I put pizza sauce on the crust before adding the other ingredients. This was a nice change of pace from the usual pizza toppings.

Very delicious! I didn't add onions but added double the pesto sauce. It was very very good.. will be making again, thanks!

This was delicious. I used chicken breast and cooked it in a little olive oil. The red onion and tomatoes on top were yummy. I was worried it might be dry, so I used pizza sauce, and it turned out perfect. A real crowd pleaser.

This was a great recipe! Despite the fact that a favorite pasta dish around here involves pesto and chicken, this was the first time we tried something similar on a pizza. I cut the recipe in half since I was only feeding 2 people, used a small red onion, and chicken breast (as it was on hand). This will definitely be made again!! Thanks!!
