Homemade Pizza

I have been wanting to make my own pizza for a while, but I was too intimidated to make my own dough and couldn't find any at the grocery store. We get take-out every so often, but what I really like is a blend of unusual flavors and lots of toppings, which is expensive in takeout. Drew and I are fans of California Pizza Kitchen, but there is not one anywhere near where we live.

So, I finally found frozen pizza dough at the grocery store. Its not very expensive and I was able to use a few ingredients I already had in the pantry as toppings. We had one BBQ Chicken (yes, I totally stole this idea from CPK) - it had BBQ sauce, cooked chicken breast cubes, mozzarella cheese, fresh cilantro, corn, Carribean spices, and red pepper powder on it. I wanted to add some black beans, but didn't have any on hand. it was plenty filling with out it. The other pizza was a mix of Mediterannean flavors - it had pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, and greek spices on top.

I forgot to take a picture, but apart from burning the sundried tomatoes on the Mediterannean pizza they turned out really well. I know we will be making these more often in the future.
