This has become my standard "I am too lazy to cook" meal. I love how the cornmeal gives the crust a nice nutty crunch. This recipe is so flexible! I have used pepperoni, sausage, hamburger..I even once used SteakUms from the freezer section with onions, mushrooms and peppers for a Philly Cheesteak Pizza!! WOW!
