Next Time You Make Pizza... Ditch The Crust & Try This Instead!

Grilled pizza anyone? It's gluten-free, if you're into that sort of thing!

I felt a little bad about ditching the pizza crust. I should have called first and given it a proper warning first that I was about to say goodbye, but I was blindsided.

It all happened so fast.

I was walking down the street one day, deep in thought, and BAM.

This amazing smell smacked me in the face and stopped me dead in my tracks.

I looked to find the source of this amazing smell and it was none other than the amazing " Vietnamese street pizza lady" as I so creatively nicknamed her:

Let's get a closer look at what she was making, mkay? (I'll give you a hint: it's street pizza)

Now, you're probably used to well-raised pizza. The kind that has a proper home. A roof over it's head. A cozy oven to bake in.

You've probably never gone to the other side of the tracks where the street pizza hangs out. No roof, no cozy oven. Just street pizza living the pizza thug life.

I hadn't spent time with street pizza, either. But oh man.
I never thought giving up pizza crust could be so good.

I may never mingle with well-crusted pizza again.

Ok, that's a lie. I'm totally going to eat regular pizza AND street pizza.

Thankfully food relationships aren't monogomous, because I'd cry a little.

Anyway, this bad boy is called Banh Trang Nuong (Vietnamese Street Pizza)!

Instead of using crust, it's made with rice paper (which I use all the time for things back in the states...but I never knew you could just straight up grill it)!

You can find rice paper at pretty much any grocery store, so if you want to try this, lemme know. It's a quick meal and I can't wait to get home to try it with stereotypical pizza ingredients and see how it tastes.

Then, they put all THESE yummy things inside:

Quail eggs, green onions, butter, cheese, crispy seafood/ chicken/ sausage.

It's 20k for one pizza, so about .90 for one!

I was supposed to go eat something inside this super cool unique place in Ho Chi Minh city, but her pizza smelled so good that I never ate inside. I just ate 2 of her pizzas instead!

See how happy I am? This is me cheating on my first Vietnamese pizza with my second Vietnamese pizza 10 minutes later, which is totally acceptable because food monogamy isn't a thing!!
