Amazing Eggplant Zucchini Parmesan Pizza

Submitted by AndreaVT96

"Oh my gosh, this is soooo good! Different than most pizzas that you might come across and different than the other couple of eggplant parmesan recipes that I saw on 'Zaar. The marinara sauce really brings out the flavor of the veggies. And it includes not just eggplant but zucchini as well. Mmm! The crushed red pepper adds a bit of spice, so if you want to tone it down, you might leave that off--but I liked it as is."
