Does anyone remember Pizzaland? It arrived in the UK in 1970 and was original and different. It started in London spread to the Northeast and eventually had 140 branches. I remember the excitement of two slices of cheese and tomato pizza with coleslaw and a jacket potato.
Pizzaland was eventually taken over by the ever popular Pizza Hut.
We love home made pizza, funnily enough always with coleslaw but not the synthetic 1970s version.
Take a pizza tray and add the dough base (I make mine in a the bread maker)
Spread with one tbs of tomato puree and a little grated parmesan cheese
Add thinly sliced red onion, peppers and halved cherry tomatoes
Scatter over sliced salami and cubed panchetta
Cover with plenty of grated mature cheddar
Make a small well in the centre and add two raw eggs
Cover with a light grating of parmesan cheese
Cook for 16 - 18 minutes at 220 degrees
The addition of eggs were a discovery at Pizza Express another good chain (love their buildings) and are now always included in my home version
Serve the pizza with coleslaw, grate white cabbage and carrot, add finely chopped red onion and mayonnaise, season to taste
At the Blue Water Good Food Show in March I bought these great peelers made by Kisag a Swiss Company they are perfect for quick coleslaw.
See Kisag trio peeler set at £12.95
