Chicken, Pineapple, Pepperoni~Semi Homemade Pizza

I never met a pizza I didn't like!
Honestly, I don't know what can be done to ruin a pizza. 
I can't tell you how many times I have grabbed a pizza while on the run from the kids softball, baseball, piano, etc....you get the picture .
but....
It's hard to beat pizza straight out of the oven 
and 
It's not a chore do make, It's fun!
Crust courtesy of the dough boy  himself.
I simply followed the direction except for seasoning the crust before putting it in the oven. You can season it how you like and as heavy as you like. I put the garlic, pepper, parsley, and Parmesan cheese to it. 

I do not use pizza sauce. Instead, I use a spaghetti sauce that I like.
We never eat one pizza and I like it saucy.

I sauteed onions and mushrooms in a pan to themselves and in another pan I sauteed some of those onions and mushrooms with some canned chunked white chicken and chunked pineapple.
I served up one pepperoni and one chicken & pineapple pizza.

*Note about purchasing pepperoni-check both side counter and dairy/deli section of your grocery store. The price may vary and weight of pepperoni pack.
After I have baked the crust for 5 minute at suggested heat I take my crust and crank the heat in the oven to 425 degree. 
Put your pizza together how you like it
then
Bake it until it's pretty!

You can't go wrong with semi-homemade pizza!
