For those days when the usual just won't do...
...there's always the Friday Special from Shakey's.
And it all starts with the legendary and original thin crust pizza dough. The perfect char on the edges of the thin crust add both flavor and texture, and it's the perfect base for the toppings of shrimps, anchovies, and mushrooms. The undisputed Shakey's classic, the Friday Special (P 420 Large Thin Crust) is always a winner, and not just on meatless Fridays. This is the pizza that proved to me a long time ago that a good pizza doesn't have to be loaded with the usual proteins. Don't get me wrong, I'll have a pizza topped with pepperoni anytime, but there are days when it just feels like a Friday Special is the way to go. The delicate flavors of the shrimps contrast with the sharpness and punch of the anchovies, perfectly balanced by the nutty notes of the mushrooms. And on a thin crust, the blend of flavors just work so well.
Meatless Fridays, or any day, I'll have a classic thin crust Friday Special any time...
