It is spring, right?
Because looking out my window now you’d never guess it.
Tuesday was bright, sunny and amazing. Yesterday and today? Not amazing. Just cold and snowy. Eight inches expected by the end of the morning then a little break this afternoon and more tonight and tomorrow. Ahh, the joys of living in a place where it snows till June. And I know I say this pretty much every year come this time, but someone please send me the sun, or better yet a plane ticket to Florida (or anywhere sunny and warm). The worst part is that it’s not gonna stop. Those spring flowers that you people who live below nine thousand feet get? Yeah, we barely get those even in the summer, let alone spring. Which is a total bummer because I love flowers.
Since spring weather is nowhere to be found, I made pizza. Extra (extra) cheesy pizza.
It’s the only way to cope with snow in spring if you ask me. Ok, there are a few ways, but for today we’re just gonna focus on the pizza.
I had some help with this pizza concept from a friend of my moms. This time, not Mrs. Mooney, but Mrs. Kevesdy. Turns out my mom has friends who love to cook, which is interesting since she is really not much of a cook herself…
Also, is it weird that I text with my mom’s friends? Kind of thinking it is, but I spent a decent amount of time with them when we lived in Ohio. Plus, they make GOOD food and I always need ideas. Like always.
This white pizza is heavily inspired by one that Mrs. Kevesdy told me about. Only hers is probably a little less cheese loaded than mine and I added the asparagus because lately, I am putting it with, on, and in, pretty much everything. It is just so good right now.
It’s kind of like the saying, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”, but instead we’re talking about asparagus, and right now its got it going on, so I am cookin it.
Ok, that was weird, but you know what I mean.
But back to the cheese, because pizza is all about the cheese (which is why I could not do a vegan diet). This little round piece of bread has four cheeses going on. Yup, four! You just can’t do a white + veggie loaded pizza without a lot of cheese. It wouldn’t be right.
I threw on some parmesan (classic), mozzarella (so melty), burrata (the best) and feta (addicting). FYI, it’s the perfect combo.
So what’s the spring part to this pizza?
Um, hello? I put a salad on a pizza and it’s so good.
Honestly, I have wanted to try fresh greens on a pizza for forever, so it just seemed like a good time.
All I did was toss some fresh arugula with some sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, feta cheese and a little drizzle of oil + balsamic. It’s the perfect topper to a cheesy pizza and if you are doubting me on that? Don’t.
No really, don’t
Also, there’s balsamic drizzle and if that + all these greens doesn’t scream spring than I do not know what does.
Of course you could always add some ice cream or meringue for dessert. Then it would definitely be a complete spring meal.

Take that Colorado mountain town snow.
Love this combination and everything about this, the drizzle, the salad………
Thanks so much, Cheri!!
Fabulous idea to add a ‘salad’ to the top of a pizza after baking, Tieghan! I might just steal that idea!
Thanks Helen!

This is the most gorgeous pizza ever. It’s making me want pizza for breakfast. I was inspired to put salad on my pizza post today too even if it’s 18 degrees here in Maryland this morning. I’m ready for spring too.
Thanks Bri! Stay warm!
This looks sensational! I love the combination of flavors here. Now I have to make pizza today. Yay!
