This was fantastically easy to make and was a big hit at the Cowboys/Redskins division championship game I just attended. Only change I made was that I sprinkled Italian seasoning on the sauce, and also used vegan pepperoni (I'm vegetarian). But everyone liked it!

Made this for the super bowl..Cute. Very easy and fun to make. But I agree with the other poster. It had a dough taste that I havent noticed before when using the pizza dough. Next time when I spread the oil on the dough I will add some pressed garlic to the mix.

This is a cute Pie to set out as a centerpiece for a football celebration. We have both NFC & AFC teams, as well as several collegiate teams [Va. Tech., Univ. MD, W. Va. Univ., Georgetown U., & G. W. U.] whose games are followed avidly the entire season. We are all due to tasty treats while supporting our favorites.
