Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 lb slicing peperoni (sliced at the deli)
1/4 lb mortadella
1/4 lb capicola or hot ham
1/4 lb genoa salami
1/4 lb prosciutto
4 hard boiled eggs
1/2 lb provolone (sharp or mild to your preference)
1 lb mozzarella cheese, fresh or regular or basket cheese if available
10 eggs, beaten
2 pkg pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
THIS MAKES TWO PIES

Steps:

  • 1. place your pie crust in the bottom of a round deep dish pie plate. This recipe makes two pies.Begin to layer meats in this way:Pepperoni slices,a bit of beaten egg,mortadella,1/4 of the mozzarella as there will be two layers of this per pie,capicola, a bit of beaten eggs, provolone,sliced hard boiled eggs,prosciutto,a bit of beaten eggs,1/4 of the mozzarella, genoa salami and the rest of beaten eggs.Press down gently on the top layer to disperse the beaten eggs.Top with additional pie crust.Vent top crust with a knife by make a symbolic cross on each.
  • 2. Brush with a beaten egg white to help crust shine.Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
  • 3. NOTE: You can substitute any other deli meat or cheese you prefer. Basket cheese was the cheese my grandmother used but not always available except for easter time.I have also made this with pizza dough as the crust instead of pie crust and used a pam sprayed springform pan.If you count the crust,there are twelve layers to this pie. God Bless!

This pizza was a disaster! The crust was undercooked, the sauce was bland, and the toppings were all wrong. I will never be ordering this pizza again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizza turned out terrible. The crust was burnt, the sauce was bland, and the toppings were soggy. I will not be making this again.
