"uncooked" pizza

[TinaBina]

I was wondering if you have ever had a pizza prepared the following way:

-thin crust dough cooked with a drizzle of olive oil
-fresh spinach sprinkled on top of the cooked dough
-shaved parmasan cheese
-thin slices of proscuitto.

It is not cooked - it's like a spinach and proscuitto salad plopped on top of plain dough. And yes, it falls off, leaving you with just flatbread.

I am not familiar with it so it was quite a surprise when they served it to me at a new restaurant I tried this weekend (it wasn't described properly on the menu at all!).

It was a flop, and I had them remove it from the bill. (It was $12.00 for 8"!)

The description should've said salad on a pizza.

Perhaps I am too bourgeois.

Sounds like that "pizza" belongs in the Boring Thread.

yah!!

It would have been better warm... or maybe with arugula and more olive oil...

According to danzinger on yayhooray.com it is an authentic style of pizza... so I was misled by the inaccurate description on the menu.

I'd love to find a link online so I can prove to hubby that the chef wasn't smokin crack.

Or at least at a lower PRICE!! heh heh

On the very other end of the spectrum, I used to cook/waitress at a roadhouse-type restaurant, and we made a BLT pizza. Bacon, tomato, cheese, etc. were cooked on the pizza, but before serving we would throw a generous handful of shredded iceberg lettuce on top. It was definitely very lowbrow... but good in its own way. Contrast of hot and cool, gooey vs. crisp, all that stuff.

It would've been absolutely delicious, had they cooked it properly! Sounds like they didn't let the dough rise first or prebake it at all. And you have to sprinkle the olive oil over the spinach/prosciutto mix, not under.

Amateurs.
