When the Noshers over atasked me to be part of their pizza party, I started looking for a flight to Boston. Whoa...slow down Gerry, this is a virtual pizza party.
Shaking my head. That's right, Vijay and his team are hosting an all week (pretend)with a bunch of pizza loving bloggers showing up with their favorite gourmet pizzas!
I shook the disappointment away of not spending a few days with The Noshers and started thinking about what kind of pizza I'd bring to a party like this. Just about every type you can imagine had been put out there by the other party people except for one of my favorites from a local pizza place here in my city.
Michael's Pizzeria has a mortadella and stracciatella pizza with pistachios and it's to die for. I decided my pizza needed the crunchy pistachios but could still be awesome with burrata and prosciutto.
Confession time. I used store bought pizza dough. Yes, I did and I felt some shame for about thirty seconds and then realized it's totally okay.
I draw the line at using the crusts which are already baked and have a shelf life fit for an earthquake kit. But if you buy dough, it still requires some love and caressing to turn out nice and crispy with a thin saucy topping on it.
Watch out though, too much topping and it'll land on your pants, too little and it's really just a dried up cracker folks. Try this prosciutto and burrata pizza this summer!
