Thanks Marco, and yes, we’re in agreement, there’s too much topping however in defence it was stuff that was in the fridge and needed used up and it was our main meal of the day rather than a light bite. My wife is a believer in more is more when it comes to food. Also my 17yr old son eats pizza like a herd of wildebeest eat grass so none was wasted!

Sure, as I said it comes down to personal taste, but if you want to make an authentic Italian pizza, then it's really all about the base (thin and crispy, preferably made from scratch and cooked in a wood-fired oven), then a *little* cheese (MUST be mozzarella), and a decent but not OTT coverage of fresh, good quality toppings.

But if that's not the goal, then do what you like and enjoy!

Lol - alles klar!

In any case, don't be a stranger here and let's see more of your food in future

i like a lot of nice rich, slightly spicy tomato sauce topping on first, as it helps with moisture and keeps topping in place.. no mushrooms tho. sweet pepper is good too. chicken and sweet pepper/onion is a good un. quite like a nice hawaiian too not very italian i know, but hey ho.. having fewer teeth than god gave me a softer base too nowadays

yes these were from sainsburys. the maple sauce was good and plenty of meat, although the tesco shanks are nicer and leaner. guess i could make my own sauce tho

Haha, yes I thought that would be your reason, and also why you love that soft doughy 'glorified wallpaper paste' shite, with no discernable crust, posing as 'bread', supermarkets here sell in sliced loaves, and which is only found in Britain!
