New. I just got back to running the lunch buffet at my place. I always liked trying to come up with a different pizza each week and seeing how well they did. This week I’m doing a chicken and basil pesto pizza with mushrooms and onions. So far it seems to be doing pretty well. I’m encouraged by the slices dissapearing and not much of the scraps coming back include that pizza.
Sound off with some unusual sauces you’ve used for your pizzas lately.

Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
Sweet and Sour BBQ sauce
Bold BBQ sauce
Italian salad dressing
Ranch salad dressing
Seafood sauce
Horse Radish
Any combination of the above that pleases the taste buds.
Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
What have you done with the Italian dressing?
Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
you can make a really interesting pizza sauce base with equal parts mild wing sauce (or hot or medium) and Ranch Dressing. Strange . . . I strongly dislike ranch, but this sauce is intriguing base for some tex-mex inspired pies.
Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
I call it a Mediterranean Chicken. I use Italian dressing rather than pizza sauce then add chicken breast strips, green peppers, diced tomato, olives, onions, feta and mozza cheese. It has a sharp taste but very pleasing.

La Nova’s Honey Mustard Sauce, chicken and ham. It is great, more people just need to try it.

I never finished this. We make a 'Fajita Pizza" using this sauce base, grilled chicken, peppers, onions, and mozz/prov. You could use another cheese for variety, if you wanted. Sliced tomato would go well on this also.

Our Lemon/Pepper/Chicken Pizza has just taken over as our most popular “Specialty” pizza! I am really surprised. It was just something that I played around with because whenever I make lemon/pepper chicken with rice at home all the kids are home for dinner. Granted, we are from a small town, but our customers are loving it. With the parsley and lemon slices it makes a nice presentation…

Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
try this one out it’s been a great seller fot us recently:
chicken cordon bleu pizza: we start with a basic alfredo sauce, mozzarella, diced chicken tenders, diced ham (smoked works best) and top it with some swiss
we have been running it for lunch and sell out each time
Re: Special pizzas, Crew Pies, I’m bored and want something.
What are you using for shrimp? Salad shrimp, precooked, raw 35-40’s? Coulod you also share your food cost and pricing on the 14" or 16" version? I am very interested in this as a special feature, and want to get a feel for the big picture of it.
Thank you for anything you’re willing to share.
