Hands up who loves a pizza on a Friday night?

Just as I suspected. Everyone

(If you didn’t put your hands up, you’re dead to me)

And what’s better than a pepperoni pizza?  Nothing!Except maybe this:

And what’s better than this recipe for Pepperoni, Mozzarella and Mint  Pizza?  Absolutely nothing! Although The Gaylords come a very close second.

I adapted this recipe from My Table: Food for Entertaining by Pete Evans, mainly just to make it a bit quicker.  I’m far too lazy to make pizza dough on a Friday night so my base of choice is pita bread and I use a bought tomato paste mixed with some garlic and herbs for the base. If you want to be entirely DIY, Pete’s recipe is here.

My quick version is here:

This is so good – the combination of the pepper mix and the mint just lift this out of normal pizza realm into a taste sensation that wil get your tastebuds dancing just like the hipster groovers in the photo below.

And if that plain old thing got them going,  I guess my version would have had them doing a bit of this…

Or maybe some of this:

Just not this…

Yep, this is Friday night perfection on a plate!

Yay, it’s Christmas!  I’ll celebrate with a very special cocktail next time round.

Have a great week!
