COMMENTS/TIPS
     I'm just the biggest fan of Trader Joe's garlic and herb pizza dough; I could eat it alone. I think it makes the pizza, but the vegetables and meat of course add the greatest flavor to the pizza. We used vodka sauce instead of pizza sauce which turned out to be really tasty and made the pizza more sweet. It's just a simple, quick dinner but the results always turn out perfect if you just top pizza dough with your favorite things.
     I love the pizzas that we make. The crust is very doughy and has great flavor. I always eat so much of it, and that's a good sign  I guess. I like how we keep it somewhat healthy by using less cheese and putting on lots of good ingredients. 

Btw, we finished season 2 of Jersey Shore already HA
