Middle Eastern Meat Pizzas

I always love trying new toppings on my pizza, and while examining some fresh ingredients in my refrigerator, this incredibly savory, meaty, and deeply colored pizza came to be. Last summer I decided to combine two of many favorite foods- pizza and meat- which was one of the most delicious dinners we had all summer meat pizza . Aiming to create an exciting blend of complex flavors could sometimes be tricky, however on pizza it's all about your favorite toppings. This Middle Eastern pizza's thin crust, lemon zing, and beefy bites, make it a perfect all-in-one treat for any summer night.
