The Home Made Pizza Thread

[gromitdj]

Did some Pizzas on the BBQ grill Saturday night.

Sausage, Pepperoni, Roasted Red Pepper, and some fresh Basil.

And a mixed plate with some BBQ Chicken pizza and a little salad!

Made one of my favorites. I cheated on the white sauce, creme fraische diluted with olive oil and lemon then spiced. Pretty good and took 2 minutes to prepare.

Simple pepperoni and olive pizza for the kids tonight....

I wish one of my sons liked black olives. A pizza just ain't a pizza without sliced, oil-cured kalamata olives on it from the olive deli at GE.

I wish I could remember to get black olives. Pepperoni, onion, peppers and mushrooms tonight. I have some home made sausage too. No black olives, again.

Mushroom and baby gold potatoes. Keeping it simple and experimenting with different finishing salts. Used a smoked salt. Going for a earthy "profile"(?). It complements both the toppings and the savory character of the parm in the cheese blend. I like it. Getting the amount right seems to be the key, next time I'll weigh it out and use a titration type process to figure an approximate ideal.

Made my country style pizzas again last night. Messed up & forgot to wait till I added the milk to the flour mix to add the EVOOL. Roasted garlic sauce, with yellow, orange & red bells, sweet onion & mushrooms with cheddar cheese. Boys always get cheddar. I'd rather it was provolone. Came out good just the same, but was late & no pics.

 

[hotwatermusic]

Baby kale (not bad), mushroom, cherry tomato, artichoke, olive, and goat cheese. Finished with some guava garlic sea salt my wife brought me as a souvenir from Hawaii, and a few splashes of balsamic. Sounds fancy but a few things didn't work together. Relax etc. The baby kale was the revelation, somewhere in between arugala and spinach taste wise and not as fibrous as grown up kale.

Incorrect.

 

[chisena]

Olives are great on pizza.

 

[slym2none]

If you like olives. If not, then Yuck City.

 

[unionrdr]

I like how black olives mix with the other flavors.

 

[hotwatermusic]

I think we need a poll to determine the viability of olives as a topping for pizza. We can't allow this to fester. Imagine the ramifications if we were to let people have different unvoiced opinions on an inherent forum.

 

[unionrdr]

It's ok with me if some don't like them. I happen to love black olives sliced on mine. Different strokes for different folks...

I used to have a buddy in high school who would only eat "ham, and no cheese" pizzas from Marcos.

no cheese? he was a weirdo.

 

[HoppyDaze]

It's healthy that you don't still have that friend.

Black olives work well, pineapple doesn't. Bacon doesn't find it a way on my pizza, prosciutto works.

I actually like pineapples on pizza. My go-to toppings are pineapple, ham, and bacon. The combination of sweet from the pineapple + savory from the ham and bacon is one of my favorites.

Pineapples on pizza are the bee's knees... My wife thought it was disgusting until I made her try it once. She loved it. I did a pizza I copied.modified from North Point Brewing in Traverse City. I made mine with a homemade Ghost Pepper BBQ sauce for the base, sauteed onions, smoked and shredded pork butt, and pineapples. I am definitely making that pizza againView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1459015007.437049.jpg

She definitely won that round.

Coming from NY to live in Nebraska for a few years of college, imagine my shock (actually horror) to see aweful pizza toppings like "hamburger kraut" and "pineapple ham" on the menu... Geez people, don't you know it's Italian food?

 

[icebob]

And cut into squares! I mean WTF! And what I had tasted worse than Dominoes, I feel for you flyovers.

Olives are OK in my book depending on the pairing

 

[SupervisingChildren]

@icebob Your pizza looks delicious!

I miss ny city style pizza. I need a trip to my aunt's house in Queens and stop by her local place. Buffalo pizza cannot compare...

Yeah, cut into squares and shoved into a waxed paper pastry bag like you could get a Danish ring in. WTF indeed!

 

[schematix]

Pepperoni and delicious olives.

Burnt-edged grease chalices... that is how pepperoni is supposed to look!
