Pizza! Pizza! Pizza Thursday!!
Sorry, slap happy at the moment from tiredness. You know when you make a point of going to bed early, but yet waking up is STILL the hardest thing ever? Somehow the end of the day is the worst (what? I got more sleep)?? Yeah, that is my current situation, BUT I do think the extra sleep is allowing me to be a bit more focused, so that’s cool! But really, why is getting out of bed so hard?!
It’s probably my least favorite part of the day. I kind of love my bed.
And since we are on the subject of morningish things, can I tell you guys that I drank an entire cup of black coffee and actually enjoyed it? Cause I did!! I think I just needed to try coffee other than my dads (he drinks it BLACK and well, he buys crummy coffee too), but the point is, I really enjoyed drinking it! YEAH! Here’s the thing though. I know that people say coffee wakes them up and all that, but guys I felt no extra energy boost. Just a little headache and a little shaking from all the caffeine, but energy?
Nah.
What gives?
Whatever, I have pizza to tell you all about today! An extra special, extra easy and yes, DELICIOUS, zucchini and roasted sweet corn provolone phyllo pizza! I feel like it’s always a good day when pizza is involved, you know?
Like I said, this pizza is special. It has a phyllo dough crust and it may just be the best thing ever. My dad liked it one hundred times more than traditional crust and I have to say, I think I’m right there with him. It’s just buttery, flaky and perfect. Plus, it’s so easy to prepare! No rising, no rolling, none of that.
Thank God.
Thursday needs a little bit of easy, don’t cha think?
Along with plenty of cheese, you also get a great way to use up those late summer veggies that some of you may be scratching your head trying to figure out some unique and fun ways to use them all up. When it comes to using up veggies I always say when in doubt, throw them on a pizza with lots of cheese and all will be good with the world. Cheese solves a lot of problems I have learned.
Here’s the deal. The crust could not be simpler. Basically all you do is thaw some phyllo dough, melt some butter (I guess that you can use olive oil if you are, you know, trying to be “good”), lay a couple of pieces of phyllo dough down, brush with butter and repeat the process until you have made a sort of circle, roll-up the sides and done. There’s your crust. You really can’t mess it up, and if it doesn’t end up looking like a perfect circle, who the heck cares?? It’s all going into your mouth anyway, and trust me, that will happen FAST.
Looks really do not matter here.
Once you have that crust all ready to go all you’ll need to do is add some fresh herbs, a pretty hefty amount of provolone cheese (omg so good!), some zucchini, yellow summer squash and corn. Then just put it in the oven and wait. Honestly, the waiting is the hardest part…clearly patience is something I do not have.
Once it’s finally out of the oven just top the pizza with some buratta (yes, more cheese!), fresh basil and a little drizzle of truffle oil, if you are into it (I SO am).
And um, EAAT!!
I say that this serves four, but really, it serves two hungry cheese lovin peeps. Just sayin.
Again though, it’s cool cause all those veggies mean HEALTHY. Come on people, get with it.

Thursday dinner? Looking good.
This looks very delicious. I can’t resist salivating.
Hi! This looks delicious! Always looking for ways to use squash other than slice and grill. Just wondering, your recipe lists a “prepared sheet pan”, did you use parchment paper? I’ve never worked with phyllo dough before and I usually use a pizza stone but wondering if I shouldn’t for this. Thanks!
Hi Mallory! I do like to use a parchment lined baking sheet, but you don’t have too. Hope you love this pizza!!
YUM–truffle oil is like gold !!
I have never used phyllo, did you really mean 30 sheets , I know it’s thin and you need lots of butter or oil between them but wouldn’t it be awful thick in the middle ? It certainly looks delicious!
Hi! Up, I do mean 30, but if you might not end up using all 30 if you think that crust has reached a good thickness. It is REALLY thin dough, so it works out! Hope you love this!
I love this summery pizza! Totally reminds me of one I pick up at the farmers market and I love the phyllo crust!
OMG, I’m drooling!
This looks wonderful! But I have a question, and it may be silly but…is the corn cooked prior to the baking?
I would love to make this and I have a ton of corn to use but I want to make sure I do it right!
Hi Caitlyn! Not silly at all! The corn just gets added to the uncooked pizza raw and then it cooks while the pizza cooks in the oven. Make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions and I hope you love the pizza!!
