I was thinking seafood - I had a great seafood pizza once, but I can't remember what was on it - marinated anchovies, tuna, green olives...

Any suggestions?|||I was going to suggest seafood but you have beaten me to it. Why not try garlic mushrooms with some herbs. Delicious.

Do you know, I find it is virtually impossible to buy seafood pizza in UK.

I have to either make my own or go to Carrefour in France!! LOL|||Sauce:
-1 16 oz. can tomato sauce
-1/4 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-1/2 cup flour of choice (thickener)
-1 tbsp. salt
-spices you like.

Toppings:
-Any fresh veggies you desire, chopped, diced, etc. This part is really up to you.
-Optional roasted bulbs of garlic, taken out of the shell and mixed in with your veggies.*
-extra virgin olive oil
-salt and spices you like
-meat, if you eat it - I am not a vegetarian myself but I prefer this pizza to be veggie-only.

*A couple bulbs of roasted garlic makes this really special. Just take two whole bulbs of garlic, and cut just the top part off the bulb. Put it on a sheet of foil and pour olive oil right into the center of the bulbs. Wrap the foil over the bulbs loosely and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Let them cool and rest, and you should have some lovely, carmelized garlic to stir in with your pizza veggies.

Crust Ingredients:

-6 cups flour of choice (wheat-free, gluten-free folks can use an alternate flour, such as rice. But be sure to cut it with some xanthan gum to sort of do the same job as gluten would)
-3 cups water
-1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-3 tbsp. balsamic or red wine vinegar
-1 tbsp. salt
-herbs and spices of choice - I use rosemary and crushed red pepper
Method Combine all of the crust ingredients in a large mixing bowl until it becomes firm. Use some of the flour to knead the dough on a cutting board or your countertop until it's no longer sticky. Divide the dough in half - you have enough to make two pizzas. You can be pro and toss the dough, or you can use a rolling pin to make it flat. Get two baking sheets or pizza stones, and brush both with a liberal amount of olive oil. press the dough into flat, roundness on each one, or flat squareness, whatever you want. Heat the crusts in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Take crust out and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Brush a liberal amount of olive oil on the surface of the crusts. Spread sauce onto the crust. Add veggies and spread over the sauce. Cook in a 350 degree oven for 45 - 60 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the crust and how carmelized you want the veggies to be.

Note: The crust for this is dense and crispy - I do not use yeast because I like my crust to be kind of like this. If you don't like it at this consistency, I recommend adding baking powder or yeast to the crust and perhaps using white flour instead of whole wheat.|||Here in Italy, they do a Tuna pizza with tomato base sauce and thin sliced onion, really good.
Then there's the tomato base sauce, anchovies,artichokes and olives and finished with chopped fresh tomato.
And finally, tomato base sauce and topped with seafood salad and just before serving a topping of rocket salad leaves.|||The best cheese-less pizza I ever had was in a little hole in the wall place in my home state. It didn't have tomato on it either...and it was grand!
They mixed equal amounts of olive oil and butter to spread on the top and sprinkled it with sauteed garlic. Then black olives, fresh baby spinach, very thin slices of red pepper, and shredded crab meat.

I've made it using alfredo sauce with shrimp and garlic....olive oil, shredded carrot, baby spinach, sliced roma tomato, olives and italian sausage....and my dad once made on with shredded crab and lobster claw, baby scallops and escarole.
If it were me making it today, I'd try a spin on sweet and sour and use pineapple (crushed), thin red peppers and baby shrimp with olive oil and butter for the sauce.|||Does cheeseless include cream cheese? It would be so tsty to put cream cheese all over it and add some crab meat.

Ok, how about oil, tuna, anchovies, onion, green peppers, black olives, and red peppers.|||I once had a pizza in Italy that was thickly covered in neat rows of caramelized onions on a tomato base, no cheese at all, and studded with black olives. It was just gorgeous - highly recommended!|||Try parma ham, rocket, chilli, garlic, tomatos and olives!|||owww kernell corn is also great for pizza toppings and ummm yah even without cheese will work! yum yum! happy eating!|||Smoked Oysters, fresh Basil, pickled vegetables.|||Brie, Cheddar or mozarella|||not possible in my opinion, to have a pizza without cheese|||Porridge.|||Ah, the cheese-less pizza....kind of like a Nerf vibrator yeah? Looks great, but....|||How can i with a name like mine.|||Try cheese|||sorry cant help veggies here
