Delicious

This was a great pizza recipe - I used it mainly for the crust, which was absolutely delicious. I followed one of the reviewers advice and added just a 1/2 tsp of honey to it, and then also made it with pineapple and ham toppings. Fantastic!

Wonderful

What a great pizza. I made it just like the recipe, except for the crust. I bought an already made, thin crust. You absolutly do not miss the sauce. I recommend this to all pizza lovers.

Pizza!

This pizza look very good! I make pizza alot for my family, and I like to healthify my recipies too. For me I add a little bit of honey into the crust to add sweetness, and a package of yeast to make it fluffy. With those two additions you can add whole wheat flour and it adds to the flavor. I add up to about half whole wheat flour and it turns out delishious! Also to add more flavor you can add some dried Italian seasonings, pepper, oragono, and fresh basil. Zuchini, portobella mushrooms, onions, whole garlic cloves, and zuchini. Chicken is also a PERFECT match for pizza! Chicken, fresh tomatos, and basil pesto is one of my favorite pizza combinations.

Great-tasting pizza

I thought this "healthified" version of pizza was excellent. The vegetable selection was great, and I never missed the sauce. To spice this pizza up a bit, I added some fresh basil and 2 tablespoons of feta! It was a true success!
