Made this for dinner tonight thinking it would be a hit with the kids. However, it got quite a few mixed reviews. My one daughter loved the filling but did not care for the pie crust base at all, while the other two daughters said it was okay. My son decided his favorite part of dinner was the pie crust, so he ate the crust which my daughter scraped the filling off of. I found the combination to be quite different and interesting.

Where has this been for so long and how did everyone just pass it by until Chef loof found it! Well anyway, thank heavens she found it...it's GREAT! You can change the fillings around most anyway you would for a regular pizza, just keep to the approximate total amount! I painted the pie crust with an egg wash before baking and that helped keep the crust from getting soggy once filled and baked! A truly delightful recipe. DH loved it and took leftovers for lunch next day--said it rewarmed fine! Thanks Di!

This pie is an absolute delight! I don't care for onion so subbed a red pepper, and I used canadian bacon instead of salami. I was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough cheese but I stuck with the recipe amount and it was just right. Loved this - it's a keeper - thanks for posting the recipe!
