Best Pizza Ever! (AKA pesto-licous, zucchinily goodness pizza)

This pizza is not only pesto-licous, but it uses up zucchini from the garden (and shouldn't that be the ultimate goal of any summer pizza?).

Start out with the pizza dough recipe in the previous posting. Make sure to do the quick pre-bake it calls for.

Smear pesto (I promise I will get John to post the recipe...please do not get it from a jar) over the crust of the pizza. Cover pizza with chopped zucchini, sliced mushrooms, and peppers. Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves from the garden. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top with moderation (trust me, when the pizza is this good it doesn't need to be drowned in cheese).

Place on warm pizza stone in oven and bake for 7-10 minutes. Oven should still be pre-heated to 450 degrees from the pre-bake.


Remove from the oven, slice and enjoy! This will redefine your concept of pizza.
