Who says that pizza has to be slathered with tomato sauce and dotted with pepperoni, or that blue cheese is only good as a dip for chicken wings? Not me! This pizza combines mozzarella with blue cheese and adds a layer of prosciutto. Then, it's topped off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and arugula. Sprinkling cool arugula over the hot crust makes this pizza unique, but adding the sweet/salty combo of balsamic glaze/prosciutto makes it special. Serve it in small squares as an appetizer, or, cut it in wedges as an entree - perfect for your next pizza party!
