The only thing I need to try this is the brewski ingredient.
Thanks.

Absolutely. If ya wanna go full tilt Italian, get some cooking wine. That’s the tasty kind you keep filling your glass with while you’re cooking... a necessity in my kitchen.
Also, a mandolin slicer (you can buy a plastic framed one for about $20) is indespensable for creating toppings. Thin sliced onion, pepper, mushroom, tomato, peperoni, linguisa, kielbasa, etc., use it to make julienne of carrot, jicama, salsify...
Use a grater for mozzarella, Romano, Parmigiana, cheddar, pepper jack, etc.
Hand dice some green and black olive, water chestnut, jalapeno, ginger, basil, dill, bacon, ham, garlic, shallot, etc.
Sauce? Make a fresh marinara, or use your stick (or upright) blender on a can of Italian diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste and some oregano and basil, or use a bottle of prepared red spaghetti sauce, or some bottled Alfredo, maybe you’ve got some leftover sauce, or even just a swab of olive oil.
Hey - butter, bacon, scrambled eggs and cheddar will work.
Get the kids involved! For what you’d pay Dominoes or Pizza Hut for one pizza, you can make a custom pizza for each individual’s preference, and it’s a great activity for dinner, or a party. Vey cool.
