I've made this before I even know this recipe existed. What's great about it is that you can do a half and half pizza easily. I use tomato sauce on one half and the basil pesto on the other. Add some leftover deli rotisserie chicken or substitute in sun-dried tomatoes if you don't have any fresh. It's a great 'go to' supper for me since I always have jarred pesto in the fridge.

Before I bake the crust, I sprinkle it with Italian seasonings and red pepper flakes!!!!! Gives the crust a LOT of flavor!

I made this pizza last night and it was fantastic! It was so easy to make and my husband loved it too! I did add maybe two extra teaspoons of the pesto sauce and I pre baked the crust for 5 minutes to be sure it would be crisp in the center. I will make this often!
