- First get on with the beans: I puree them in food processor after cooking...
- Drain the beans and rinse under tap water, then put in saucepan ,add in the garlic, Tabasco and the lemon zest and warm through., stirring and squishing with a wide, flat spoon so that the beans go into a nubbly mush. Season, to taste. (Some beans are saltier than others)

- MAKE THE TOPPING:
- Mince the garlic and let it steep in the olive oil. Brush the oil and garlic on the Boboli, leaving the half-inch circumference untouched. Spread the crust with the bean mash, sprinkle the clams around the pie with a dash of their own juice. Sprinkle on the oregano and cheese.
- TO BAKE:
- Transfer pizza to the stone. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is light brown. Remove the pizza, slice, and serve with beer and plenty of napkins.
