With my food allergies, when I eat pizza I have to make it from scratch. Luckily, I really love cooking! :D
So you get that special hyper-soft over-ground pizza flour and [spoiler=(insert a bunch of cooking mumbo-jumbo here.)] toss the directions on the packet out the window. Add pizza spices (dried oregano, basil, rosemary), a bit of cajun pepper, a right splash of salt and a generous spoonful of proper olive oil to it. Then head into the garden to find the packet again and see how much water you need. Add about half, knead, add a little more, little more- TOO MUCH!!
Haha kidding, I never add too much 'cuz I'm a good cook ;P Finish up kneading the dough, roll it out on a marble plate your mom found in a thrift store, stab the dough multiple times with a fork so there's a neat pattern in the dough for extra crispyness... then add mozarella (the expensive kind!) to the sides, add salt and roll over to create that crust. Simple spaghetti sauce with herbz, smoked salmon, bit of onion, dash of pesto here and there, bit more mozarella (no salt on top this time bc the salmon's salty enough already), stab the crust and meanwhile drown dad's pizza in as much cheese as you can manage and then pop everything in the oven for 15-20 minutes~[/spoiler]
It's good stuff. Crispy bottom, cheesy crust, tasty dough, salmon for DAYS and goddamnit I'm drooling. And our oven just broke. WHY
I like to switch it around sometimes, pizza funghi, quattro formaggi, sun-dried tomatoes... But it's always up to my tastes, because I get to add and leave out whatever the hell I want~ God, I love being able to cook.

I don't like most pizzas because I hate tomatoes, but I'll eat pizzas with barbeque sauce and anything else.
There's this recipe my mom used to make on particularily hot summer days, pizza with a white sauce. No tomatoes (except maybe fresh ones but most of us didn't bother), and it went great with fresh basil. Real light in taste, but still filling as any pizza is. I can't remember if it was with ricotta or mascarpone... Probably mascarpone? I'll have to ask her though, if you're interested :)
