Very tasty pizza! I don't care for onions so left them out, otherwise made as directed. I used a Boboli whole wheat thin crust and just a small amount of cheese. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I was a little hesitant about this, being my first homemade pizza, but I shouldn't have worried at all because this was delicious! Being a vegetarian it is often difficult to spice boring food up with the lack of meat, but I really loved this. Served this for a family dinner and the food critic aunt absolutely adored it! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I thought it needed just a little something extra in terms of sauce. Will definitely be making this again and experimenting with different sauces.

My family LOVES this recipe!! If I were making just for the kids and me, I wouldn't have to change even a thing, but hubby is a meat guy, so I just added a little cooked chicken to the top and he raved too!
