And throw it and some spaghetti sauce on top of whatever frozen cheese pizza was on sale. Works for me.

veggies, light on the sauce and well done. The gas station around the corner gives me a free slice of theirs with a $20 gas purchase. I really like free too.

Extra garlic powder and crushed dried red hot pepper.

From Wikipedia

Brier Hill pizza is prepared with a generous amount of thick "Sunday sauce", bell peppers and romano cheese, as opposed to the more typical mozzarella. It is one of several dishes the Youngstown area prides itself upon, in much the same way New Yorkers value their distinctive thin-crusted New York-style pizza.

Pepperoni, possibly sausage. Also the pineapple and ham.

While I personally think things like onions, mushrooms, any veggies at all make the pizza inedible, the real point you're making is that whatever topping someone likes is just fine. As you said, the perfect food.

Most of the time that would be my response also!

Not spicy, not sweet, not oregano-y sauce —— just a lovely, quality NY-style pie.

If I can’t get a delicious plain pie, then pepperoni, sausage, onions, and jalapeños is the ticket! They’ll make any pie taste better.

I’ll pretty much eat any kind of pie though. Even with anchovies unless it’s covered with em.

The pizza her mom made was so good! She wouldn't give up the recipe, but most of it was home grown. The sauce was home made with various spices and tomatoes they grew. I noticed mozz balls in the fridge, but have no idea where they came from.

She would slowly cook the sauce all day while making dough and gathering the various toppings. She didn't use many toppings, though. It could be a "Deerball" pizza if they had some venison. She'd make another with just veggies.

I've tried, but can't seem to come close It's also super fun and much better than the chain stuff.

Try your own

....sisters crazy because it was "a family secret". She said that if you give it away it lives forever, after you're gone. If not, it dies with you. She was a special lady, and when we make her sauce, we drink a glass of wine and remember her.

The sauce is definitely the special part of any pizza. I did see a couple animal bones in the sauce as it stewed. I assume from the deer her husband would harvest. Not sure how bones would add flavor. The marrow maybe?

Regardless, her sauce was killer and she still won't give it up. I asked my girlfriend for the recipe, but she didn't even know

Sounds kind of horrible, but it's delicious. I used to live in a town where this was the main item at the mom and pop pizza shops. It was such a big deal that the chains had to include cashew pizza on their menus as well.

I live in a different town now, so any time I want cashew pizza, I buy cashews and I take them into the pizza place. And I ask them if they will make me a cashew pizza. And they always say yes. I have to tell them how to do it.

It's your basic cheese pizza, with halved salted cashews.
You have to put the cashews under the cheese so they don't burn. Yum! 🍕

And pizza IS the perfect food, no matter what kind of pizza you want!
