Shakshuka Pizza
Spicy shakshuka with cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, red bell peppers, Middle Eastern spices, feta, baked eggs, homemade za'atar pita chips, fresh parsley & mint I always get nervous about putting baked eggs on a pizza, because it's so hard to get the timing right. You want the eggs to be cooked, but also runny, but also you want the pizza crust to be cooked and not burnt. So if we're doing egg pizza, we usually go fried or poached or something else that can be made separately an

Roasted Red Peppers & Artichokes
Roasted artichokes with curry aioli, roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, manchego cheese, fresh oregano In the past we've taken the time to labor over the preparation of whole fresh artichokes, but this pizza is all about the cheater's way out. Fresh is usually the superior option, but sometimes you just have to be okay with using canned vegetables. And I'm okay with it. Artichokes are a pain. Recipe Ingredients: 1 ball of pizza dough flour for dusting semolina flour for pi

Chanterelles, Tomatoes & Garlic Scapes
Oven-roasted cherry tomatoes & chanterelle mushrooms, garlic scape pesto with walnuts & Parmesan cheese, fresh feta cheese, toasted pine nuts Garlic scapes are such a great find this time of year. They make you feel like you went out and foraged for wild garlic even when you just walked down the street to the farmers' market. They're also super versatile and they go great with our chanterelle mushrooms (also a great find that we wished we had foraged for). You can, of course,

Strawberries, Tomatoes & Basil
Balsamic-marinated strawberries, lemon-mint ricotta, caramelized onions, mozzarella, garlic-roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh basil This pizza is an updated version of one of our earliest pizza creations, back when we were just starting to experiment and we didn't know how to take a good picture to save our lives. We also didn't write anything down back then, so all we had was a dark photo and our questionable memory. But we were pretty sure we remembered it being tasty, so we w

Eggplant Fesenjan Pizza
Vegetarian fesenjan (with walnuts & sumac), roasted eggplant, pomegranates, fried noodles, parsley & mascarpone Fesenjan is a Persian dish that is typically made as a chicken stew with walnuts and pomegranates, but we found a recipe a while back that made a vegetarian version with eggplant, and it is supremely delicious. We actually make a version of this sauce every couple of weeks because it's so easy to do—we let it cook down to an even thicker, pastier consistency and jus

Poached Eggs, Tomato & Polenta
Homemade tomato sauce (with anchovies, basil & garlic), fried polenta croutons, Danish Blue cheese, poached eggs, hazelnuts, sauteed tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, wilted frisee & radicchio Poached eggs are a really good alternative to the baked egg on a pizza. They may sound like they're more complicated, but poaching an egg is actually a lot simpler than you'd think. Plus, you don't have to worry about cooking your eggs at the same rate as your pizza dough and finding that

Pumpkin Mac & Cheese Pizza
Mac & cheese with pumpkin, onions, Cheddar, Mozzarella, garlic & nutmeg, topped with scallions, chives, cherry tomatoes & toasted panko bread crumbs This pizza may not be the most elegant or refined of the pies we've created (especially compared to the previous one), but sometimes you just have to give in to pizza comfort food a little. We'd made a mac & cheese pizza before, though this was in the days when we were still bright eyed and bushy tailed and not writing anything d

Chaat Pizza 2.0
Buffalo mozzarella, homemade mango chutney, Cap'n Crunch cereal, tomatoes, poblano peppers, onions, dried noodles, cilantro, roasted peanuts, vindaloo curry & red chili powder This recipe is inspired by the chaat (a type of Indian street food) made at Desi Chaat House in West Philly. We went here pretty frequently in college and are almost 95% sure they use actual Cap'n Crunch cereal in their chaat. To be honest, I don't even know what traditional ingredient the cereal is sup
