Use our recipe (or your own) for Roasted Chicken, or substitute your favorite grilled meat. Once you've piled on the basics, make it original with your own favorite add-ons: more cheese, roasted vegetables, etc. Ready-to-bake pizza crusts can be found usually in the bread or freezer aisle of your local supermarket or deli. Keep some on hand in your freezer for "emergency nights."
