I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I need a pizza with a garlic sauce...a restaurant here in Fort Collins (The Rustic Oven) has a pizza called the Saltimbocca (sp), basically white sauce, chicken, onions, mushroom and green peppers...if I'm making it myself, it's a garlic sauce with onions, peppers (red, green, yellow, orange), garlic seasoning, Black Forest Ham and Asiago cheese...I use Asiago cheese in a lot of my cooking...comes from spending winters in that region of Italy for ski and winter warfare training, I guess...

Steve,
You ever been to Beaujo's pizza??

http://www.beaujos.com/

Living here as long as I have, I've never heard of it, until one day on the ambulance, my partner was talking about it. He said the best one to go to is up in Idaho Springs. Then low and behold, later that night, on an episode of Man vs Food, Adam is at a Beaujos in the PRB, digging into one of their Mountain Pie's.

Being from Chicago, of course I only know of ONE type of pizza, but I'm thinking, I may just have to scoot up the hill and give it a try.

There is one real pizza. It is found in Napoli, Italy. The tomatos there taste different(ash in the soil from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius). Toppings are used much more sparingly. Every part of the pizza(topping, sauce, crust) is a masterpiece. A touch of sea salt made just down the beach. Wine made from a winery right up the hill.

Beautiful Italian girl as a server.

Every other pizza is an afterthought.

And regarding pizza in Naples, what I found during my time with the 509th in Italy (and later in Alpini school), is that Americans pervert Italian cuisine...hell, most pasta I ate in Italy had a dab of tomato sauce, it wasn't drenched in it the way it is served here...

BeauJo's is very good, filling pizza (just could never bring myself to slather honey on the crust, though). We used to have two in the Springs, but they shut down several years ago, despite appearing continuously busy. There used to be one just north of C-470, but that closed, too. Now our BeauJo's experiences occur only during trips past Idaho Springs (also a good time to stop by and make a contribution to Tommyknocker's bottom line).

Amalfi's

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Amalfi's on Nockhergasse in Bad Tölz. They had a pizza diavolo that has got to be the best (although without meat). A nice italian style crust, bit of sauce, cheese, yellow pepperoni's and lots of garlic.

Need a recipe? If you have a Trader Joe's near you they have a pretty good one.

Gino's East is not, IMO, the pinnacle...but it is very good. Salerno's formerly of Berwyn and now in Oak Park...now that is a pie!
