As I write this I realize that this is only the second pizza I have blogged about. I’m not quite sure since I make pizza a lot but I guess I just forget to take pictures. I also realized that it stars goat cheese…again. The first pizza I wrote about also featured goat cheese. I think I might have a slight obsession with this delicious cheese. Every time I see it in the store I debate on whether or not I should buy some. Which to be honest is weird for me. I actually don’t like cheese that much. That’s right. I said it. I don’t like cheese (that much). Don’t get me wrong. I love cheesy foods and what not, but when it comes to actually eating cheese…I’m not a fan. I refuse to eat cheese on sandwiches (except cheeseburgers) and I’m pretty picky about what cheeses I enjoy. I do not like sharp cheese…yuck! Smoked cheese makes me want to gag, and don’t even get me started on blue cheese. BUT when it comes to goat cheese I cannot get enough of the stuff. Crumbled on salad, I’m down. Breaded and fried, oh yeah. Spread on top of crackers, delicious. On pizza, my most favorite way, and this pizza did not let me down. The goat cheese added a nice depth of flavor that paired well with spinach, mushrooms and red onions. Another great thing about this pizza is that since it’s made at home you can put any topping on it you choose. I made this same pizza last week but put red bell pepper on the pizza too. I made it again because I didn’t want my leftover toppings to go to waste. This time I was sure to take some pictures so I could share it with all of you 
I apologize for the picture quality though. I took the pictures late last night and had to use the flash. Enjoy!!!
Spinach, Mushroom, Red Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza:
1 16oz. bag fresh pizza dough
1/2 C. red onion – chopped
1/2 C. baby portabello mushrooms – sliced
3 C. baby spinach
4 oz. goat cheese
1 C. mozzarella cheese – grated
Kosher salt
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Let dough set out until room temperature. Put a little corn meal on sheet pan and spread dough out by hand. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top of dough and evenly spread over dough. Top with mozzarella, spinach, mushrooms and onions. Crumble goat cheese on top and then lightly drizzle with more olive oil. If desired sprinkle small amount of kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper on top.
Bake in middle of the oven for 15 minutes until crust is cooked.
* This pizza will look piled high because of the fresh spinach but it will cook down.
Recently I was awarded the Sugar Doll Award from my great friend Faith of An Edible Mosaic. I’m a little embarrassed but I totally forget to blog about it. Sorry Faith! Although I’m pretty sure she will forgive me because she is awesome like that
I’m supposed to share 10 interesting things about myself. I don’t know what to tell you about myself that you might find interesting, but here are 10 things, interesting or otherwise:
1. I’m currently obsessed with the show Glee. I cannot get enough of it
2. I have a debilitating fear of flying yet I have flown all over the world. My last flight was to Hawaii and when I landed safely in New Jersey I vowed to never fly again.
3. I hate wearing jackets. I usually only wear a jacket if the temperature dips below 15 degrees.
4. I truly dislike fish but really wish I liked it. It’s so good for you and I completely miss out on all of it’s health benefits.
5. I want to plan a dinner for all of us NYC/Tri-State area bloggers. How fun would that be!
6. I’m annoyed that Martha Stewart didn’t ask me to go on her blogging show….haha.
7. I love the the Haight-Ashbury sandwich from Serendipity3 in NYC. It’s sliced turkey, tomato, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, Russian dressing, melted muenster (I request for that to be taken off) on raisin pumpernickel bread. Delicious!
8. I got a new laptop for Christmas with a built in camera and I’m obsessed with Skype. It’s so much fun!
9. I waste WAY to many hours playing Cafe World on Facebook. Sometimes I feel like a real restaurant owner…haha ok not really.
10. I love Dove ice cream bars. I don’t care if they are not good for you. They are freaking fantastic….

I love spinach on pizza. It tastes so good. This one is definitely a keeper.
Congrats on the award, too.
