    “From Star Trek?” Well that narrows it down.

    Garlic Herb Crust, pesto sauce, feta cheese, eggplant cut into lightning bolts, sun dried tomatoes for fire sprinkled with parmesan, called THE ZEUS!

  • doubleang

    I have never actually eaten anythign like this, but I am craving sushi, so Im going with: The Raw Deal:

    The pizza itself would be a thin style crust, no cheese, and some sort of thick soy sauce that may not have yet been invented
    Partway thru the cooking process, ahi tuna and pineapple are added, so that it is just that perfect pink color.
    After cooking, cover it with seaweed wrap, add pineapple and helpings of whatever sashimi sounds appetizing at the moment.

    I think maybe avocado gets thrown in at some point. thats always good too.

    Im sure this thing would come out disgusting, but I can dream…

    I’d have a thing layer of crust, a layer of pepperoni (not too spicy!) then another layer of crust with tomato sauce and just enough cheddar and mozarella cheese to keep all the Italian sausage on top from rolling off. Simple but perfect. I call it ‘This Side of Paradise’.

  • chelsea15jk

    *Edit I meant ‘thin layer of crust’. Not thing. I need to proofread more. XD

    1) Of these nine toppings, choose seven:
    extra cheese, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, sausage, onion, anchovies, olives, and artichokes.
    Called, of course, “7 of 9.”

    2) Artichokes, ricotta, sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms. They’re “All Good Things…”

    3) Barbequed chicken with peppers and onions, called the “Bird of Prey.”

  • Tony

    Hmmm,

    I would start with a large, NY style crust.

    Then instead of cheese or sauce, top the pizza with Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutters and $100 dollar bills. Serve cold.

    Called: “A Taste Of Armageddon”

    Take a hand tossed crust, with yeast and Synthehol. Cover in marinara, and then house made mozzarella, pepperoni, and some gagh. Bake in a brick fire oven until golden brown.

    Serve with a cold mug of blue Romulan ale or Bloodwine, and play some Dabo. No playing with a bat’leth afterwards!

  • http://feedeeworld.wordpress.com Amanda

    Opps! I forgot to name mine. It’s the Qapla’ pizza!!

  • Kristin

    One more…

    I’d like to make a pizza topped with jalepenos, banana peppers, with red pepper flakes, and tobasco sauce to taste. The name of the pizza is “Revenge.”

    Now there’s a story behind this pizza. You see, it’s a favorite of the Klingons. Young Klingon warriors challenge each other to eat a Revenge pizza, straight from the oven, to prove their imperviousness to pain. The pizza is much too hot for humans, but sometimes they try a slice the next morning for breakfast (since it’s been cooling in the refrigerator all night, they don’t have to deal with both temperature-hotness and spicy-hotness, and it’s a little more manageable. Plus, who doesn’t like cold pizza for breakfast?)
    Contrary to what you might think, this food-stealing doesn’t bother the Klingons at all. After all, they know (wait for it…)
    “Revenge” is a dish best served cold.

    (Thank you, I’ll be here all week.)
