No whole milk mozzarella?

I’ve never thought to try red onion on a pizza before, that sounds wonderful!

Mozzarella is generally way too bland. (Unless it is buffalo Mozzarella)
Havarti has much more flavor & melts easily.

I’ve always found part-skim mozzarella bland, but Sorrento whole milk mozzarella is very flavorful to me. Fresh mozzarella too, but I gotta pat it dry with paper towels lol the watery stuff grosses me out for some reason.

Since you got pizza on my brain and we’re already doing hot dogs, baked beans, and chips tonight, I think I’ll plan for pizza tomorrow night. We like getting Wegman’s or homemade crusts and letting everyone build their own. Big Mac pizza for me this time. Substitute thousand island dressing for sauce, browned and drained ground beef, American cheese, onions, pickles, sesame seed crust, and after it’s baked I put shredded iceberg lettuce on it. The lettuce makes it appear slightly healthy

Other ready-made crusts that I like:
Boboli - thin crust
Flour Tortillas - Burrito size, or smaller

I have also frequently used Extra Sharp Cheddar for even more flavor ! ! !

Ok, I didn’t cook it, but it was good enough to share anyway. I took my baby sister out for her 21st the other night, to a rather nice little Italian place for dinner and a glass of good wine to celebrate. It’s one of those places where grandma runs the show, her son runs the kitchen, and everyone in the place is related.

It was excellent! I don’t go there often (I can’t afford to!) but I always enjoy it. Everything is hand made there, all the baking is done in a wood fired oven, and it’s one of the few places that makes gnocchi properly. They make an amazing focaccia too, you can see some on the left side of the photo.
