Substitute

Substitute 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper for the ground black pepper to add spicy heat.

How to Slice Tomatoes

To easily slice a tomato, hold tomato so that the stem end faces out. Cut a thin slice off the stem end with a sharp chef's knife or serrated knife. Discard the trimmed end. Cut the tomato into slices of the desired thickness. Tomatoes cut this way will keep their juice better than those sliced vertically (from top to bottom).

Rated 3 out of 5 by chrislie from All I could find in the store was a thin crust which I personally prefer. All I could find in the store was a thin crust which I personally prefer. I thought that the pizza was different, tasty and healthy. My boyfriend didn't like it on a thin crust. He asked me to give you the comment that the pizza recipe should have at least 3 times the cheese. I used twice as much as the recipe called for and he felt it still needed more. He liked it, but wanted more cheese.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sperla from I made this pizza for a Saturday "get together" with friends. I made this pizza for a Saturday "get together" with friends. Everyone loved it! They thought I was a gourmet pizza chef! It was so easy and the presentation was great. The tomotoes and basil really top it off. I did use pizza sauce instead of just coating my crust with oil. We will make this over and over again. No more delivery for us!
