So you are a DAV. Well I say THANK YOU. Even though I know many of these "wars" or whatever word they want are unust, you put you (_|_) on the line for your country. Our country.

I hope it is not that bad. My Father had a stroke, it was bad enough not to work but not that bad. He was numb in one arm and hand, this is not acceptable for his job as a job shop machinist. That is about when he started getting into cooking.

That does look like a good and different pizza, technicall not American traditional, but it looks good. The pepper I bet are good in it, and I see it is a bit different, looks like the cheese is not melted, is it not ? You set me to the dictionary (google) to find out what sopresatta is, and it looks like it would be good in there. They said it is dry, is it like prosciutto ? (and expensive ?)

So 8 cloves of garlic ? You da Man !

On the sauce I would recommend a canned sauce instead of paste. As long as it doesn't have sugar.

In my book, the old book though, there was more basil for pizza sauce, less oregano. But that is dated.

Of course I am not going to make that exact pizza, but one of these days I want to try some of the ideas.

And I bet just having it the way you make it is fine, but to each his own.
