Amish buggies at a Pizza Hut...shows how popular pizza pie is among the Amish
Editor's Note: Ignore this is if you aren't on the email newsletter list (but, hey, if you aren't, why aren't you!?:) I wrote about a Shaker cookbook and Amazon is just weird, there are about 5 different listings for the same book with a crazy quilt of prices. I know I saw some used copies available for $1.50 yesterday....but then I checked later and they were gone, this looks like a link with some reasonable prices)

The Amish are no different than anyone else in at least one respect: pizza is a popular, popular food. So popular that inventive Amish cooks find ways to "pizza-fy" other foods, so you have things like: pizza casserole, pizza loaf, pizza muffins, pizza chili, and all sorts of other concoctions. SIGH, these other concoctions are all wonderful but I'm not sure that anything just beats honest-to-goodness pizza If the pizza is done right I could eat pizza for almost every meal.
PIZZA BISCUIT CASSEROLE: Hmmm, what do you get when you marry two Amish favorites: pizza and biscuits? Why, you get pizza biscuit casserole, of course! Click here for the recipe.
PIZZA MOUNTAIN PIES: Okay, this one might give a traditional pizza pie a run for its money in my book, this has a lot of qualities of a pizza, it's just all wrapped in a crust. Yum. Click here for the recipe.
PIZZA CHILI: Yum....try this homemade chili using, you guessed it, pizza sauce. Click here for the recipe.
PIZZA SLOPPY JOES: Oh wow, this recipe combines two of favorites: sloppy joes and pizza! Click here for the recipe.
HOMEMADE PIZZA BURGERS: Again, a recipe that combines the best of both worlds: pizza and burgers. Click here for the recipe.
ROSANNA'S PIZZA TOSS CASSEROLE: Check this gem out from Rosanna (who, I believe, will be returning to the Amish365 site soon!).
Hey Kevin, We're originally from the Syracuse, NY area, but I spent 6yrs of my life in Utica(3 for nursing school+3 for my husbands Family Practice residency.) Do you remember the name of the pizza place? There was one toward downtown that had the BEST Sicilian pizza ever! Unfortunately, I don't know if the place exists any longer as I'm talking 35-36yrs ago.
As for Pizza Hut- to me it does seem greasier and I think they changed their brand of sausage. Don't really care for it. Guess I'd rather make my own.
In the meantime- blessings! Carol
Carol, you know, it may actually have been a Sicilian pizza place...I have a vague memory of that, that'd be funny if it were the same place...I mean there can't be THAT many pizza places in Utica...
