Still playing around with homemade Pizza. Think I found my new all time favorite.

| Utica Greens w/Ricotta and Hot Capicola Ham |
Utica Greens are a local dish made with Escarole, meat, Hot Cherry Peppers, Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. When I list meat as an ingredient it is because different places use different meats. Some use prosciutto, some use pepperoni, others use ham ect. You get the gest.
I have been a big fan of Utica Greens and often order them for my meal rather than an appetizer. Sometimes, I place an order to go so that I can use them in a recipe the next day. My experimentation with greens has let me to placing Utica Greens, a meat, and mozzarella inside a pizza dough and making a Utica Greens Roll (like a sausage roll). Sometimes, I use them to stuff a chicken breast before baking it. Or I top a baked chicken cutlet with greens and mozzarella and melt it in the oven.
Today it led me to a nice crispy Utica Greens Pizza. It was awesome if I do say so myself. I will definitely be making this again, again and again. I really liked how the Hot Capicola got crispy on the top of the pizza and the spice from the greens and Hot Capicola was a nice heat.
It is just my husband and I at home, so I tend to just get an extra order for takeout. If you do not live near Utica and want to make this you can google a recipe for Utica Greens. There are recipes all over the world wide web.