Thank you! I am honored! Your pizza sounds fabulous. Mmmm goat cheese…
Too funny – I am known for your number 3 fact – I never wear a jacket! When I walk into my building in the morning, I always get comments from co-workers
I am all over goat cheese pizzas. I especially enjoy grilling the crust and then throwing the toppings on a few minutes before it’s done… mmm
.
Too funny! I’m a cheese lover but absolutely can not STAND goat cheese! It seriously is like the most foul tasting stuff I’ve ever eaten! Still, the pizza looks really really good. Congrats on the award!
This looks AMAZING. And that’s coming from a girl who doesn’t like pizza. I do however love goat cheese. I’m like you, I put it on everything. Definitely need to make this soon!
I always drool over your pizzas…and I completely know what you mean about goat cheese…I could happily live on it! Lol, I’m glad you like your award!
Your fav sammy at Serendipity sounds really delish! My fav is the young chicken sammy…it’s got almonds and it’s served on Irish soda bread (absolutely phenomenal!). Of course it’s even better with a frozen hot chocolate to wash it down. 
This looks so incredible! I love the toppings! I have goat cheese I’ve been saving for something special – and here you are with this. I’ve never had it on pizza. Thanks for passing on the cute award! And for sharing all the tidbits.
This looks fabulous!!
I love the toppings, portabello, spinach 2 cheeses, delicious. The photo has me aching for some!
Hey, I cannot stand fish too. And I do wish that I can eat it somehow. I also feel that I have missed many of most delicious foods
Love your pizza. It makes my mouth watering right now..
Mmm…pizza. Okay, maybe I’d leave out the goat cheese. Don’t laugh, but goats freak me out (something about their eyes) so I won’t eat their cheese unless tricked into it. I love your list! A blogger dinner would be awesome; you should totally plan one even though I probably wouldn’t go
Oh and I heard the Martha Steward blogger show was kind of a let-down, so you didn’t miss out on much! (See http://doughmesstic.blogspot.com/)
The pizza look awesome, great combination of flavors and textures. I do enjoy learning fun facts about you. Thank You for passing the award along, Mimi
Thanks for the award! It’s so sweet of you!
This pizza looks divine. Yum!
Do you like feta cheese?
well hey–thanks for the tag, and thanks for sharing some fun facts about yourself. incidentally, i also hate fish and most cheese (although pepper jack is my weakness) and i think that sandwich you described sounds absolutely incredible!
Ooooh, thank you so much for passing this award on to me daaaaaahling, its an honour *kisses*
. And I totally agree with number 10.
As for the pizza, it looks truly heavenly. All the toppings are favourites of mine, it looks like you made this for me
And OMG, I am so with you on number 6!!! I actually wrote to the show but then they just sent me some computer generated email on how i could get tickets
A fabulous pizza with goat cheese, love it!
Congrats on the award! It was fun reading your 10 fun facts:) I’m going to try and replicate that sandwich! YUM!
I love all the ingredients on your pizza…such a comfort food, especially in this downpour in California:)
damn this pizza kicks british booty (isnt that arse)
Haven’t heard of goat cheese on a pizza, I bet it tastes good.
Thanks for passing the award along to me. You’re too sweet!
Your pizza looks amazing. I haven’t really experimented with goat cheese much in my kitchen, but I think I will have to pick some up. I have had it at restaurants and like it, but I never think to buy it myself!
Congrats on your award. This pizza looks scrumptious – mmm, red onion ….
The pizza looks absolutely delicious!!! Thank you so much for the award…I’m flattered and it was very sweet of you!!!
Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
Congratulations on your awards! It was fun to learn a bit more about you. We are a lot alike. I’m loving Glee, got a new laptop for Christmas and dislike fish. I would really like a slice of that pizza though!
Hi Brandy,
thanks for so frequently visiting and commenting on my site. Your recipes look so delicious, I especially love this pizza (I’m definitely biased towards pizza), but I just might have to try your dulce de leche bars, too. You’re quite busy over here!
all the best,
Yvonne
Greetings,
I tried your pizza, and I added grilled chicken to the topping . It is the best ever pizza I had, so delicious, especially the goat cheese.
Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe.
