It’s pizza time!

Every time is pizza time, am I right?

Ok, so maybe you might not agree with me (especially if you don’t reaaaaaally love pizza, like the hubster), but for me, I could eat pizza all day, every day.

I know I’ve mentioned that before, but I feel it’s worth talking about since I’m sharing a new kind of pizza today.

So, tell me…do you love pizza as much as I do? Is it a weekly meal in your house? Do you have a favorite pizza place?

If you’ve been to Chicago before, then you know that we’re famous for deep dish pizza (hello, Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s…two of my favorite places). And while deep dish pizza hold a special place in my heart, I do love thin crust, too.

The hubster and I have a favorite thin crust pizza place that is out-of-this-world good. We’re creatures of habit and always order a sausage and mushroom pizza. But, I’m pretty much open to any kind of toppings, as I’m not picky when it comes to pizza!

In fact, if I order a pizza just for me (which is very rare), I usually load it with black olives, sausage, mushroom, maybe some garlic, and green olives. Sounds weird, I know, but it’s so good! Green olives definitely give it a different flavor, but since I could also eat olives every day, it’s a special pizza treat for me.

Puff pastry dough is drizzled with olive oil, and then topped with mozzarella cheese, fresh arugula, salty prosciutto and some shaved Parmesan cheese.

Now that I’ve kinda-sorta gotten off track of what I’m sharing today, allow me to introduce this Arugula and Prosciutto Puff Pastry Pizza. While it’s not the traditional kind, made from regular pizza dough and topped with a marinara sauce, it is delicious none-the-less!

Prosciutto is one of those special meats that I hardly ever have, but when I do, I quickly vow to eat it more often. The salty taste has me coming back for more, and I love using it on salads, as part of an appetizer, or in this case, pizza!

And arugula…I know it’s one of those greens that you probably love or hate, and for me, I sure love it. It’s gives salads a bit of a kick and is a nice change from the plain leaf lettuce. If you’ve had arugula and prosciutto before, then you know what a winning combination it is. But, add it to a golden, flaky puff pastry crust that’s oozing with mozzarella cheese, and then topped with shaved Parmesan? Man, oh man, is that gooood. A match made in puff pastry heaven, if you ask me!

What makes this Arugula and Prosciutto Puff Pastry Pizza so special is the unique crust, the tasty toppings, and the fact that this pizza is ready in just 20 minutes. You can’t get much better than that for pizza nights, right?

So, grab those ingredients and make tonight pizza night! With this Arugula and Prosciutto Puff Pastry Pizza, you’ll love the ease of preparing it, and the delicious taste. Flaky, crunch, salty and savory, this simple pizza has it all!
