I made this recipe exactly as written with one deviation; I omitted the artichoke for dietary purposes. These toppings paired with Recipe #321059, made for a very good pizza. I particularly loved using the Alfredo sauce, as I do not care for traditional red sauce. I would recommend this recipe and will be making it in the future. Made the AZ Recipe Swap #22.
