Try the same on a large flour tortilla shell for thin crust lovers, for extra crisp bake the shell first for a minute or so. Quick, easy

I made this for my kids and they loved it, a bit different from the regular pizza.

Oh my this was so good for dinner last night that I had to make another one this afternoon for lunch. Only thing different: 1-I didnt have onion but I can only assume that will make it even more awesome (i used yellow bell pepper in stead)2- grease your pan with a little olive oil, you wont regret it!

We love this one. I occasionally add zucchini and squash to get my family to eat their veggies. I know it sounds strange but just try it I don't even like zucchini usually.

This is not the real Pizza Margherita. I am a real italian and I know! This is not the way we make it in Italia. I don't doubt it is good , because it looks good, but is not an italian Margherita!
