A Quick, Somewhat Homemade Pizza



On my way home the other night I had a craving for pizza, but I also didn't feel like laying out for delivery. I do this from time to time, picking up some inexpensive ingredients and making a quick pizza with a Boboli or other pre-made crust. Yes, I really should be making crust from scratch, like my father, but I was tired and lazy, so this is what I got.





I didn't have any homemade sauce handy, so I picked up a little jar of a sauce that looked interesting, L.E. Roselli's Pizza Sauce. It's pretty good, so consider it recommended. You can use whatever your favorite marinara sauce it, really, but I liked that this one came in a little jar.







For the cheese, I used a mixture of fresh mozzarella, pecorino romano, and parmigano reggiano. Some pepperoni and sliced baby 'bella mushrooms, a little pepper, basil, garlic, and oregano, and that's it.





Came out pretty good, and it was relatively cheap and easy.

Wow this pizza looks great. How much did it cost for all the ingredients? Where did you get the mozz?

Way to go, looks great. I have a feeling it cost more than a $20 il porto pie?? Or maybe little louies?

All told is was about $20-$25 for what ended up being two 12" pizzas with a fair amount of ingredients left over.

Could have ordered for that, sure, but it was more fun to make.
