RECIPE BACKSTORY
I had a pizza like this for lunch in a restaurant one day, and it was so delicious I decided I had to try to copy it. I cobbled together a base recipe from about half-a-dozen sources, then began tweaking. It's simple and fast and oh so delicious. At parties it disappears faster than any of the dishes with meat in them!
