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.

NMDriver: Yes, I do have a 3 way fridge so that works great for boondocking. My last one had an ice box, which worked but was less efficient. I'll be doing 6 days, or more, in northern Maine at Cobscook Bay State Park without any hookups so I am planning ahead. Of course, I should be able to find some lobster, if nothing else! It's a great place, well worth the extra planning.

I just buy a large Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. and freeze 2-3 slices in zip lock bags. I can generally get 4 meals/bags out of a large. Remove the slices and bake to warm up as needed.

You said you did not have a freezer, but they will keep and still be edible for several days in a good cooler.

Thanks for the suggestions. As you can see from the pic in my original post, I have a small trailer with limited space and just do good old fashioned camping without all the amenities of a big rig. I've done some looking around on the net and read reviews, and it looks like I will be getting a pizza crust mix packet from Walmart, a small can of pizza sauce, a small can of parmesan and a little pack of pepperoni from the Dollar Tree. That will give me one pizza for me, and despite not being anywhere near a "real" pizza, it will taste like a million bucks - as everything does when you're camping!

Glad you've found a method that fits your needs. Sweet camper! I know you said it doesn't have a freezer but does it have a fridge?

With it just being you and space limited, you might look at buying individual packets of things like Parmesan, ketchup and so on.

I've bought from www.minimus.biz before and it works well. You can buy as many or as few packets as you want and they are good for a year (salad dressing is good for 3 months). Much easier when even a small bottle of condiments is too much. ๐Ÿ™‚

I've also bought the refigerated "gourmet" parmesan - shredded or shaved. It costs more, but I don't have tons of leftovers that I'll never manage to eat before the expiration date.

And get a pizza stone for the best results. Or an unglazed tile if you want something smaller.

I also use the Naan for a crust. I get frozen ones from Trader Joe's. They come 4 to a pack. They are thinner than the ones in the bread aisle and make a better pizza in my opinion.

I get these from Bj's


gets me through the weekend




Oh that spinach and feta pizza looks really nice. There's a BJ's down the street from my current digs; think it's time to wander through the aisle and see what it's all about.
Thanks!

French bread pizza works at our house. Split an oblong loaf down the middle, bottled sauce and whatever you like on it. If I don't use the whole loaf we have french toast with the other part.

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.
