I love healthy choices and pears and spinach makes this recipe a sweet and fresh experience, completing the pizza like a full meal. The chicken gives that satisfying full feeling and the herbs and cheese, of course finishes it all off - in that complex robust gourmet way. Highly recommended.

Holy smokes. I made this pizza and it is by far the easiest and best in-home pizza recipe I've ever found. It's easy enough to make for the kids after school and fancy enough for an upscale cocktail party. 2 MASSIVE THUMBS UP!
