MmmmMmmm Good! What a nice change of pace for dinner. Can't wait to make this as an appy. I bought some homemade pita at the Farmer's Market, just perfect for this. I lightly brushed each side of the pita with EVOO then baked for 3-4 mins > to crisp up the pita & prevent the pita from getting soggy with sauce. Oven roasted bell pepper slices and onions w/ EVOO for 7 mins. We each made our pizzas by adding our favorite toppings (peppers, onions, hot Italian sausage, black olives, basil, fresh and shredded mozzarella cheeses, tomatoes. Finally, baked on a preheated baking stone. It's a keeper. Thanks Pebbles!

This was a very good lunch!! I changed some things though to make it more friendly. I subbed salsa for the marinara sauce,I used fat free mozzarella shreds,baby tri-color peppers,no salt and I used spray olive oil. Instead of just pepper I used garlic pepper. I didn't blanch the veggies because I like them crisp. Thank you so much for posting! I will be making this again!! :)
