SIDEWALL Pizza Company

The owners of SIDEWALL Pizza Company came to Travelers Rest, South Carolina to build canoes I think. Who knew they would end up making pizzas. I’m not sure about their canoe making skills, but their pizza making skills are spot on. For me, its about the crust. Thin, crispy but with a chew. That’s how…

White (Bianca) Pizza

A white pizza (or bianca pizza as they say in Italy) probably is not as flashy as some of the other pizzas I’ve posted, but if you love cheese like I do, it is a must try. Get the best dough, olive oil and cheese you can, it makes a huge difference. The photo is…

Buffalo Chicken, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Pizza

I like buffalo chicken wings. I like pizza. I like bacon. I like bleu cheese. Why not make that a pizza? I think this came about one day hanging with my niece and nephew. I wanted to encourage them to cook so we started making pizzas. They could put whatever they wanted on their pizzas….

Philly Cheese Steak Pizza

This may not be authentic, but it was good. Another perfect example of taking something good and making a pizza out of it. If you missed last weeks post, check out my “Croque Madame Pizza”. Leftover flank steak turned into another sandwich turned pizza. You could saute the veg before but I like the bite…

Croque Madame Pizza

One of my favorite sandwiches of all time is a Croque Madame/Monsieur. It is basically a fancy grilled ham and cheese. The Madame just adds a egg to the top of the Croque Monsieur. I’ve had this sandwich so many times in so many places and they all varied a bit, but they were all…

Pepperoni, Prosciutto and Pancetta Pizza

We LOVE pizza. I’ve been a little bit of a pizza snob for, oh, 20 years or so. I used to order delivery pizza once a week. Then I discovered store bought fresh pizza dough. With really good pizza dough and a pizza stone, you can make your own pizza at home with whatever toppings…

Pesto, Chicken, Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza

I’ve been making this pizza for years. I wish I could find the recipe I used the first time but just know I didn’t come up with this one. Someone else out there on the interwebs should get the credit. The pesto as the sauce with the other ingredients makes for a nice mix up…

Kale, Green Garlic and Mushroom Pizza

This pizza is outstanding. We are getting a lot of kale and green garlic from our CSA and I was thinking of ways to use it all. This one worked brilliantly. The kale gets crunchy on the top but tender below. The subtle flavor and aroma of the green garlic permeated the pizza. The mushrooms…

Thai Barbeque Chicken Pizza

Who doesn’t love pizza? I eat it just about twice a week (make it one night and leftovers another). Infinite possibilities exist with pizza and I enjoy trying to sample all of them. I bet I haven’t ordered pizza delivery in eight years. With the availability of quality ingredients and the fact that most grocery…

Caprese Pizza with Balsamic Drizzle

It’s finally heirloom tomato time and with the basil in our herb garden growing like crazy we decided to do a Caprese Pizza with a Balsamic Drizzle.
