My fav is fresh basil, tomato and buffalo mozzeralla... but there are a few ideas in that album. :-)
Just have some pizza dough in now for g/fs coming over for lunch... smokey chicky, buffalo mozzeralla, lots of herbs and garlic, a splattering of BBQ sauce for sweetness...

Over 20 years ago I used to buy pizza bread from Topo Gigio's in Mt Eden, I seem to recall this is the name that popped into my head ie topo gigio.The pizza was rolled very thin and the topping I think was just garlic, evoo, parmesan and salt and I can still smell and taste it.I would order this with mussels for a takeout and it is still my favourite. The only other one I like is with a homemade tomato base and add cheddar, ham, capsicum and feta and a wee bit of oil over top.The dough is thin and cooked high in oven at the highest temperature in oven.My son makes one similar and he adds eggplant.

I've recently been eating pizza in Manhattan, in pizza places where Italian is the first language and even the Italians were fiddling around with toppings, although most were fairly sparse.
Each to his own, of course, but I think the idea of 'authentic' can be questioned.I heard chef Anthony Bourdain talk at a book signing and he said the concept of 'authentic' is highly suspect.Old recipes evolve and there's no stopping them.The new and the old are equally acceptable and there's a pretentious stuffiness that goes with the idea of 'authentic'.

I use those thin crispy, pre-sauced bases, (Romanos I think) spread with a carbonara pasta sauce, top with prawns and scallops, halved cherry tomatoes and olives, camembert wedges (thin) and top with grated mozzarella and basil leaves. To die for!!

I agree...who wants to be a food snob? If it works for you and it is what you like, then go for it.

I use a can of spaghetti too but drain some of the sauce out as it can be too much ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, spring onions, pineapple and beetroot yes people find it weird but I love beetroot on my pizza it's really nice and cover with cheese

Leftovers make great pizza. I make the dough in my breadmaker and top with anything....we have had leftover chicken satay and rice, peas, beans, kumara, potato, roast chicken and gravy. All this along with whatever else. Or we might have tinned spaghetti, ham and cheese or the fancy chicken and brie combo with sun dried tomato. It is pretty much left to the individual to call out what they want. For us, often it is a quick meal on a night when I need to empty out containers. We all like them so that's what matters. Call it pizza, call it rubbish. I'm happy.

It's just my family name for the stripey look of the pizza after all the picky eaters have decided what they will and won't have on their bits ;)
Edited to add:Have one who wants a pile of jalapenos on his corner!
