Do your Don a favor, and use these recipes that have been handed down in "the Family" for generations. Often at our table we top our pies with pepperoni, mortadella or even bacon. You can add onion, green pepper, black olives, and even a little pineapple. We use fresh mozzarella cheese and we sprinkle a little Romano cheese on top with parsley before we bake the pie for 15 to 20 minutes at 475 degrees.
