What is it about pizza that makes it so darn irresistible. The cheese, the crust, the shape, the endless possibilities for toppings, sauces and stuffed crusts? I don’t see how one could ever get bored with pizza. It’s a blank canvas for creativity. I know we all have our favorites, my hands down favorite is pizza margherita.

It’s one of the few tomato based sauces that I gravitate to. Typically I like my pizza white. A little drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and then the toppings. Despite being a carnivore through and through, when it comes to pizza I usually go veg. Go figure. Well unless there’s bacon around and that’s just going to happen. Bacon doesn’t count right? Right.

This spinach and ricotta Friday night delight is high up on my list. It starts with a little flavoring of the crust, parmigiano and garlic powder and then it’s topped with good for you ingredients: thinly sliced red onions, I have an OXO hand held mandolin that I seriously love for small jobs like this, fresh spinach, grated mozzarella and little pillows of ricotta cheese.

A final sprinkle of  homemade chili pepper flakes and then into the oven it goes. Just a few minutes later the pizza comes out golden, bubbly and ready for my tummy.

Who wants a slice? Or two? Or maybe it’s just me that likes to stuff my face with pizza.
