Every Wednesday, my husband’s work orders pizza, and since he’s the last one to leave work most nights, he grabs all the leftovers and brings them home so they don’t get thrown out. Generally, this is a good deal for him because pizza is one of his favorite foods and now he gets it every week. At this point, I’m wondering if he regrets the decision to take home all of last week’s pizza because he’s eaten nothing but pizza for the last 5 days. Why? Because this weekend I was taking a much needed day off work and decided that gosh darn it, I wanted pizza. And not some work leftovers either. I wanted my own delicious cornmeal crust pizza with my own delicious sauce and a personalized array of my favorite toppings arranged exactly how I like them. (I was feeling a bit selfish – can you tell? 
) I hadn’t made pizza in ages. It was time to shred some cheese and prep some toppings. In other words, it was pizza time.

Oh yay! Love this stuff. Perfect timing – I was thinking of making pizza for dinner tomorrow night.

Plan carried out! Made grilled pizza, with this sauce – SO yummy! Rick even approved, and he’s picky about such things! (For dough – the european peasant loaf – really good).

I spread your leftover pizza sauce on toasted sourdough bread and topped this with thick slices of mozzarella cheese. After a few minutes in the toaster oven, voila, pizza. Your dad loved it.
I would be interested in your recipe for a cornmeal pizza crust.

Remember when you made your own deep dish pizza about a year ago or so?? Still remember the sheer height of it!
I will definitely be trying this out, as I hate buying sauce, but just didn’t know how to make it? Wish I had the ingredients right now, I would make it tonight!
