Sunday Pizza

I already posted today, but every Sunday I make a pizza and figured I would post here to share it with all of you. I just took it out of the oven:


The dough is homemade. The mozzarella is Polly-O Whole Milk, because the deli I would normally buy fresh cheese in was closed. I only had half a container of homemade sauce left and knowing that it wouldn't be enough I went to the store and purchased a container of "Francesco Rinaldi Tomato, Garlic and Onion." Not the thing that my Sicilian heritage would normally permit, but hey, drastic situations call for drastic measures. I want you to know that I spent TWENTY MINUTES staring at various jarred sauces (and some in cans) before choosing this one. It's not terrible, though it does contain an extremely non-Italian ingredient, "Soybean Oil." I don't recall my nonna (grandma) ever using this in her well stocked Bronx kitchen. The only reason I didn't buy a couple of cans of Tuttorosa Crushed Tomatoes and make some more sauce is that I'm tired and didn't feel like chopping onions. There's also pepperoni on this pie, which of course is a must. And, before I put it in the oven, I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on the sauce.

OK. Time to go eat.
