Absolutely delicious!! I added some leftover chicken with the bacon and skipped the green onions. I will be making this pizza again - it's a new family favorite.

A wonderful pizza. I make with a homemade crust on a stone at 500 degrees. I will interchange the Monterey Jack with Mozzarella depending on what I have on hand. My children are not green onion fans so we don't use those. A favorite at our home. I've been making this recipe for quite a while (over a year) and regret the delay in the review, as this is an excellent pizza.
