It's Pizza Time!


Ok before you continue you must realize that I am a college student and I don't always have time to make my own dough, so don't expect me to teach you how to make the best dough ever.  However, be prepared to use minimal ingredients to make awesome flavors!

Ok so to start out I am going to show you one of my favorite pizza combinations ever.  It's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me.  It is a gorgonzola and caramelized onion pizza. Sounds awesome right!? Well it is.  What is even better is that it only requires a few ingredients.

To start out we are going to caramelize some onions.  Chop up about 1/2 -1 red onion (depending how much you like onions).  Put some olive oil in a frying pan and dump in the onions.  Now you add some brown sugar...a little...a lot....it doesn't matter.  Now watch the magic!

Stir it around and wait until they look like little worms!! Also  you might want to cut the onions a little thinner.  I am not a skilled chopper so try not to judge me.

Now roll out any kind of pizza dough that you want. I prefer thin crust for this particular pizza, but go crazy with whatever you like.  I used the pillsbury thin crust dough and it worked great.  Just roll it out and generously sprinkle it with gorgonzola cheese.



Now put the caramelized onions on top ( i sprinkled more cheese after putting on the onions) and then stick it in the oven.  You probably just have to follow the baking directions for whatever pizza dough you are using, so I am not going to specify temperature and time.




If your pizza looks like this then congrats you succeeded! Now slice it and eat it!


For another variation of pizza I made Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It turned out awesome! This recipe was taken from the Pioneer Woman. If you don't already read her blog do it...really she is awesome.


Ok so the great thing about pizza is you don't need any specific measurements.  For this pizza i took some chicken chunks and covered them in BBQ sauce.

I sprinkled  BBQ sauce on the the dough and generously sprinkled mozarella cheese on top.

Now put the chicken on top of cheese and add some red onions.

Stick in the oven and voila!!!!

I added cilantro on top and it was definitely a good choice.


 and then of course the pepperoni and pineapple pizza. It is pretty self explanatory :)
