"Pizza, the concept, is also a perfect palette for Meat Lite concoctions. It might be called a pepperoni pie, but those spicy discs share the stage with the other pivotal toppings. A few slices of salami make this Meat Lite Antipasto Pizza just meaty enough under peppery arugula and other veggies. Mushrooms carry the bulk of the meat texture with a few crumbles of sausage on this Mushroom, Sausage, Goat Cheese and Chive Grilled Pizza. And my coauthor, Joy Manning, and I couldn't close the recipe index in our book without including a pizza; our Almost Meatless version is Chicken Pizza with Arugula Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes. I suppose I'm mostly a purist when it comes to classic pizza as any formal definition describes it, which puts me on defense in the face of newfangled pizza inventions. I scoffed at a potato pizza the first time I heard of one, but then I tasted it and it sort of shut me up a little. So, Grande, you make your naan pizza and I'll save you a piece of this Potato and Sausage Pizza with Shallots and Fontina, and we'll call it a truce over a few slices in South Philly."
