LoriInIndiana's Note:

I cut this one out of the local paper a long while back. It is a fun change of pace kind of thing that I like to make. All the boys at my house like it and I hope you will too!

I used my favorite pizza dough recipe and added mozzarella cheese before baking. After it came out of the oven I added the bleu cheese and the celery. We really enjoyed this pizza a lot and will make again. Thank you for sharing you recipe!!! — May 17, 2006

My kids didn't like this, but I'm giving it 5 stars because my husband and I ate the whole thing and probably could have had more! I followed the directions, with the exception of omitting the bleu cheese and using shredded cheddar. I also used a Boboli thin crust and served ranch dressing on the side. We will definitely be having this again. Thanks for sharing!
