Basically, if it's cooked meat, it can be on the pizza. Beef crumbles can be bought already prepared, or made ahead of time from fresh fried turkey or beef burger. Use chunk chicken, or a cooked, left over, chopped chicken breast. Other meats, such as beef mini sausages, Italian sausage, pork sausage, chicken sausage, steak, ham, ribs, pork chops, and even chopped roast can be used. Some prepared meats may be over spiced, use with caution. Seafood pizza has to be made carefully, and will not be covered in this cookbook. No two pizzas ever have to be the same.
