I love pizza, but it can be so high in calories and greasy that you feel guilty for the rest of the day. Although pizza lovers rejoice! I have 3 different versions for any mood you are in! I have always loved pizza and was extremely excited when I got to go to Naples Italy, the birthplace of this amazing food. It was definitely not the kind of pizza I was used to but it was great none the less. The dough was hot, fresh and a little gooey with all this amazing cheese on it! Even though it was pouring rain and we had to go back to Rome on a train that smelled horrible with a ton of rude locals I wouldn't change it for the world!
As for these pizza's remember you can add any toppings you like, the ones I have are just suggestions. Make these whenever you have a craving for something warm, chewy and tasty.
