I crave this bruschetta-like pizza in spring, when I'm planting tomatoes in our garden. Slices make great appetizers when the tomatoes are ripe. But you can also serve the pizza alongside a grilled entree or as a meatless main course.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this pizza. The basil pesto really balanced out the flavor of the tomatoes.

I've tried many tomato basil pizza recipes, but this one is by far the easiest and most delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy and the sauce was flavorful.
