I spent a good deal of time in South Chicago. When you think of Chicago pizza, you normally would think of deep dish pizza. The South siders would argue with you. Thin crust is the pizza of choice there. I also love a BLT while on the South side, so I have combined the two with another wrinkle: the whole peeled canned tomatoes which are a Detroit pizza thing. I did cheat and use arugula and basil because regular lettuce would just be a soggy mess. I hope you like it.

1/4 pound bacon
1/4 pound arugula
2 ounces basil
1 15-ounce canned tomatoes (for 2,pizzas)
4 ounces mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon Italian herbs

1 pizza crust (I used the thin crust, canned)

Parmesan cheese to top
