Roadhouse Pizza

Wooooo-weeee! It’s almost Friday, y’all! I’m so ready for the weekend!

My family kinda fell off the Friday night pizza night train when we moved to Phoenix …. it’s just too darn hot to be having that oven on! Everyone once in awhile, we (by we, I mean I) drudge through and give into our craving. I wanted something a little bit different for our pizza on this occasion. So I came up with the Roadhouse Pizza – it’s topped with BBQ sauce and a combination of yummy ingredients like ground beef, bacon, jalapenos, tomatoes, onion and cheese! I wasn’t really sure what to call this pizza, but for some reason, the word “roadhouse” stuck out in my mind – so that’s what we’ll call it. Mmm-kay? I have no rhyme nor reason to what I do, what can I say?!

    It has been in the 90s here in NY. I can't image what it is like to live with such intense heat, 100 plus for months.. Well this pizza was worth turning the oven on for.. looks incredible. Thanks for sharing it with us on foodie friday.

    As a Friday Night Pizza Girl myself I can totally relate to the hot oven issue. I recently started cooking them on the BBQ and am finding it works great.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe looking forward to trying it.

    I've been considering doing a pizza challenge. Maybe trying to make 40 different pizzas and tracking my progress, taking pictures, etc. I'm pinning this recipe in case I end up doing it. Looks YUMMY.

    Is it wrong I just read mmmmm-kay like Mr. Garrison from SouthPark? We (and I too, mean I) slack on the pizza nights during the summer. This one looks chock-full of goodies though. Roadhouse works, too…you should look into trademarking that! Roadhouse Pizza ™
