Where there’s gooey, there’s greatness

Whatever happened to good old pan pizza with just pepperoni and mushroom for toppings?  Now every time I order my pizza, they always ask me what I want to put on it.  That gives me headache.  I would want to say, all the works, but then what’s really in with “all the works”.  

When I get a pizza, be it at Domino’s or those fancy Italian restaurants, it takes me awhile to come up with what I want.  My typical order’s usually with cheese and some meat.  Sometimes I go vegetarian and have those red bell peppers and mushrooms on top.  I’m not really extravagant with my pizzas I usually just like them plain and simple.

My sister was visiting me and she brought this store-bought pizza dough.  She said since I love pizza so much I should start making my own.  I accepted the challenged and hurriedly went to the store to get me some of my favorite cheeses.

I didn’t have time to make my own marinara sauce so I decided to get a canned one.  The store doesn’t carry that much cheese so I only picked what I think makes the best combination.  I got parmesan, gorgonzola, cheddar and Monterey jack.  The two are sharp in taste, but the combination of white, yellow and blue on my pizza is hard to resist.

Although a four cheese pizza doesn’t include red sauce on it, I still put some in mine.  Just a super thin layer coz I don’t like my pizza to dry out.  I thought it would be a disaster, because there’s just too much cheese in it.  But it turned out pretty well.  I like the almost burnt taste of the gorgonzola.  I like that it was really gooey, and it wasn’t salty at all.  It was a good thing that I put marina sauce on it.  The pizza dough was moist and it was crispy on the side.
