Diva-Licious Pesto Pizza image

This is a delicious pizza that's a combination of a pesto pizza and antipasto salad!!! Created by the Pantry Raiding Divas for the Zaar World Tour II! NOTE: If you'd rather use fresh red bell peppers, slice 1/2 red bell pepper into rings and saute with the mushrooms. NOTE: Purchased pesto may be used, if desired.

I was disappointed with this pizza. The crust was too thick and the toppings were bland.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but this pizza was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the crust was perfect.

The crust is the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. It's the perfect base for all the delicious toppings.
