Diva-Licious Pesto Pizza

"This is a delicious pizza that's a combination of a pesto pizza and antipasto salad!!! Created by the Pantry Raiding Divas for the Zaar World Tour II! NOTE: If you'd rather use fresh red bell peppers, slice 1/2 red bell pepper into rings and saute with the mushrooms. NOTE: Purchased pesto may be used, if desired."

  1. This is my first review. The pizza was so good it was worth my time to leave a comment. I used store bought pesto and sun dried tomatoes instead of red peppers. An easy to make, filling, vegetarian option...thanks for sharing.

  2. A great and easy recipe that I'll definitely be using again and again! I had to substitute some black olive hummus for the pesto my first time after realizing my prepared pesto was a couple days out of date (oops) but the rest of the pie was made as directed - excellent flavor and plenty of toppings to go around. I'll definitely use pesto next time, I think the combination will be awesome! Thanks so much for this recipe. It's always nice to be able to make great pizza at home instead of digging out the wallet every time I need to splurge!
