When we make pizza , we usually make the pizza with full topping , like the works or some place , calls it , supreme . But tonight , i thought i should try making the authentic pizza margherita , I decided to make 2 kinds of pizzas tonight , since , obviously , Jay would not want pizza with only fresh mozzarella and basil as its topping . And Nick probably wouldn’t like it either . It’s light and it’s not as filling as the works or the supreme . So , i made my own pizza sauce earlier during the day and then made my pizza dough this afternoon too . The sauce was delicious and i thought it was perfect pizza margherita !!
