Get your pizza! Freshly made in an outdoor pizza oven... can it get any better than that? There was Jerry Vale playing in the background... wine and our very own outdoor pizza oven. Masterpieces were made with mushrooms, truffles, lobster, buffalo chicken, arugula and eggplant with all different cheeses.
We gathered in a little oasis behind Betty's home - the patio, pizza oven, music and garden make a wonderful setting for enjoying a glass of wine with some friends.

Everyone brought their own favorite toppings to create their "dream pizza". We started out the evening with a platter of
grilled eggplant with basil, pine nuts and goat cheese and a
creamy avocado dip. We then started with the "dream pizza" making. Some with fresh dough (compliments of Betty) some with ready made artisan crusts....

| Buffalo Chicken |
The lobster pizza with a corn bechamel sauce was the highlight! However, there were many tasty creations - mushroom, truffles & fontina, the good 'ol margherita, buffalo chicken, grilled eggplant (okay - I cheated using the leftovers from our appetizers- but still yummy!).
There was a full salad pizza with arugula, figs, prosciutto and a drizzle of balsamic ~ a meal in itself. We also made some good old pepperoni ~ how can you resist???
Dessert was a huge scoop of warm bread pudding and an equally large scoop of brownie trifle.
