Regardless, whenever I come home, my dad makes an effort to give us a feast of different wood fired pizzas. It is absolutely divine.
He is really big on research and getting his technique just right, as well as finding unique recipes. And I am going to enlighten you all with some of the best ones.
Goat Cheese and Chorizo
Honestly, my favorite. I would eat my own arm if it was covered in goat cheese and chorizo.
Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta
I never really got Brussels sprouts until last fall when my dad took my mom and I to Babbo downtown, where we had Brussels Sprouts and pancetta. Honestly, pancetta is just thick bacon, and you can't go wrong with that. And the Brussels sprouts are just sweet enough to go perfectly. And on a pizza? I couldn't as for something tastier.
Apple and Brie
We ordered this type of pie once at a restaurant near us as an appetizer, and I was hooked. Even now, I eat apples and brie cheese as a casual snack, or on a panini regularly. But all melty and gooey on a pizza? Its just sweet enough to be a treat, but tart and savory enough that you still feel like you're eating a pizza. Even Andrew, the pickiest eater in the world, likes it!
Lemon and Mozzarella
Its a dessert pizza. I was scared, at first, to try it but it was so good. With powdered sugar on top, its the perfect way to end a pizza feast.
Cinnamon Brown Sugar
The first time my dad opened up the Pie Hole for a pizza-making extravaganza, I demanded a dessert pizza at the end. Without even a recipe, he topped some dough with cinnamon and brown sugar, then cooked it and topped it with fresh vanilla ice cream. (Did I mention last year's birthday gift was an ice cream maker?) It was literally one of the best things I have ever tasted.
And after eating all of these, I never wanted to move or eat again.
Now I'm hungry! And lunch is three hours away. :)
