I’ve gotta tell you, I’ve been looking forward to this meal all weekend long. There’s just something about homemade pizza that is so comforting to me, probably because it reminds me of all the weekends when my mother would whip out some Pillsbury crust, throw some toppings atop the cheese, and put the pizza in the oven, pulling it back out only when the cheese was bubbly and the crust was golden brown. That’s what I strive for with my own pizza, and I think today’s concoction fit the bill!
We topped our crust with Ragu sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Lightlife vegetarian pepperoni, and I must say, it was fantastic! We also have enough left over for LeeLee to take for lunch tomorrow, which is always a bonus.
The stats:
Pizza crust: $3.19
Tomato sauce: $1.89
Mozzarella cheese: $2.50
Vegetarian pepperoni: $4.29
Butter lettuce: $3.49 ($0.89 per person)
Cherry tomatoes: $2.49/package ($0.62 per person)
Garbanzo beans: $0.89 ($0.45 per person)
Croutons: $1.50 ($0.30 per person)
GRAND TOTAL: $20.24 … or $8.24 per person. (And, given our leftovers, this per-person total actually goes down a little bit!)
