We oftentimes get together for game night with our friends. This month, Kim and Nick hosted the "Iron Chef" edition of game night. The challenge was PIZZA. Each team had 10 minutes in the kitchen -- they had to roll out the dough, top their pizza, and get it in the oven. So every 10 minutes a new pizza came out for the taste test. We judged the pizzas on originality, flavor, and presentation.
Becky & Steve's pizzas won the awards for flavor, as well as overall. Nikki and Josh's pizza won the award for originality and presentation. They each made a pizza; one was all veggies (Nikki), the other all meat with macaroni and cheese (Josh). They cut their pizza crusts in the shape of the yin-yang symbol. All of the scores were very close. And, all of the pizzas tasted great. We are lucky to have friends who enjoy eating and cooking as much as we do.
If you want some ideas for creative pizzas, here is a list of the entries:
Nikki -- all veggies
Josh -- macaroni & cheese with buffalo sausage (he cut the sausage in the shape of a buffalo, too)
Kim & Nick -- salmon, olives, fresh dill, garlic
Todd & Michelle -- pesto, fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, garlic
Becky -- carmelized onions, figs, walnuts, gorgonzola, fresh greens and a balsamic reduction
Steve -- roasted red peppers & garlic, fresh herbs, and spicy marinara
Michelle -- baked apple & almond
Josh -- vegetarian philly cheese steak , made with portabella mushrooms and spicy cheese sauce
Zak -- putanesca (olive, marinara sauce) with four cheeses
