I love pizza and pesto ... both together = YUM !!! This was quick to fix, especially using refrigerated pizza dough. I bought a rotisserie chicken from the deli section in the market, used half for the pizza and kept the other half for something else this week. All the ingredients tasted perfect together! Thank you Kittencal :)
