BLT pizza

We love California Pizza Kitchen for their different types of pizza, but we don't eat there often.  We got the idea for the BLT pizza from our favorite pizza to order at CPK.  We happen to grill this pizza, but you can do it in the oven as well.   I LOVE to grill pizza, it comes out so crispy.

6- 8 slices bacon- cooked
1 pizza dough (we get ours from our local pizzeria)
1 package mozzarella cheese
head of iceberg lettuce
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 Tbsp mayonaise

Cook your bacon, I happened to cook mine in the oven, but anyway you like to cook bacon will do.  If you want to do it in the oven place your bacon on a large jelly roll sheet lined with foil and put in a cold oven and turn the oven on to 400 degrees.  Should take about 10-15 minutes for the bacon to cook.  Next, I cut my dough into fourths and stretch them out.  Spread a little olive oil on side and place it oil side down on your grill.  When the bottom is nice and crispy flip your dough.  Then, spread your mozzarella cheese on the face up side of the dough.  Close the grill and let it melt.  While the cheese is melting, cut your lettuce so that it is shredded and place in a large bowl.  Cut your tomatoes into small slices as well and put with your lettuce.  Next, mix the lettuce and tomatoes with your mayo.  When your dough is ready, layer your bacon, and then top with lettuce mixture.  YUMM!
