I do like salad pizza. Or, rather, caesar salad served on a pizza crust. The crust has to be the right consistency - foldable, like a new york pie (so you can hold in the salad), but thinner and preferably wood fired, crispy on the edges but not crackerlike, and the caesar has to be freshly made. Chicken optional.

They used to serve this at our college cafeteria, cooked the pizza in a wood oven right there and tossed the salad in front of you, and it was utterly delicious.

The leftovers were indeed terrible however. Solution: always eat it all the first time.

Honestly, the food at our college cafeteria (also including fairly decent mongolian barbecue and really REALLY good deli sandwiches) put a significant portion of the food I've had sense to shame. They should really franchise out.

(It took me like four edits to get this making sense: sorry)

I miss Pieworks, in Greensboro (lisah!) I could put all sorts of veggies and a pesto base. And the sweet pies (cold crust, lightly sweet cream cheese, mandarins, strawberries, kiwis and mint. I'd pick off all the chocolate chips when people got those.

Speaking of lisah, I just learned that you work with my neighbor Emily!

My love of mustard is also extreme. Mmmm, mustard.

For a long time I was one of those kids whose food couldn't touch or mix on my plate. I'm a little better about it now, but mustard on pizza is just one step too far for me. The hot dog slices are probably awesome, though.

I agree with Amy. Mustard and pizza should remain unmixy things.

Cheap kid delights: hot dog slices in our macaroni and cheese. But knowing my mother, I'm sure the mac and cheese was hand made with ricotta, mozzarella, and something third cheese I'm not recalling. Later incarnations included roma tomatoes baked in a casserole (nom), and salsa as the cheap and dirty way to spice it up.

But unless its Hawaiian with pepperoncini on the side, I want my pie with marinara, mozarella, and either sausgage, mushrooms, or eggplant parmesan.

I would not be against putting mustard on pepperoni pizza. That sounds kind of good.

I have been known to just eat a spoonful of mustard because I didn't have anything to put it on. So tasty. And such pretty flowers.

Ham, 3-cheese mix, on an alfredo or garlic-white sauce. nom nom nom

edit: because all the pizza places do sweet tomato sauce around here. Blurgh

I do have to say, I'm not a fan of marinaras that are sweet. I want salt, not sugar.

Amen to that. Our local Italian immigrant restaurateur ruined me for other lasagnas back in college with his savory tomato-meat sauce, and it wasn't until over a decade later that I found an Italian bistro in Memphis where I could stomach it.
