One of my dearest friends, is what we refer to as the ‘pizza monster’. She can crush pizza any time, day or night & even incorporated pizza into her pregnancy announcement as they introduced the newest ‘homeslice’ to their family. I know she is just cringing at the fact that I’m posting a recipe like this, as she is a firm believer of the classic pizza pie.
She was with me the first time I ordered this pizza at a local spot in Steamboat Springs, and claimed it as the best pizza I’d ever tasted & I stand by that statement still today. Although I am also a fan of the classic pizza toppings, I like will eat about anything that is topped brussels sprouts, goat cheese & truffle oil.
I wanted to create a gluten free version, full of sustainable & organically sourced products in an effort to feel a little better about myself with I top every last piece of this pizza (which has happened on multiple occasions). It’s hard to resist. I hope you enjoy!!
