I used a Mama Mia mini pizza crust for the base. I enjoyed the mix of flavors. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT4.

I have to admit to making a few changes to accomodate what I had on hand. I used a prebaked pizza crust and regular tomatoes instead of roma. I added a bit of shredded romano cheese. I also left off the artichoke hearts because I didn't have any, and the pepperoncini peppers because we don't care for them. No matter...this was delicious. Classic Greek flavors and I think next time, I may try using homemade tzatzkiki sauce or some Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I also think the use of Italian or focaccia bread is excellent and absolutely plan to use that next time. Thanks for sharing!
