After trying pineapple pizza with a Little bit of chopped spinach, i realized what i Really wanted, was SPINACH pizza, with a sweetened sauce. So, my most delicious, PIZZA with SPINACH! pizza:
1 Pizza Dough (NY style) from Market Basket
appx 1/3 cup Pizza Sauce (Mkt Bskt store brand) with some Sweetener added.
Appx 1 tbsp prepared TVP – mixed in to the Pizza Sauce.
Small amount of ricotta – maybe 2 or 3 tbsp? or less.
Shredded mozzarella. No measurements, just keep adding it!
3 kalamata olives. Chopped up into tiny bits.
One almost-full bag of pre-washed Savoy Spinach. Chopped into appx 1/4 to 1/8 inch pieces.
To assemble the pizza:
* Spread out your dough in the pan.
* Start oven preheating
* Sprinkle a Small amount mozza directly onto the dough. This keeps the sauce from making the toppings slide around.
* Spread sauce onto the pizza.
* Now go around the pizza and add LITTLE blobs of ricotta. About Half-Tsp or Less.
* Your nicely-chopped spinach should be in a Really Large bowl. Mix a very generous handful of cheese in with the spinach. Then carefully put this all onto your pizza. Do Not de-blob your ricotta blobs.
* Also, Do NOT mound it up in the middle. You should always leave your pizza-Middle scantily-clad, to avoid undercooked middles, or topping-loss from your pizza slice-tips!!
* Okay, almost there. Now take a bunch more of the mozzarella (or better yet, a mozza-provolone blend)! Carefully pile it all on top.
Pop it in the oven and cook till it’s done!!
*Finally (if you’re me), before eating lightly-sprinkle with some oregano powder & black pepper.*

My family owned a pizza shop for > 30 years, and the spinach pie they created was one of the favorites. This being tasty is not surprising, glad you enjoyed it! You’re gonna inspire to make my dad’s recipe at home 🙂

I remember your first post! Thanks for sharing this.
Making assumptions about your general location since you mention Market Basket, in case we live in the same city – if you haven’t tried the pizza at Himalayan Kitchen in Somerville yet, I recommend. Their crust isn’t really NY style, but the palak paneer one might appeal to you! And their loot pizza is a pineapple + other things veggie option too.
