Bella Roma Pizza
"I was going to order in a gourmet pizza but thought twice when I saw the price! So, instead, I took a note of the ingredients from the take-away menu and made it myself. It turned out to be the best pizza we've ever eaten - and I could probably make three for the cost of one from the shop. Please note that quantities below are approximate and can be adjusted to suit your own taste."

- 1 pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce (about 70g or half a small tub)

- 1⁄3 cup green olives, pitted and halved
- 3 -4 artichoke hearts (from a bottle or can)
- 1⁄4 red onion, finely sliced

- 1⁄2 teaspoon rosemary (dried)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder, approximately
directions
- Set oven to 200°C.
- Spoon pizza sauce or tomato paste onto the pizza base and spread evenly - I use the back of a spoon.
- Cut salami slices in half and lay evenly over the pizza.
- Sprinkle fairly lightly with grated cheese, but with enough for a reasonable covering.
- Now scatter over the olives.
- Slice the artichoke hearts fairly thinly, lengthwise, and arrange evenly over pizza.
- Scatter over sliced red onion.
- Scatter another light layer of cheese over the pizza.
- Now scatter over the feta cheese and sprinkle over the dried rosemary and the garlic powder.
- Carefully transfer pizza to a pizza tray or similar and bake on the centre shelf of the preheated 200°C oven for approximately 15 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Above: Slideshow of our garden at Avalon Slideshow of our recent holiday at Woodgate Beach, South-East Queensland, Australia. Hi! I'm Kookaburra, from Australia. First, a promise. I will only post recipes on this site which I've made myself and to which I would personally give a 5 star rating - what you give them is up to you ;-) I look forward to receiving your feedback. If you look at my reviews, they're all 5 stars. That doesn't mean I give 5 stars to every recipe I try. I'm just not interested in giving poor ratings to anyone else's recipe because I accept that different people have different tastes. So, I've decided that I'll only review those recipes which I really love and which I'd make again and recommend to friends. If a recipe meets that criteria - even if it needs a bit of 'tweaking' to match my tastes, I'll give it 5 stars. If not, I'll just delete it from my recipe book and no hard feelings. I'm not advocating this as the 'right' approach. I just decided I needed a consistent strategy for rating and this is mine. I'm passionate about cooking - and eating! What I look for in food is something that 'zings' in the mouth. I like lots of taste - I'm not a big fan of subtlety. I don't often cook recipes exactly as written. I like to experiment and adapt things to my own taste. A retired marketing executive and academic, I live with my elderly (but thoroughly modern) mother in a tiny mountain village at the edge of the rainforest. I'm female, happily single, in my mid-40s and boast the Rubenesque figure of a passionate cook! Avalon, our 'story-book' cottage, overlooks a small lake. As I sit at my computer or work in the kitchen, I'm serenaded by a cacophany of native birds - including a very fat family of kookaburras! We have quite a large property and are lucky to have vegetable gardens and a variety of fruit and nut trees. I look forward to sharing recipes on Recipezaar with family, friends and friends I've yet to meet. last minute flight</p>
