sooooo good! the roll-out Pillsbury dough was way more convenient than a typical ball, and tasted just as good. considering doubling up on the cheese sticks next time, the dough puffed up more than expected so there's plenty of space. the dough rolls out into a rectangle, and since the cheese sticks are straight I'm thinking of using a regular cookie sheet. thanks for the great idea!

I love how easy you make pizza to prepare! Thanks Pillsbury, you always come through for me. My pizza crust was perfect and I was able to use up our stock of pepperoni. I added pre-cooked fresh mushrooms and green and red peppers too.

The crust turned out great! and it was easier to make than expected. however, i either put too many ingrediants on it or needed to make the bottom of the pizza dough thicker because it didnt stay together like a normal pizza does. Will definatly try it again, but make the bottom crust thicker and maybe double layer it or buy a thicker crust.
