Crust!!
We do the same,,sorta!!
When we lived in Philly I remember that the best pizza ever was a "White Clam Pizza"
So I make my own,
Bobali crust
Fresh block of Parmesan cheese
Garlic
salt and pepper
can of clams (drained)
garlic Alfredo sauce
Italian spices
I make the pie,brush on some virgin olive oil, sprinkle some spices and what ever and throw it in the oven until the edges just start to lightly brown
pull it out and sprinkle the cheese on some garlic sprinkle and return to the oven just until the cheese starts to melt
take it back out,, swirl the Alfredo sauce on and spread a can of clams on top!
return and cook until the edges are a nice golden brown!!
Not an exact science, but for a time reference, this is usually a three beer job!!
EDIT: Opps,, wife pointed out I forgot about the other cheeses,,I use cheddar (mild) and light Mozzarella or Monterrey Jack depending on what I brought!!
Gonna give your clam pie a try and glad you added mild cheddar instead of extra sharp. I wuvvvvvv me some extra sharp but don't think the clams need it :).
If you ever get to CT stop at Pepe's Pizzeria for a white clam pie that will knock your socks off! No sauce, fresh shucked clams and lots of garlic with just the right amt of cheese. They now also have shops in MA and NY but I haven't been to any of them yet. We can't go camping anymore this summer (in the middle of moving) but but I'm thinking about renting a car Labor Day just to drive to New Haven and pigout royally. Be sure to order a bottle of Foxon Park's white birch soda to go with it. Errrrrrrrr their summer tomato pie isn't shabby either.Swoooooooooooonish to the nth.
