Captain America's Shield Pizza

I was in Ben's room throwing my Captain America frisbee shield at him, when I had an epiphany.

Me: Ben! D-did you ever notice...that Cap's shield is round?

Ben: *indignant look*

Me: Yeah! And you know what else is round?

Ben: ...lots of things?

Me: Pizza! I'm going to make a Captain America shield pizza!

Thus began a week-long search for a blue food that would be good on pizza. There's only a few, and most are disgusting. Blueberry and pepperoni pizza? Gross. Purple potatoes? More appropriate and malleable, but I don't know about that. I thought about just using sausage for the star, but I REALLY wanted a blue star. 

Well, I figured it out. And it's cool.

To help promote their new movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier which premiers tomorrow, I have a couple special guests to help me with this one.

Captain America: Welcome back to Eat Now! Today we're making a pizza that looks like my shield.

Winter Soldier: But Cap, your new shield looks nothing like this pizza.

Cap: Why do you gotta be like that? Why don't you show them the ingredients?

You need pizza crust, which you can buy or make (for the sake of time and ease, I used packaged crust), pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and blue corn tortilla chips.

 Preheat the oven to the temperature it says in the directions on the crust - usually 400-450 degrees, and lay it down to start building.

 Spread the sauce evenly around the crust

 Spread the cheese evenly over the sauce...you know how a pizza works...

 Arrange pepperoni in a ring as close to the end of the cheese as possible. You run out of space pretty quickly.

Lay out a second ring of pepperoni, leaving a ring of white mozzarella cheese, but being sure to leave room for the star in the center.

This is the hard part. I broke off pieces of the blue corn tortilla chips until I got enough small, straight, triangular parts. Get the straight edges down first, then fill it in with other pieces. Then put it in the over for the amount of time it says on the crust.

 Winter Soldier: How long does it say for this crust?

Cap: It says 12 minutes, but our oven is horrible and doesn't cook evenly. Put it in for six minutes, then we'll turn it halfway through.

Cap: By the way, how are you going to eat this pizza with that mask on?

Winter Soldier: Don't worry, I've got it.

Cap: Woah.....spoilers, dude....

And this is it! It was delicious! I forgot that cheese turns orange when cooked, so it doesn't have the red white and blue look of the shield, but it's close enough and was really good, so I don't care.

 Cap: It really was delicious. The total cost was about $15, but leaves leftover sauce, two pizza crusts, some cheese, and lots of pepperoni and chips. Speaking of which, I'm going to need a few bucks.

Winter Soldier: I...uh...left my wallet in my other body armor...

Cap: That's what you said last time...it's on now, you damn cheapskate...

Hope you guys enjoyed it, see you next time!
