Philly Gourmet Pizza

Ingredients:

• Prepared pizza crust (New York dough recipe)

• Alfredo sauce with fresh chopped garlic

• Provolone and mozzarella cheese blend

• Shaved Philly steak

• Caramelized onions

• Roasted red peppers

• Portabella mushrooms

• Grated Romano cheese

• Dried oregano

• Fresh basil from Italy-based G.S. Gelato. Rocco expects it to be a great addition for the expected walk-in crowd, he says.

Cook shaved Philly steak and caramelize onions. Roast red peppers, peel skins and slice strips. Clean portabella caps and slice thin. Grate provolone and mozzarella. Ladle Alfredo sauce onto pizza crust, then spread cheese blend over the sauce.

Place toppings on crust in this order: Philly steak, portabella mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers. Sprinkle with Romano and oregano.

Bake in a 525-degree oven on a pizza stone for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for one minute, cut pizza and garnish with fresh basil.

“(G.S. Gelato is) just a tremendous, very upscale, very good and highly recognized gelato in a lot of markets,” he says. “It’s just not very common to this market.”

Pizza Plus has gained renown beyond the Ohio state line, taking top honors for the Eastern Division and third place overall in the 2011 International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas.
