  If you have the time I totally recommend you making homemade pizza dough . You can add any topping you like but this ends up being a whole meal in itself. Easy and everyone is more than satisfied!     Leftover sausage sliced from Sunday Sauce Curt's Next Generation Sauce Meatballs sliced leftover for Sunday Sauce Chopped  or sliced Peppers Roasted are great on this pizza Sliced Mushrooms Black Olives Grating Cheese Mozzarella use Whole Milk it melts better and taste better Parsley, basil and oregano fresh when possible 1 lb fresh dough or pizza shell Here's Mom's Pizza Dough Recipe Spread the dough out on cookie sheet or pizza pan, it's easier using shortening to spread out than olive oil makes it shrink back and then let it rise around 1 hour, however I use parchment paper to avoid the extra calories.  Add  the toppings of everything your heart desires from the options above. Top with grating cheese and mozzarella and bake on a hot preheate
