Adam's Anti-Mom Pizza

Tonight, mom decided it would be a good idea for me (Adam) and Brianna to make our own pizzas. I'm trying to figure out if that's because she wants us to be creative, or simply because she's too lazy to make us food. For that reason, I call this pizza The Anti-Mom. Since we were young, she always tried to instill responsible eating habits in us and push us towards healthier food. So naturally, when she gave me the opportunity to put whatever I wanted on a pizza, I took the reigns and ran. She gave me and Brianna 20 dollars and sent us off to the store to buy whatever we wanted. Being a college student, I decided I had to create a pizza that would make any freshman's mouth water at 3 am on a Friday. At the store, I bought pre-cooked cold buffalo wings (about 4 dollars), and buffalo wing sauce (2 dollars), and pepperoni from the deli.

I started by cutting the buffalo wings on a bias, which would make the strips longer instead of bulkier. This way it's not as bulky on top of the pizza. I laid the foundation of tomato sauce (seasoned with mom's finest-see Bri's post), then put the buffalo wings and pepperoni on first. This way, when I put the cheese on the toppings, the toppings won't slide off of the top. Finally, I took the buffalo sauce and drizzled it over the cheese, giving it a subtle hint of heat when it's cooked. After writing all of this, I'm realizing what I missed by not having an oven in my dorm room.
