipe as is. And guess what? It’s fantastic!!! Really, one of the tastiest pizzas I’ve ever had. And fancy enough to serve to guests. (Oh, and since this recipe is so old, I have no idea what magazine I pulled it from—sorry I can’t give proper credit!)
