Easy pizza

Since I will be camping in a remote area this summer, I am looking for some easy meals if I get a craving. Looking for recommendations for easy pizza - box mix, pre-cooked crusts, whatever your favorite is. I have an oven in my camper, and a portable gas grill.

    You can also make a credible pizza from naan. To the best of my recollection it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can often times be found next to the Boboli. The garlic naan means there is one less ingredient you need to slice/dice.

    This is my go to recipe for the tomato topping and I scaled it back for one:

    Heat a dry skillet until smoking hot. Add about half a TB of olive oil, followed by halved cherry or grape tomatoes ( about 5 lil tomatoes should do you fine; use the rest for salads) and salt and pepper to taste. Saute for about 3-5 minutes until skins are charred and pulp starts to collapse. Take the pan off the heat source and add 1 crushed/smashed garlic clove, 1/4 tsp of hand or can-crushed fennel seeds (optional) plus red pepper flakes to taste into the skillet and mix, crushing the tomatoes with a fork or spoon until chunky.

    Add shredded cheese (your choice) to grilled crust (heat on both sides makes for better melting action) followed by the tomato sauce and maybe some basil if you like it. Place laden crust on a grill with no heat under it or in oven to melt cheese and when the cheese is melted serve. You can always add any other toppings ('shrooms, cooked sausage, etc) you like just into the pan with the tomatoes.

    I'm from "Nu Yawk City" thus have never eaten a Kraft's boxed pizza;).
  • I take corn tortillas, pizza sauce and whatever else I want such as pepperoni, peppers etc. and shredded cheese and a cup of water have everything laid out, in a lightly greased frying pan (with a lid) heat the tortilla on one side, then flip it over put the sauce and other items on, then the cheese, wet fingers and sake the water into the pan and put the lid on asap, the steam will quickly melt the cheese, if not do the steam thing again. I used re- hydrated de-hydrated sauce but the canned sauce will work just as well a couple of these will fill the average person up..
  • I you do the full-size Boboli, it usually comes with the right amount of pizza sauce. It's only the indie size that doesn't.
  • I do not have a freezer, thus the need for something to make and bake. Just me on the trip. Maybe the good old Kraft pizza mix?
  • I get frozen pizza that fits in the freezer, I try to get thin crust as it cooks better in the RV oven..

    I get these from Bj's


    gets me through the weekend


  • Supposedly, MRE pizza is here:

  • I do the Boboli (sp?) individual crusts. Jarred pizza sauce and whatever toppings I desire. Works great in the RV oven and only takes a few minutes. If it's just you traveling, bring along a freezable container for the leftover pizza sauce - it's a lot of sauce in that little jar and if you aren't going to eat pizza every day for a week, you'll want to keep it from going bad.
