Good, but slightly bland. Adding just a little pizza seasoning made it a ton better! I also needed to add quite a bit more flour.

The crust of this recipe was super easy and quick. I grilled the pizza. Used 1/3 cup whole wheat flour and the rest white flour. I also used some cherry tomatoes roasted on the grill.
