I had the immense pleasure, while visiting Brazilia, Brazil, of enjoying a Portuguese pizza and I've been craving it since like a woman on a pregnancy crave hunt.
Instead of a tomato sauce, it was white and creamy, had a white cheese, though I doubt it was mozzarela, a beautiful sausage that was chopped and sprinkled around the top of the pizza as well as what I would assume was chopped quail eggs. There were also whole unpitted queen olives. I remember the pizza as being quite salty. Yummers!
I have never in my life tasted a more divine pizza and I want it and I want it now.
Does anyone know what kind of pizza I'm talking about and do you have a recipe for it?
I would give up my fourth born child (which will never happen, of course, I'm cut, tied AND burned) for this recipe. I'm craving it badly!!

I'm sorry if I didn't point this out, but the sauce wasn't tomato based, it was white.

oh that last post is getting me closer. I now remember the sausage as being very similar to calabrese, so woohoo!

i'm brazilian and i eat it almost every week... the top of the 'pizza portuguesa' is basically: ham, calabese,eggs(boil them then slice thin),bacon,olives(i prefer black ones), cheese(mozzarela) ,tomato and onion..
there are some variations but it's the basic ... the one you ate is one of them: instead of mozarella they put a cream cheese called catupiry... i think you may have problems finding it...

PORTUGUESE CHORIZO PIZZA
Ingredients needed:
Pizza Dough
1 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 pound smoked chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
8 ounces mozzarella, grated
Preheat the oven to 500°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
One at a time, pull and gently stretch each pizza dough portion into a 6-inch round. Put each piece of dough on a greased baking sheet. Pat each out to a 10- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on each round, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the chorizo on top of the sauce and top with a thin layer of the cheese.
Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 20 minutes, switching the pans from top to bottom after 10 minutes.
Serve immediately.
Yield: two 10-inch pizzas
