Tasty and easy!
This pizza was both easy to make as well as delicious! Loved the sun-dried tomatoes.

Pretty Good. I made this ahead of time for dinner after a yoga class. Think it would have been less dry had I been able to eat it right away. I used fresh tomatoes instead of dried. I will try it again. Flavor was good.

it was okay
pretty good, a little dry. next time i would add just a little olive oil to the bean paste also i cut the tomatos into chunks vs. leaving them whole (the way they came) but other then that, i would make this again.

LOVE the bean & spinach base!!
My Fiancé is allergic to tomatoes, which makes pizza hard for us, but even he loved this substitute. As we're both lactose intolerant, I used soy mozzarella. I've made this many times, with various toppings--artichokes and mushrooms, turkey sausage, plain and it's always been a hit. I even made a few for a party I had and they went in minutes! Use frozen spinach and mushrooms and you have no problem with dryness!

Tasty!!
I made this pizza for my family for lunch and my husband and son loved it. They want me to make it again. The only thing I did differently was that I didn't use sun dried tomatoes, I used fresh ones.

Great and Easy!
I really enjoyed making this! One note is I reduce the qty of garlic next time to one clove - it seemed a little strong to me. Added a little heat with red pepper flakes.

white bean pizza
This was very tasty. I did add salt and pepper with a drizzle of olive oil to the beans. My family loved it and it was quick and easy!

Yum!
This pizza was delicious! Next time though I will add salt & pepper into the beans. There are so many variations you can do with this! My husband even liked it!

I made this recipe on whole wheat pitas and used chicken instead of white beans and it worked great! Some claim it's a little dry, but hence the sun-dried tomatoes! Great recipe

So good!
I tried this recipe last night and it was amazing! I added a few tablespoons of water and a tsp or so of olive oil to the beans to make them creamier. I also added salt and pepper to the beans. I also made my own crust. I will make this regularly!

I made this last night and we didn't like it at all. My husband and I could only eat half. I think I will have to add flavor of pepperoni when we attempt to eat the other half. I can keep it kind of healthy by precooking the pepperoni in the microwave when paper towel layers. I think what we didn't care for was the bean paste--and it was really dry. I know I will not make this recipe again.

awesome!
i made this recipe on whole wheat pitas (used three of them instead of one large pizza crust). perfect for single servings and great for freezing and saving the rest!

Good, but a little dry
My husband is a meat fanatic, and even he didn't miss the meat in this pizza. It was a little on the dry side, so we addded a little bit of low fat alfredo sauce. Will definitely make again!

I just made this and substituted red pepper strips for the tomatoes. I also sprinkled on some red pepper flakes. It was a little dry but tasty.

Tasted great!
I added some Alfredo sauce before putting the rest of the toppings on. It was amazing!

Fantastic!
Loved this healthy pizza recipe and my kids can't get over how much they don't mind the spinach - yea!!! I use a prepared whole wheat crust and used extra cheese to combat the dry tendancy, but it was so good!

PIZZA
I liked the flavors but it was too dry, it needed moisture of some sort. Maybe lightly brush the crust with olive oil prior to adding toppings. Overall not bad at all kinda tasty.

I'm a bit of a health freak who has an usually strong liking for pizza. Instead of ordering greasy delivery pizza, me and a few friends made this pizza for movie night. It was very unique and extremely delicious!! All of the ingredients work well together, so I can't think of many alterations to the recipe.

Great recipe!! We didn't really care for the pre-made crust, although it helped for shortness of time, but I will definately make this again (and probably with my own crust next time).
