The only pizza we craved when down there was created by a chubby American/Mexican guy who served it out of the kitchen of what was once a four bedroom casa to the now, dining room on the beach. The other rooms of the casa are also little businesses including a coffee/smoothie cafe, an art-gallery, and a shop selling traditional mexican rugs and other crafts. As the story goes, his mother purchased the run-down casa in the 70's when she fled California in a station wagon with five kids and a dog to start a new, more simple life. She raised the kids in the casa, who now all run the businesses in it with their own families.
This pizza is savory good, though it may sound odd, I have never met someone who doesn't love it that I've made it for. He served it with a freshly made hot-pepper sauce and a garlic-nut sauce.
Prepare the Garlic Nut Sauce
In a large, heavy skillet lightly brown a half-cup of chopped nuts (any) sunflower seeds and/or sesame seeds
Add one-half cup of olive oil
One head of minced garlic
Lightly browning mixture on med to low temp.
Season with sea salt.
Spread olive oil on a pizza crust and lightly salt it
Top with chunks of fresh fish (ceviche style --"cooked" by the acid in lime juice (I know... I know... there is not a fishing boat outside the door so instead I use canned white tuna and it's great)
Add Parmesan shavings or similar hard cheese
Bake (Hot oven 425 or follow instructions that come with the crust)
Immediately add sliced Avocado to the top of the baked pizza and serve with sauce above and bottled hot sauce.
