Normally I’m a picky B about pizza crust, but sometimes when you really want pizza in 15 minutes and don’t want to deal with a crust, just do it, get the pre-made crust. This one has such good toppings, any base will do the trick.
And before you @ me about fruit on pizza, yes I am a ham and pineapple fan, no need to yuck my yum if you aren’t.
Since we’re using pre-made/cooked dough, all the "work" is really just assembly. Or feel free show me up and use a proper dough and please invite me over for a slice. The trick is in the layers of flavor: a spicy calabrian marinara instead of plain red sauce, thin peach slices for a juicy bit of sweetness, spicy salami for another pop, and dollops of mascarpone to lighten things up with an almost custardy finish in the oven. An ideal easy showoff dinner for a friday night hang.
