His and Her Pizzas

All you need is 4 simple ingredients for Pioneer Woman's pizza dough recipe. There is NO excuse not to make your own pizza! I love pizza, because it is versatile. For the base, you can go traditional with tomato sauce or go classy with pesto or even more simple, just garlic olive oil drizzled on the dough. Varieties of cheeses abound- mozzarella, cheddar, goat cheese, parmesan. Then there are the toppings... veggies, meats, fruits. Whatever you want, I promise it'll probably taste delicious on this pizza crust! Let your imagination create and design your pizza masterpiece!

My his and her pizzas are for my parents. Mom enjoys her pizza with Canadian bacon and pineapple rings. Dad loves his garlic shrimp, fresh basil, and arugula pizza.
