Believe it or not, this pizza dish is one I learned to make when I worked as a sandwich artist at McAlisters Deli! I had this manager who could make these amazing cullinary combinations & the most popular one was the Chicken Caesar Pizza. I learned how to make it myself and have, over the years, put my own spin on it.
Over the last couple of years, I've come to greatly enjoy cooking homemade pizzas using a Pizza Stone. They can make the crusts crispier and so much closer to restaurant quality!
Also, when making homemade pizzas, I've never found a grocery store premade pizza crust that I liked, but I've always liked using Pita Bread (no pockets) as a crust.
This recipe calls for both Mozzarella and Provolone Cheeses. However, Walmart has an Italian Style shredded cheese mix that contains both, that I often will use
Does this have to be served immediately after cooking? Or can this dish be kept & keep warm to serve after cooking?
This dish can do either! if you wrap each pizza slice in aluminum foil and place into an insulated container (a cooler without ice in it), the pizza slices can be kept warm for a few hours. Helpful when taking for a tailgate party after a Saturday long run!
Can any of this be prepped ahead of time? (say, the night before a Saturday morning long run)?
Yes! You can assemble the pita pizzas the night before, store them in the refrigerator, and then cook in the oven the next day!
