This was pretty tasty, and I'll probably make it again. But make no mistake: it is NOT like pizza dough! Don't expect the finished product to be picked up with your hand and eaten like a slice. I thought the texture of the "crust" was a lot more like a soufflé. My zuke was about 14.6 oz, and it grated to just about exactly 3.5 cups, so I didn't have to adjust amounts. I used a 13" x 9" Pyrex baking dish, and it seemed like I had to bake/broil for a lot longer than the recipe said. Still, all in all, it was a very tasty base for a layered dish, and I liked it. But it's not pizza!
