Joy of Pizza Outside of the American Box

Since discovering and indulging in the amazing pizza of Buenos Aires when we were there in March, I've been making different combinations recreating some of the pizzas we enjoyed in BA, and coming up with new ones as well.

Last night's pizza: Herb and garlic thin crust with pesto, prosciutto, garlic-stuffed green olives, herbs, fresh spinach, parmigiana and romano shavings, topped with mozzarella. Unbelievably scrumptious.

Last week I did a whole-wheat herb crust topped with fresh tomato sauce (rough process of fresh tomato, basil, thyme, rosemary, red onion, garlic, and olive oil), Chinese sausages, big strips of giant roasted Marconi red peppers in olive oil, marinated black olives and garlic topped with gruyere, fontina, and parmigiana shavings.

Another recent one: leftover béchamel topped with crab, sliced mushrooms, leftover buttered corn, sliced truffle, sprinkle of Old Bay, fresh arugula, grated swiss and provolone.

 
Really neat menu! Thanks for posting. I rec'd a stone for my bbq stone as a gift and haven't tried

it. You and Richard have inspired me!

 
Beef. Lots and lots of Beef!

Buenos Aires is just magical. It also doesn't hurt that it's summer there when it's winter here and everything is lushy, blooming, and beautiful. The old parts of the city look like a combination of Paris and Vienna. Lovely city and I'd go back in a flash.
