Domino's Pacific Veggie Pizza

A couple weeks ago, the office ordered lunch for us courtesy of a patient because our nurse practitioner, Shani, is moving away. That's a story in and of itself cause we've bonded so much, and I'll miss her terribly. Anyway, not realizing feta is considered a "soft" cheese and is off my diet, the girls were quite proud that they had ordered this delicious looking Pacific Veggie pizza for myself and Shani (who is a pescatarian). Also, not realizing that the pizza had feta on it, I dove in because it looked so fabulous. It was only after I had a slice that I found an advertisement attached to the top of a box with the ingredient list. I was so disappointed because I was really surprised how yummy it tasted. I'm a girl rather stuck on making pizza at home, but have found lately in my pregnant-always-sick-cooking-makes-me. . .you know. . .state, I've been eating out more and experiencing even pizza from outside of my kitchen. This is one of those pizzas I would love to eat again after the baby or even sooner if they'll hold the feta cheese, which would be sad because it was crunchy and had a nice little bite to it. I'm also not sure that the provolone used vegetarian enzymes as my research says provolone is one of the cheeses that uses calf rennet most often.

Cheese aside, the roasted red peppers were sweeter rather than hot. I didn't notice much tomato on it, but that's OK, there was so much else. And those green leaves are fresh spinach not fresh basil. Altogether, the pizza was a nice balanced meal on a thin, non-greasy crust that I was happy to at least have a taste of. After that I finished off the rest of the cheese pizza lying around. I did thank the girls for thinking of me, but none of them (just like me in the beginning) had any idea that feta was considered a soft cheese and is not advised during pregnancy.

Would you like to know what we're eating next?
