Romaine / Cucumbers - Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Bake dough on top rack for 3 minutes without toppings to let it crisp up.
While the dough bakes, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for the pizza) and then shallots and mushrooms to heated oil. Saute for 6 to 8 minutes, until tender. Toss with BBQ sauce.
Spread the tomato sauce over dough, cover in cheese, and then sprinkle on mushrooms, shallots, pineapple and jalapenos.
Bake pizza on the top rack for 8 to 11 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
While pizza is baking, whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard and oil (portion for the salad). Toss with lettuce and cucumbers right before serving.
Slice pizza and top with red pepper flakes if you’d like. Enjoy with salad on the side!
