    captjo,[p]This is the pizza of all time. Crawfish Pesto Pizza.
    Crawfish is a southern thing. Mostly the Gulf Coast thang but them little critters on a pizza with pesto WOW![p]Pesto Sauce: Mix it all up, best if it sits and blends for at least 4 hours if not overnight.
    Olive oil
    Pine Nuts
    Parsely
    Basil
    Oregano
    Grated Parmesian
    put on the pesto on the dough
    Thinly sliced tomatos next
    Artichoke hearts or spinich
    Crawfish
    Cover with Mozzarella[p]Egg somewhere in the 475 - 525 range and BAM![p]It'll make you cry when it's all gone[p]Chris

    captjo,
    In my opinion the true measure of a great pizza is plain cheese. The base of pizza makes the whole pie. If the crust is not cooked right or the sauce does not taste good, then no toppings that you add can help.
    Try this: have the first pizza that you server be just plain cheese. The subsequent pizza can start to add toppings from there. It is kind of like conducting a wine tasting but with pizza, each one better than the next.[p]Hope this Helps,
    RhumAndJerk[p]

    captjo,
    I like mushroom and sausage with Publix pizza dough. I place mozzarella cheese sticks around the outside of the pie and fold the dough over the sticks and then add the filling. It makes for a good outside crust. Sort of like built in bread sticks.[p]Doug

    <p />captjo,
    I like a simple pizza margharita. It is simply pizza dough (see recipe below) topped with shreaded mozarella/fresh parmesan/romano with fresh sliced tomatoes on top. In the summer, I add fresh basil but have to settle for dried basil in the winter. Give a quick spray of EVOO, sprinkle on a little garlic powder (not garlic salt) and oregano. [p]Mmmmmmm ... good stuff!

    I'll second that! The simpler, the better IMHO. Good stuff.
    Cheers,

    captjo,[p]I LOVE just plain cheese pizza on the egg...but if I have to compromise and have ingrediants, I like pepperoni, very thinly sliced onion and green pepper, and mushrooms.[p]Here's a couple of pics of ours....[p]cheese-pizza.jpg[p]pizza-with-fire.jpg[p]deluxe-pizza.jpg[p]Nothing beats pizza on the egg!

    captjo,[p]I wish I knew what my favorite pizza is. I only cooked pizza once on the egg - then 3 days later I started the Atkins diet. Now my pizza stone serves as a ceramic mass for more Atkins-friendly cooks like pork butt, chicken-on-a-throne, etc.[p]I gaze wistfully upon occasion at the pizza posts here...[p]Chuck

    captjo,
    I accidentally used powdered sugar once to do up the jiffy mix dough. I must say the pizza was pretty good, and a novelty to boot!

    chuckls,[p]You don't have to give up pizza on the Atkins diet. There are several low carb pizza crust mixes out there and the one I use is only 3 grams for a 1/8 slice of a 12" pizza. You can also make a pretty good sauce for about 2 grams per serving. While it is not as good as a regular pizza, it is much better than no pizza at all. [p]Another way is to make what I call pizza rollups. For this, I use a whole wheat low carb garlic and herb tortilla which has 3 grams and then I do the pizza on top and then roll it up. We like this one the best and do it quite often. [p]Check out some low carbs books for pizza recipes as there are many.[p]Dave

    BackYardDan,
    I mean no disrespect to QBabe, but I think (yeah there I go thinking again) Mr. Hyde is the pizza chef in the family. I remember Mr. Hyde made one heck of a pizza at the Florida Q-Fest last October.[p]By the way, haven't heard much about this years Q-Fest. Dates & times need a posting again![p]Banker John

    Banker John,[p]Yes, as I remember it, it was Mr. Hyde with the pizza. It was beautiful, but I didn't get any :-([p]Q-babe has included this in a couple of her posts, and I put it in one yesterday. [p]Hope to see you there,and no illness in your family![p]BOB[p]2nd ANNUAL FLORIDA FEST[p]March 12-13, 2004

    Old Dave,
    What do you do with the other 7/8's of the pizza? I have had great success with Atkins, but I am helpless when faced with all that gorgeousness in front of me. It's easier for me to avoid it altogether.

    Judy Mayberry,[p]I will usually eat 2-3 pieces and then we freeze the rest of the pizza for a later date. It's handy this way as well for a snack.[p]Dave
