Pizza is haunting me.

So this girl at work today decides that she needs to have pizza for lunch, so she heads off to Famous Pizza. Great little New York style slice joint at Broadway and Bayaud in Denver that I used to eat at when I was in high school. My brain got hungry so I decide I should eat lunch.

Then, I walk down the hall to go warm up my lunch and the training that is taking place in the building ordered pizza for their group from Cosmo's. Also on Broadway, but in Boulder across campus from CU-Boulder, they now have a location on Grant and 6th next to Yogurtland. 

So there I am with these bastards bringing up pizza and making me smell pizza all around. And soon enough I was dieing to have a pizza. Uggh! 

Then I mentioned it to the husband, and so then he had it in his head that we were going to have pizza for dinner. But he didn't want the same pizza company that I wanted. So my mind started going through all the ways that we could compromise on pizza and I came up with this little baby: A few weeks ago I bought some flat bread wrap things from Costco because they looked like a healthy alternative to sliced bread. One of the things advertised on the packaging for this product is that it makes amazing pizza on THE GRILL! 
Then I started going through a checklist in my head of what we would need to make some
 grilled pizzas. I started finding things in my fridge memory. We had mozzarella, pepperoni, bell peppers... all the starting of a great pizza. So here you have the final product, bell pepper and pepperoni pizza with fresh tomatoes and basil.


Are you hungry now? Doesn't this just look delicious. The grill makes the flat bread nice and crispy on the edges and leaves little grill marks. And after prep time of about 10 minutes chopping everything up and grilling the peppers (must be done beforehand or they will be raw), it took 4 minutes for these to cook up on the grill. And yes, I own a pizza paddle.
