Maitake Mushroom Pizza



Before going into the oven.

Hot out of the oven!

This amazingly delicious pizza, was inspired by a pizza
I ate at  Gather in Berkeley, CA.
While visiting my son we all lunched at Gather,
and this pizza really appealed to me.
Of Course when it arrived at the table, absolutely beautiful,
I was even more pulled into its appeal, not just by its appearance,
but the flavors were amazing.  I knew I needed to replicate this pizza
at home.
The pizza we ordered was round, like most pizzas are....
however, I love to make big rectangle pizzas, they
feed more people, and are easily turned into pizza
sandwiches, which is what we love to do with leftovers.

If you are a mushroom loving person, I can only say,
you must try this pizza!!!



As Always, 
ENJOY!
