What can I say!!! This is fun food! The best thing about it is, you can do most of these steps ahead of time. When I make these, I have everyone participate and make their own. I will take care of the first grilling and then, they can take it from there... The flavor the grill gives it, is like going to Napoli!... Give it your own personal touch with your favorite toppings. Remember it's all about Good Eats and "La Famiglia"!!
