Okay this was AMAZING! I just used a can of Pillsbury thin crust dough. I also tried adding some lemon zest after photographing it, which really boosted the flavor. You HAVE to make it. We had some razor clams left from our clamming time on the beach. This is now my new favorite way to eat them!

I've been looking for a white seafood pizza recipe for years, but only 2t of cheese??? Are y'all using mozzarella or any other cheeses on these? The pictures sure look like they have more cheese than the recipe states!

I found this somewhat bland, as many RR recipes tend to be. I luckily used garlic/herb pizza dough, added some roma tomatoes and some mozzarella cheese which really helped (I wish I had added even more tomatoes because they were great). I only used 8 oz of dough per pizza to make it very thin which I liked. I also really liked the fresh thyme on top (I used lemon thyme from my garden). Made for ZWT. . .thanks!
