My type of pizza. No tomato sauce on this one- it is replaced with pesto, and topped with eggplant, feta, and basil. Raley's

Very tasty. DH and I enjoyed it, the kids not so much. Did this on greek pita. Came together very quickly. Thanks.

Sounds really good so I went ahead and tried it. I would substitute a piece of Lavash or large pocket less pita bread. Some ripe sliced tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion along with a sprinkle of oregano and it would be FANTASTIC

This pizza is fantastic! It's so easy to prepare and even my 8 year old loved it! Tastes like something you would buy out at a trendy restaurant. Can't wait to make it again!
