So there's this famous pizza place here in Austin that I've been known to frequent lately because of their quirky and awesomely amazing off-the-wall flavor combinations. One of my favorite pizzas there is called the Brazos, which is actually the name of a town and a river here in Texas.

The Brazos pizza is a fantastically contrived crossbreed of Italian and Spanish. It's got the Italian meats and cheeses along with the peppers and heat of what we all know and love here as Tex-Mex.

My only problem with this local pizza place is the cost. Oh. My. Goodness. You want how much for a pizza? Yikes! That's the price of luxury and gourmet though. The good news is that you can have gourmet at home for a faction of that, and have complete and utter control over what's going into your pizza-pie...
