Sorry to say this was merely okay, for our taste. I can see where this might be enjoyed by kids or bachelors, but for us geezers, it was a disappointment. IMO, a better use of the ingredients would be to put them on a Boboli crust. I did add red & green peppers and extra cheese. Using Ragu Pizza Sauce, it just tasted too tomato-y. Also too much meat in proportion to veggies and bread.
