Looking for ideas for Pizza this weekend.

[Craig McDonald]

I want to try something other than the age ol' BBQ chicken Pizza. Any ideas are great as long as there is smoke involved.

[rat88]

Pulled pork and chopped brisket are good on anything.

[kmhfive]

Have you cooked the pizza on smoke?

How about cold smoking some cheddar to add to the topping?

[Steve_D12]

smoked bacon on anything, pizza included, is pretty amazing. bacon, caramelized onions, mushroom is a savory bomb of a pizza

[HouseHomey]

Well said sir. Tomatoes too! And thick Motz or Gouda.

I am kind of a New Haven/ Fairfield County purist when it comes to pizza, no mandarin oranges, or peanuts but one time I did a shrimp scampi pizza with garlic and olive oil which came out amazing! I tried so hard to find images of it, but came up with these instead- Hopefully, they will inspire you-

This one is using King Arthur Flour's recipe for focaccia bread and doing it in the cast iron skillet. It took close to an hour- 45 minutes more than my liver had budgeted for-



So this was a dessert pizza with grilled peaches on a Montana wild huckleberry mascarpone mix for the sauce. It was done on a large chocolate chip cookie.

Wow, those desert pizzas look amazing.

EdF I am not living in CT anymore, as I have been in Montana for about 20 years, but yearn for that style of pizza frequently. My family is still in Fairfield, CT

[EdF]

allsid I went to Fairfield Prep!

[JCGrill]

Just about any BBQ meat would work, with BBQ sauce or pizza sauce. The smoked cheese idea kmhfive suggests is also good. Veggies, perhaps, depending on the veggies.

[Pirate Scott]

Banana, or pepperoncini rings and ham.

Hey EdF I am actually in Montana, but grew up in Stratford (young) Glastonbury (HS) and my parents have been lifetime residents of Fairfield county (Fairfield/Stratford) with maybe a 6 year exception. Even bad pizza in that area is better than good pizza in Montana- Unless I make it of course- LOL

[EdF]

Course, I've heard that are some great Neopolitan style joints there these days. My impression was from the early 80's.

[ComfortablyNumb]

kmhfive What place in Spokane?

[kmhfive]

ComfortablyNumb , unfortunately, that was a while back. I can’t remember the name. I’ll ask my wife if she remembers.

[DWCowles]

Welcome Craig McDonald

[Skip]

Hope I'm not too late here. Seafood pizza--Alfredo sauce, shrimp, crab, very thin tomatoes, smoked cheese, and a sprinkle if Italian herbs.

[Spinaker]

That sounds amazing

[jgreen]

Pizza needs pepperoni and bacon. But all the above sound great and giving me some inspiration. I am trying pizza tonight.

I made flatbread pizza's this weekend with sautéed mushrooms, caramalized onions, and topped with gruyere cheese. Before putting on toppings, I brushed flatbread with olive oil and grilled on Weber. They were a big hit!
