Friday is traditionally pizza night at our house. When my husband was single living with his son, David, they always would have pizza every Friday. So when we got together, the tradition continued. This pizza is sooo good and not one of those you can get at any take out place. A great way to make a meal yet wow everyone too:) And while I might not be jetting off during this holiday weekend to somewhere warm and sunny, I can fix this and pretend (sort of) that I am in the Bahamas.
This will make enough for 2 pizzas
