Saturday Night Pizza Party!

Saturday night, my lovely friends Vincent and Kevin invited me and my lovely friends Hannah and Craig over for pizza. They said to bring my favorite toppings and sauce, and they would have the dough. Kevin had been wanting to do something like this for a while, and it was a smashing success! The dough we used came from a local Italian restaurant, and it was soooo goooood:

Kevin's first job was at a pizza shop, and he was in charge of spreading the dough in the pans:
Then everyone got to work placing their toppings on their respective pizzas. The first two that went in were Vincent's garlic, olive oil, goat cheese and roasted red pepper pizza and my green pepper, kalamata olive, and mushroom pizza:
Hannah then made the roasted tomato and pancetta/mozzarella roll pizza:
We saved Kevin's showstopper for last: a Thai style pizza where it was first covered with a peanut/hot chili sauce, then topped with chicken, cheddar cheese, red onion, and broccoli:
This particular pizza was the default winner--not because Kevin was a host, but because it was soo goood. It was like eating peanut noodles, but in pizza form.

At this point we were all in a food coma, but we still had to make room for strawberry pie:
I made the pie from The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century (2010). The recipe was called jellied strawberry pie, and the description for it was as follows: "If you're serving this to friends, call it 'strawberry pie.' If to enemies, call it 'jellied pie,' which sounds revolting--but, thankfully, isn't." Even though I was food coma full once we got to pie, it was delightfully light and refreshing. Overall, a great night with great friends, and definitely worth repeating. I think next time we should start at 3pm, and make a pizza an hour ;).
