It had been too long since our last Pizza Night, and we thought it was time. Well, it was a combination of that and the fact that we just adopted another dog, and we decided to celebrate by showing him what a treat Pizza Crust can be!
Anyway, we wound up making two pizzas…the first (this one) was based on a pie that my son really likes from a local thin crust pizza place, and the second option (Roasted Eggplant Bruschetta Pizza) came about because of my wife’s intense distaste for pickles. For this particular pizza, we started with some pre-made Chicken Tenders that we defrosted, and then we added some Homemade Dill Pickles, corn, and onions. We also made a spicy aioli to accentuate the other flavours before topping our pizza with a blend of cheddar and monterrey jack.
In the end, this pizza turned out really well. The sweetness of the corn and onion balanced the pickles really nicely, and the aioli complemented the chicken. Then, the texture of the thin, crispy crust really put it over the top!
