Hey, you mentioned potato and onion on a pizza.
Brought to mind a pizza joint near one of the St. Paul colleges; it was
(past tense; they're gone) called Spudzza. Dang, it was good! A crust
with a layer of thin-sliced potatoes on it and then the toppings. I
would typically buy the one that didn't have much more on it than some
romas, some basil, and some kind of sour cream sauce with some white
cheese on top. Dayam! It was, as we sometimes say, deeLISH! If this
is heretical, I'll say five Hail Marys and we'll call it even.

I'm not Giusi, but when I was young and foolish and lived in Jerusalem
for a month or so, one of our favorite treats was a sort of "breakfast
pizza." They'd make a flatbread, throw it in the oven til it puffed
up like pita. Take it out, rip off the top, make the sides "wall-
ish", and crack a couple of eggs into it, add some potato, cheese,
meat, etc. (this was in the Arab quarter), then slide it back into the
stone oven to cook. MMMMM!

Next time I am running around photographing things, I am going to shoot the
counter at the "by the slice" shop in the mall. SIMPLICITY... it's the
stacked up added stuff that makes US (and prob British) pizzas such a
calorie bomb.
Try making a paper thin potato and onion one layer thick on good dough with
salt and rosemary, thread of oil when it comes out. Serve it as a first
course so less of that pricey meat gets eaten. Come summer, you'll be ready
for the zucchine one.

This sounds good. Do you layer the potato over the onion or vice
versa? Fresh or dried rosemary?

The potato almost covers the pizza, the onion is sparer. Fresh or dried,
after a hot oven it would be hard to know.

Giusi and Barb,
Do you think that Pizza Margarita (Roma tomato, fresh basil and fresh
mozzarella on thin crisp crust) was what Barb had? I don't think it
has a sauce on it, maybe a drizzle of EVOO

I like a good pizza Margherita, but the one that Spudzza sold had s sour
cream sauce on it ‹ not the same thing as a PM.

To me it wouldn't even be a pizza, but a flat bread with fancy stuff. Which
I probably would like very much. A Margarita is the holy object and is not
messed with. It is the number one sold in Italy. Even garlic on it makes
it something different.
