I am thinking of attempting a deep dish / stuffed taco pizza this weekend.

Filling: cheese (mexican blend), seasoned beef or chicken, jalapenos, black olives. Top: A nice spicy salsa. After cooking add sliced tomatoes and lettuce to the top before serving.

This is sounding incredible in my head. I hope the execution is just as wonderful.

sounds awesome...maybe pico de gallo (tomato/onion/cilantro/jalapeno chopped up) sprinkled on top in addition to or instead of the sliced tomatoes/lettuce....i am very hungry for this. habenero jack cheese yum hungry
I think the pico on top would be better. The salsa, lettuce and tomatoes combo might make it a bit too watery on top after sitting for a little while.
I might just add the lettuce and tomato to individual slices. They wouldn't be good to have on there for re-heating purposes for uneaten pieces.

I need something to replace the spinach to go with the bbq. I thought about potatoes, but that's way too much starch I think. Maybe the spinach might still work? Or maybe smoked pulled pork mixed with cheddar cheese.
Roasted red peppers?

I can't keep the pepper haters straight though, so maybe not.

I've never been attracted to pizzas that aren't really pizzas - bbq, mexican, hawaiian, chicken, yada, yada.

Give me sausage, mushrooms and throw in some black olives (although I rarely get these because I'm the only one who likes them) and I'm happy. From St Louis cracker style to Chicago deep dish, to NYC style - like them all - just don't try to make it something it's not. If I want bbq, I'll go get some ribs.

And there has to be plenty of beer for the ride.

I planned on putting green peppers in there. Not as big of fan of red peppers in general. But I don't think the peppers, even if diced, make that stuffing mix with the cheese that the spinach creates, you know what I mean? Too crispy still.

That's why I was thinking potatoes--shredded--but potato plus all that crust would be overkill.

Then your sausage mushroom black olive doesn't count either, traditionally. :wink:
Neapolitan pizza has been given the status of a “guaranteed traditional specialty” in Italy. This allows only three official variants: pizza marinara, which is made with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil (although most Neapolitan pizzerias also add basil to the marinara), pizza Margherita, made with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and extra virgin olive oil, and pizza Margherita extra made with tomato, buffalo mozzarella from Campania in fillets, basil and extra virgin olive oil.
Where's that joeybomb smiley again?

I can eat most anything on a pizza, but we primarily get chicken mushroom and onion, VERY light on the cheese. The onion gets nicely charred at the place we normally order from.

Roasted peppers are softer though, and without the skins. You can make your own or pick them up in jars. I definitely see the texture/consistency thing being a problem otherwise.

You should think about what you eat with BBQ chicken when you eat it just as a meal. Then go from there. I always have corn on the cob with BBQ.

BTW, your like an artist or something, I'm impressed.
