favorite pizza probably anywhere is one my dad used to make, but my sister-in-law took over...

she buys the dough made fresh from a local pizza place (they usually sell for like $ 3 a piece) but my dad would make it himself...

main ingredient - she caramelizes a ton of onions - cooks them slow with a little brown sugar and butter....just the smell of this alone is heavenly....

toppings (besides the onions) are:

- olive oil spread on the dough - no tomato sauce on this...

- mozzarella mixed with a little parm

- a liberal amount of arugula

- pine nuts

She does a bunch of variations - adds prosciutto, does one with the caram. onions, Gorgonzola and pear, etc....maybe one with the onions, arugala, a little goat cheese or bri, and drizzle some balsamic reduction would work.....the simplicity of the one above is perfection though....

comes out looking kinda like this (without the maple drizzle):

Really depends on my mood.

Out to my favorite local pizza joint: chicken bacon ranch (ranch sauce, grilled chicken, yellow onions, bacon, mozzarella and cheddar blend)...OR BBQ chicken (BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, red onion, green onion and mozz. n cheddar blend)..

Homemade: red sauce, black olives (green are fine if it's all I have), onion (anything but red, I never buy those), bell pepper and if I have em some mushrooms (usually just button mushrooms) and salami/pepperoni...OR caramelized onions and sausage (whatever sausage I have on hand seasoned with a lot of cayenne, caramelized onions, a little BBQ sauce, colby-jack cheese.

Home made with a bit of honey in the dough, tomatosauce with ++ garlic in it, and as toppings: gorgonzola, mushroom, tuna, black olives, jalapeño peppers and parmazan on top.

Or one with:

Mascarpone, mushrooms, dried tomatoes and rucola

Marscarpone on pizza, great idea 🙂

It's delicious! Some truffle(sauce) is also nice on it too 🤤

Ummm. Truffle oil is so good on pizza especially with a variety of mushrooms.

I haven't had it on pizza but I think truffles and truffle oil are among my favorite things...only got into it recently because this Japanese spot I go to uses the oil on their edamame and a bunch of other dishes...we just go there and order everything that's truffle-flavored lol....its odd though bc the smell of it sorta makes me want to gag...

Truffle oil is also good on french fries with fresh garlic.

The Green Mountain Special - Baby spinach, Red onion, Bacon, McIntosh apple, Fresh garlic, Vermont cheddar, and drizzled with Deep Mountain maple syrup. All ingredients are locally sourced. The best pizza place in the state is the only restaurant in a very small town out on a rural dirt road. One of those places where just when you think you're lost, you've found it.

That looks really good too.

I think I'm going to try making the Marscarpone, egg, mushroom pizza.

If it has a egg on it, I'm eating it.
