Pizza is one of those crazy foods that you can really push the culinary boundary with. Take this balsamic-soaked cherries, goat cheese, onions, and walnuts pizza here. Absolutely freaking delicious. Previously, I've had pears on my pizza. Again, absolutely freaking delicious.

I've tried to make a few more ambitious creations myself, but they usually involve adding a little goat cheese, or some olives. Nothing ground breaking. But had you asked me at this time last year if I'd be making pizza from scratch (okay, canned tomatoes are involved) on a regular basis, I'd have called you crazy. In fact, you are crazy. Or maybe I'm crazy. But this is good pizza. If you live near Arlington, and haven't been to Za, then you're crazy too.

I'd love to have a pizza making party at some point (as Danielle helpfully suggested), but I just can't figure out the logistics. I've only got 1 pizza stone, and I am lacking in the peel department. This means that its a little difficult to make the pizzas ahead of time. The longer the pizza is sitting on the baking sheet, the harder it is to get off (it soaks up the corn meal), which can lead to some pizza disasters on the floor of my oven. Not the kind of thing you want to clean up at 500°.
