Gourmet pizza

I used to think I hated pizza. But what I hated, I discovered later, was cheap sausage, pepperoni, and greasy cheese thrown onto some crust. I now know (especially after visiting Rome and getting pizza al taglio) that I love pizza, and love the endless possibilities.

I saw a lot of unexpected combinations in Rome, like sausage, potato, and olives, or zucchini flower and anchovies. Today as I was sitting hungry in class, I stumbled upon Martha Stewart's collection of pizza recipes. Martha Stewart's pizzas have provided that same pleasant surprise for me as I found discovered these new flavors that I plan to add to my pizza repertoire.

1. Roasted Vegetable and Wild Mushroom with Pesto

 2. Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

 3. Three Cheese Pizza

 4. Pesto Pizza

 5. Sausage and Olive Pizza

 6. Roasted Vegetable and Ricotta Pizza

 9. Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomato Pizza

P.S. I got a pizza stone for my wedding and will never make my homemade pizza on anything else!
