Garbage Pizza

Hello Hello!

Whhhhhooooo wants pizzaaaaaaa??? I know I do. Like, always. Seriously…why is pizza so good? Is it the sauce? The cheese? The carby goodness?This pizza pie was always made by Dustin’s father. It was one of the recipes he was known for making. I always loved when he would make his garbage pizza.

Normally, I’m the type of person who is perfectly content with just a plain pie, or a pie with some black olives. But that’s really it. But once in a while, when I’m craving just a hearty pie, this one definitely hits the spot.

The reason he referred to this as “garbage pizza” is because it was made with just about every ingredient you could possibly ever want on a pizza. The sauce is extremely simple and he always used pre-made Luongo pizza shells.

This recipe is extremely simple to whip up and it makes quite a bit of pizza, so I hope you’re hungry. This is a great appetizer or lunch if you’re entertaining a group of people. If we have any leftover pieces, we tend to freeze them and re-toast them up at a later date. It actually keeps really well in the freezer.

I hope you enjoy!
