Spinach, often a chosen ingredient as a pizza topping, is high in folate. This vitamin promotes blood circulation in your brain. Pineapple, spinach, and the milk found in cheese are all serotonin boosters, which means that pizza can help you be healthy and happy.
Preheat oven to 500° (keep pizza stone or baking sheet in oven as it preheats). Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sliced garlic in a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat 1 1/2 minutes or until the garlic begins to sizzle. Add 6 cups spinach; sauté 2 minutes or until spinach wilts.
Meat Pizza Toppings
- Sausage, caramelized onions, and fennel.
- Pepperoni, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onion.
- Pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion, and mushroom.
- BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, scallions, and cheddar cheese.
- Thousand Island dressing, topped with sauerkraut, corned beef or pastrami, and Swiss cheese.
Preheat the oven to 475°F for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a pizza pan or a thick baking sheet; you need something that will not warp at high temperatures.
In case you aren't familiar with the term, white pizza (pizza bianca in Italian) refers to pizza that contains no sauce, just a slathering of cheese with other toppings.

Add the veggies raw as the pizza goes into the oven. Otherwise, saute the vegetables first. Other flavorful options: spinach, green peppers, mushrooms and olives. Best yet, veggie pizza is a sneaky way for kids to eat their veggies.
One of the best toppings for a pizza is egg, just don't put it on at the start. Let the pizza cook for about 12 minutes then crack the egg on top and place back in for another 6-8 minutes. This should leave the egg runny, but if you don't want it like this then just leave for a little longer.
Add Some Meat
Many frozen pizzas come already topped with meat, but whatever you put on it yourself will likely be fresher and of a higher quality. We like to add crumbled thick-cut bacon, small cubes of ham, thick slices of spicy pepperoni, or sweet or spicy Italian sausage crumbles to the pizza."Fresh garlic on pizza can make a huge flavor difference; thinly slice fresh garlic and lay them on top of the pizza before it's put in the oven.

Chopped up fresh basil or jalapeños are very tasty too. We also love spicy honey and crushed red pepper chili flakes to elevate any plain or pepperoni slice; you can also make a chili-infused olive oil as a drizzle or dipping sauce for the leftover crusts."

1. Meats. Pizzas usually don't take very long to bake, and the bake time is really to crisp the dough and melt the cheese. Raw meats — like sausage, chicken, or bacon — usually won't cook through in the short baking time, so they should be precooked.
You put the ground beef on the pizza raw because it will cook in the oven (remember everything else is raw and it will also cook). All you have to do with the beef is make little, tiny pieces and try not to let them touch each other. Ground beef is very good on pizza.
It's absolutely essential to pre-bake the dough for 5-6 minutes before adding your toppings. Once you've added Pizza Sauce and all your toppings, return it to the oven to finish baking! This will result in a crust that holds on it's own and is crispy on the outside, and soft and airy on the inside.
Cut raw broccoli into small pieces, toss them gently with olive oil and add them on top of the other ingredients. As the pizza cooks, the broccoli will become caramelized and sweet. The edges will brown and become slightly crisp, offering only a hint of broccoli flavor, with no sogginess.
9 Bake pizza: Bake pizza in the 475°F (245°C) oven, one at a time, until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes. If you want, toward the end of the cooking time you can sprinkle on a little more cheese.
