Superbowl Sunday is one of the biggest days of the year for pizza consumption. And it's probably the longest you'll ever wait for pizza to be delivered. Why not take pity on your pizza guy and make your own?Grab some dough while you're out stocking up on snacks today and have a go at this Spinach and Feta Cheese Greek-za. #GoHawks

Take your dough out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 1 hour before baking. At the same time, preheat Baking Steel at 500F.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic for 1 minute to flavor the oil, add spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Squeeze the water out of the spinach in a tea towel and set aside. You don't have to go crazy and squeeze the life out of it, you just want to get rid of most of the liquid.
In a small bowl, stir together the marinara sauce and oregano, if using.
When ready to put your pizza together, turn the oven up to 525F. On a pizza peel lightly dusted with flour, stretch the dough into an ~ 10 inch circle and spread on the sauce, leaving about a 1 inch border. Add the mozzarella cheese and bake for 6-7 minutes until the cheese is just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven, add the spinach and feta and cook for ~ 2 minutes more.
There’s nothing quite like a good Cubano sandwich. Layer on layer of pork – roasted loin, ham and salami with Swiss cheese, pickles and a schmear of mustard, pressed like a panini until the cheese is melty. On the West Coast, unless you’re at a Cuban restaurant, it’s not a sandwich you see all that often. There are exceptions – the last one I had was actually a couple of years ago at Matt’s in the Market here in Seattle. We also have a Caribbean place called Paseo that’s supposed to have a great Cubano-like sandwich. But really, there's no reason you can't make a pretty good Cubano, or perhaps more accurately here, a medianoche sandwich at home. (The main difference is the bread).
The mojo(ish)-marinated pork started as tacos for Saturday night’s dinner, but as I thought about the leftovers, Cubano-inspired pulled pork sliders seemed like the perfect lunch for us and a great idea for the Super Bowl next weekend.
