Made for Spring PAC 2013, mainly because there is only 1 place in Iceland that makes a good pizza & its 45 mi away! Pita bread is my go-to start when I crave a pizza & this recipe worked very well for us w/some pers pref chgs. DH sadly does not care for spinach, so I left that out & also reduced the jalapeno for his sake. I esp loved using red pesto here, but could not imagine a pizza w/o garlic so I added it generously. The rest was made as written & DH was mighty happy as he "made his pizza disappear". Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :)
