SERVING HINTS:  This is your kitchen and your pizza so use your imagination and go wild with the toppings.  Don't forget the salad bar at the grocery store.  Fill one of those plastic containers with:  cheese, olives, onions, mushrooms, peas, or anything else you like.  Don't forget to fill a small container with blue cheese dressing or ranch for a dipping sauce.   


VERSION 2:  Refrigerated biscuits can be flattened to 1/4 to 1/2 inch, cover with toppings and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Use BBQ sauce for a southwestern pizza.  You can buy a small jar of pizza sauce.
