"Something like Life of Pi pizza in a stone oven: super cheesy goat cheese, spinach, Mama Lil's peppers and chicken."

"Same as Michelle (left). We like the same things. It's kosher, ha ha ha."

"I'd top it with organic, free-range, artisanally barbecued, grass fed tempeh with aged soy cheddar and bean sprouts. Then I'd bake it in my yard on my dryer-drum fire pit next to my chicken coop."

"I'd cover it with the world's hottest pepper and make it at the gates of hell."

"I'd make an engine-charred pizza with lots of anchovies and sausage."

"I'd bake it in a clam and have arugula and goat cheese and something good like anchovies."

"I'd put world peace on it and make it in the halls of power."

"Artichokes all day in my oven!"
