Daily Delish

I’ve always been a “cheese please” kinda gal. When it comes to my love for ZA, I can be pretty particular, and I don’t need toppings messing up the cheesy goodness.

But always looking to outdo the Mister (just kidding, honey), I one-upped him on his flatout pizzas. Sure, there are times when simplicity is called for, but in an effort to foster my ”experimenting in the kitchen” mindset, I wanted to try something new — and I figured I’d branch out and take the pro-topping approach. And it was easy, because when said toppings are artichoke and sun-dried tomatoes (an obsession of mine) — you really can’t go wrong. I still followed the Mister’s recipe, I just added jarred artichokes hearts and sun-dried tomatoes (see? one-up!).

Ah-mazing.

The artichoke and sun-dried tomato added bursts of flavor in every bite. I cannot believe it took me this look to incorporate two of my favorite ingredients (I use the varieties that are jarred in extra-virgin olive oil – they are infused with incredible flavor and stay extra juicy!)

Oh,and did I mention the layer of chicken sausage under the cheese? Drooling can now commence.

How do you spruce up a simple pizza? What are your favorite toppings?

    I’m waiting for a friend to eat lunch and you’re making this waiting VERY uncomfortable! Stomach growling and drooling is NOT attractive in public. ;)

    YuM! That looks so yummy.

    My favorite pizza topping is actually pineapple. I could have a pizza with just cheese and pineapple and be one satisfied gal :D

    My favorite pizza toppings are black olives and banana peppers. I’ve never had artichokes on a pizza, but it looks delish.

    Ohhh your pizza looks good. I don’t really eat pizza so much anymore since developing a mild lactose irritation, but I always like a good mushroom-and-artichoke topping to the pizza. And can’t forget chili flakes!

    That pizza looks great. Generally, I’m a cheese pizza girl. I don’t like the usual sausage/ pepperoni at all. However, recently I’ve been VERY into BBQ chicken and BBQ Hawaiian pizzas. I use a sweet BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce and then either chicken and red onion or canadian bacon, pineapple and red onion. I also like to mix up the cheeses I use – mozzarella, smoked couda, extra sharp cheddar, colby-jack…

    I also recently had grilled marinated tofu on a pizza and it was pretty yummy

    ….mmmmm…now I’m dreaming of pizza….

    I love using Flat Outs for pizza–they work perfectly! To date my favorite topping would have to be cubed butternut squash, red onion, fresh basil, roasted red pepper and feta cheese :-)
