Mamma Mia it's Sonia's Pizza!

Matt has a lot more free time at work than I do. (Yes I'm jealous) So he often comes home with a lot of random information on various subject or new ideas he wants to pursue.
This past week he stumbled upon wood-fired brick ovens in his spare time and after a few days of researching nothing but this, he decided that this would be his first project as soon as we get a house next year.

In preparation for this backyard pizza oven we will one day be having, Matt decided we needed to start trying out new pizza recipes so that we could master one that we could cook in this oven one day.

It seemed like fate when we opened up my friend Sonia's blog "La Dolce Vita" and saw her "New and Improved Pizza Recipe".
Matt wanted to document this experience, so below are our pictures.

A perfectly rolled crust!

Matt insisted he make this face for a picture, lol. Okay, so I know Sonia is thinking, uh that does not look like my pizza, and everyone else is probably thinking, that looks sick. BUT, you've got to take into consideration my husbands love for cheese and olives and my allergy for cheese.

One half is mine: sauce and fresh tomatoes only.

The other half is Matt's: fresh mozzarella (which really does make all the difference) and some special olives he got at the deli.

MMM!

Matt said this was the best pizza he had ever had!
