I really enjoying trying to cook different things and lately I've been trying my hand at homemade pizza. I just came up with a combination that I thought I would share......pork tenderloin and carmelized onion.
Dough and sauce recipes are pretty much the same so I'll just skip to the good part.
I cut the pork tenderloin into 1 inch medallions and marinated them for 2 hours in Cavender's Greek seasoning and extra virgin olive oil.
After it marinated, I cooked the pork in a cast iron skillet until it was about medium. While the pork cooled I sliced up a large white onion and sauteed it in olive oil until it was a nice golden color.
I put the pie together with dough, sauce, good mozzarella, thin slices of the pork and topped with the onion. I cooked it in a 500 degree oven for about 8 minutes (time may vary).
I typically just like pizza with vegetables but this is the best pizza I've ever tried. 😉
Anyone else make pizza? What are your favorite toppings?
I read a thing on Facebook about Pizza rolls a couple of days ago by Carl (Norm) and did them the other night.
Rolled out fresh dough, pepperoni, sausage, boudain and all wrapped up when cooked at 400 for 20 minutes. Nice and toasty.
Man it was good. I even did a bit of dipping stuff with ranch dressing and they were so GOOD...

Sausage and Rapini
Oh, and real mozzarella cheese, not that rubbery crap from the grocery store.
Mmmmmm. :pizza:
Made this for the wife, fresh rolled dough, she is not a fan of cheese. I have no idea why I took a picture of it, must have been very bored. The scary part it that it was cataloged and I knew where to find it in a moments notice.
This is certainly not a gourmet option like those described above, but what I do on a week-day that's a tasty and quick meal is "pizza toast". I use sliced sweet french bread (as large a diameter as possible), Contadina pizza sauce, rubbery store-bought mozzarella, onions, peppers and rubbery store-bought pepperoni or Jimmy Dean sausage or whatever, sprinkle a little rubbery store-bought parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 450-500 and enjoy. Takes about 15 minutes and you're scarfing.

That's the next thing I'd like to try. I bet that was good!:-)

Now that what I'm talking about. That does look grreaat!!
One of my favorite pizzas is a pizza Margherita. I made my version with dough, sauce, cheese, fresh roma tomatoes sliced to look like pepperoni and fresh basil leaves. I arranged the tomatoes on the pie and put one whole basil leaf on each slice of tomato. It was almost as good as the tenderloin and onion....:good:
Sometimes, when the grandkids are over, we take the pop-n-fresh biscuits, flatten them out, top them with the pizza stuff and bake. They're not to bad and the kids like them.:-D

Funny you would mention that Frank. I've been thinking it's about time I build another pizza.
I don't get all fancy. I just get a Chef Boyardee cheese pizza kit and doctor it from there.
Usually just ham, mushrooms on occassion black olives but always a ton of mozarella (sp?). Once the dough is spread out (I hate that job) I toss it in the oven a little while before putting all the toppings on.
I bake mine till the cheese starts getting a little crusty on top.
I know this part will sound weird, but sometimes while eating I'll sprinkle on some red-wine vinegar and garlic powder. It was about the most bizarre thing I had heard until I tried it and I'm super picky on the eatins.
Damm... I'm getting hungry!!!

If I could only eat one kind of pizza for the rest of my life, I'd go with your choices, Ted. But for variety's sake, I don't mind the other kind(s).

"ANCHOVIES" on a Pizza? Just salty boogers in my opinion!
yuck, gross, nasty, etc.
Hell they barely make a decent catfish bait.

My mother almost always put anchovies on her home made pizzas because Dad really loved them. I grew to like them myself. I would order them in restaurants when I could convince my friends to try them, but eventually quit when I could hear the cooks argue over who was going to put them on! Plus, they seemed to have disappeared from menus.
I had not eaten an anchovy since 1975 untill last year when I had another of Mother's pizzas. I wondered why I had liked them before.;-)

I have to order them on the side because I don't know anybody else that likes them, including my wife. They do probably contain about a month's worth of salt and the cottonseed oil or whatever they're packed in isn't probably supposed to be on my diet either. Like a lot of other things in this world, they're yucky but I like them.

LOVE THEM FUZZY FISH !!!
IN NYC AT THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD THEY MADE REAL HOT SAUSAGE OR SWEET SAUSAGE.THE HOT WENT GREAT WITH THEM FUZZY FISH, TED
I LIKE SARDINES STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAN AS WELL AS PICKLED HERRING KNOWN AS JEW FOOD IN THE HOOD--PASS THE POTATO KNISH PLEASE--
Pizza-WHAT DOESN'T GO ON A PIZZA
My wife is Norwegian and I might not have ever developed a taste for pickled herring if not for her. Sardines? Love 'em. When my mom got mad at my dad when I was a kid, she would make herself a sardine and onion sandwich. It was kind of a passive-agressive kind of thing. The other Norwegian thing that I might have never experienced if not for my wife's family was ludafisk. I don't know if I spelled that right, but it's kind of a fish jello that you put on mashed potatoes. Kathy's dad would laugh his head off when he saw me eating it: "Look at him, he likes it!"
I've used Appian Way Pizza Mix since the early 1950's. Way better than Chef Boy Ardee and beats any pizza house pizza. Matter of fact, the wife and I made one for supper tonight with hamburger, Italian Sausage, 3 kinds of cheese (cheddar, provolone) & mozzarella, mushrooms and pepperoni. Finger lickin' good.
