I used "Gourmet" 7" pizza crust, and put the toppings on but somehow this just didn't do anything for me. The salmon overpowered the taste of the cheese. I don't know, I guess I like the tomato based pizza better. Sorry.

Pizza usually needs to be cooked in a very hot oven, between 450 - 500 degrees. The recipe looks good!

One thing is missing from this recipe. What is the temperature of the oven supposed to be?
