The Smokehouse pizza is inspired by the grand tradition of American Barbeque which dates back to the 1800s (for the historians out there). I have taken some classic elements of American BBQ with pork burnt ends which are the crispy crunchy and caramelised ends of the barbequed pork cut (all the chef's favourite bits) plus pork ribs and beef meatballs to give this meaty and smoky pizza a whole lot of flavour and some spiciness which has been offset with a fresh topping of savoury blue cheese dressing, salad optional of course.
