Author Notes
This pizza is light and crispy, sweet and salty and hits the spot every time!! I like to use a store bought dough from the deli section of the market. They are cheap, quick and easy. I am lucky that my local market stocks Portland Pie Company Shipyard Beer Pizza Dough. Its awesome!!!! It gets a great crisp even in the oven it taste wood fired. Anchovies are not the easiest sell but once you taste them melted into the garlic and sweet tomato hidden under all that cheese you will be hooked!! Something about a pinch of smoked sea salt really makes this pizza simple but over the top with flavor. —Danielle
