I really enjoyed the flavor of this pizza but I had a somewhat difficult time with the directions. I did drain the can of tomatoes otherwise the pizza would have been swimming in liquid. I followed the baking directions and while the crust underneath was perfect, the crust on the sides of the pan was overdone to the point of burning and that was after only 20 minutes total of baking. Next time I would just cut the time down. Again, the flavor was excellent! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
