Vodka Sauce Pizza

Deliciously different, this pizza tops a no-knead pizza dough with a rich homemade vodka sauce and then is topped with basil, fresh mozzarella and shaved Parmesan. The vodka sauce pizza sauce can be made several days ahead and the dough can be made a day ahead. Simply assemble, bake and enjoy!
