RED CLAM PIZZA



Red Clam Pizza image

This pizza remains dairy-free until it hits the table, where you can decide to add Parmesan--or not. Not "fishy" tasting, plus the clams were delicious and not rubbery! My 9 year-old loves this pizza! For the sake of brevity, I'm not including a crust recipe--just use your favorite one. We enjoyed it with a New York Style crust. Adapted from a recipe in American Pie by Peter Reinhart.
