Tour of Pizzas

This weekend I had a LOT of friends over to eat homemade pizzas. The recipe for the pizza crust is already posted in my blog, but I thought I'd share the toppings combinations I used. I'd promised my guests a tour of the different styles of European pizza and while researching these styles, I learned that I don't want to eat Dutch pizza. Ever.

However, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and even Turkey have some pretty tasty pies. Make yourself some of my delicious crusts and then top them like this:
