Remember when I paid tribute to the Mempho, a grilled BBQ mac and cheese cheese sandwich from a restaurant when I lived in Memphis? Well I took the components of that and turned it into a pizza! Now this is the kind of pizza you need around to watch all those football games. With BBQ sauce, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and more cheese on top, what more could you ask for?

Honestly I wouldn’t mind having a side of pineapple casserole with this. Weirdly I never had that dish while I lived in the south and only discovered it after moving to Ohio for the second time. But I love pineapple on pizza (and other fruited pizzas) so it sounds like the perfect pairing here!
