Ingredients:
| 1 | frozen pizza, as cheap as possible |
| shredded mozzarella cheese | |
| toppings | |
| seasonings |
Procedure:
Preheat oven as directed on pizza wrapper. Apply toppings and seasonings to taste. Make sure that the toppings the should end up crispy are exposed on top, while the soft ones can be covered. Intersperse cheese between layers to ensure cohesion. Cook somewhat longer than instructed. If you prefer a crispy crust cook directly on the oven racks (the cheese will drip and make a mess, possibly setting off your fire alarm); if you're still recovering from gum surgery use a tray to keep the crust soggy. Serves 2-3.

Admittedly, the exciting part of this isn't in the recipe. It's exciting because you can really put whatever you want on a pizza. In this case I started with a frozen pizza already topped and threw on whatever I had around. In general I prefer to start with a cheese pizza so I don't have to worry about antisynergy with the default ingredients.

Onions pretty much go onto all of my pizzas, along with red pepper and basil. This one also included pepperoni and pineapple. Other good additions are tomato slices, bell peppers, asparagus, and minced garlic. Really it's up to you. You could even throw a fried egg on there if you were so inclined.
Seriously, though, make sure you cook the egg beforehand. It'll get a little burnt around the edges and curl up, looking ugly. But if you crack a raw egg onto your pizza it will take too long to cook. You'll end up with a rubbery egg and an incinerated pizza. The ideal technique has not yet been determined.
My favorite combination so far has been sliced tomato, fresh basil, onion, and pineapple. I'm hankering to try something with slices of pear, though.
