Odd fact I think I've mentioned before: I hate anchovies but I love Caeser salad. Go figure. I guess it has something to do with the anchovies being whole or chopped on a pizza and not noticable in the salad. Or maybe there's some chemical reaction going on with the pizza, the sauce, the cheese, and my mouth that makes it taste awful to me.

So today is the day to make or order a pizza with the works, as long as you don't put anchovies on it. If you do I'll have to have an APB (Anchovies Points Bulletin) declared. Here's a recipe from CompleteRecipes.com that includes one with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and olives (though use fresh mushrooms instead of canned). If you're a vegetarian, try this one from RecipeZaar.

I know, you don't have to be told how to make your own damn pizza ...

I don't think it's possible to have too many veggies on a pizza. I regularly have one type of meat, but around 6 types of vegetable on my pizzas.

Some that I don't regularly see elsewhere (but are delicious on pizza) are:
Broccoli (goes great with the melted cheese!)
Asparagus
Zucchini

Caesar salad should not be made with anchovies. The dressing has a little Worcestershire sauce, which has anchovies in it but that's it. Occasionally, I like my pizzas with everything on them to have anchovies. In those cases, the saltiness of the anchovies is there, but the fishiness mixes with the medley of meat, vegetables, and cheese.

Call me when it's Anti-Hawaiian Pizza Day. Pineapple on pizza is just awful.
