What Is So Special About Gourmet
Pizza?
Everyone knows that a standard pizza comes with pepperoni, cheese, ground beef,
peppers, onions, anchovies and sausage. Today, gourmet pizzas are created
with any kind of topping. They are topped with anything from broccoli to
chocolate. There are gourmet pizzas for breakfast that can be topped with
scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese. And, there are vegetarian gourmet pizzas that
are topped with a medley of vegetables.
The gourmet pizza is relatively new. It has grown in popularity in nearly every
household in the United States. A Sunday afternoon of football will be a
definite hit with the gang if a gourmet pizza with all the toppings is served. A
sure pleaser for chocolate lovers is a dessert pizza topped with marshmallows
and chocolate.
Gourmet pizza was conceived with the belief that less is better. Only by using
the finest quality ingredients and one or two toppings, can a pizza acquire the
status of a 'gourmet'. Only the freshest and highest quality meats and freshest
mozzarella can be used. The difference in a standard and a gourmet pizza will be
proven with each bite.
An ordinary person, with a little imagination, can create a gourmet pizza at
home. A variety of pre-baked pizza shells are available in all types of food
stores. With some imagination and experimentation, a home chef can make a
mouth-watering work of art. Most food stores carry a line of these shells,
cheeses and gourmet sauces. Cheeses other than Mozzarella can be used.
Gourmet pizza shops continue to grow, offering a variety of pizzas from
different cultures. Every culture brings an innovative way to make the gourmet
pizza. These tasty delights will bring dining pleasure for years to come.
