AMAZING PIZZA! We do love fajita, and to have it on pizza is so much easier to eat. Delicious! Enough for 8??? Not in our house, for 6 max.

Delicious flavor. We love fajitas so when I saw your pizza recipe I knew we had to try it. The flavors were spot on for fajitas. I had some tri colored peppers in my garden so it was the right time to try it. thank you for sharing a new family favorite with us.

I personally liked this but my family did not. I used leftover diced chicken and pre-cut frozen onions & peppers. (time saver). The flavor was good. Simple to make.
